One of the most important parts of planning a wedding is deciding on the theme. A bright and cheery spring wedding theme or a romantic and intimate winter wedding theme are classics that will never go out of fashion. But they're not exactly unique. If you want your wedding to be something your friends and family talk about for years, consider one of these amazing wedding themes instead.
Fairytale
What you'll need:
- Cinderella bridal dress
- Crystal chandeliers
- Red roses
- Huge floral arrangements
- Heart-shaped engagement ring
An impressive venue like a dreamy castle or a luxury hotel is the best choice for a fairytale wedding. Think about your favourite Disney movies and take inspiration for the perfect fairytale wedding. The magical rose from Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella's spectacular horse and carriage, and “Happily Ever After” signs are all wonderful ways to enhance the theme.
Bohemian
What you'll need:
- Floral crowns
- Dreamcatchers
- Floral table runners
- Wooden table numbers
- Floral-inspired engagement ring
A bohemian wedding theme is a great choice if you want something casual. Choose a beautiful outdoor venue in the countryside or by the coast and decorate with old, boho-chic items like flowers, baskets, books, and plants. Opt for a laid-back buffet instead of a formal sit-down meal and treat everyone to a relaxing day out.
Vintage
What you'll need:
- Lace wedding gown
- Weathered decorations
- Vintage music and band
- Intricate wedding invitations
- Vintage engagement ring
A restored mansion or a historic chateau is a great place for a vintage wedding. Make sure there's a big dancefloor with a themed band and have your stylist do your hair and makeup to suit the theme. One of the best things about a vintage wedding theme is that it's super versatile. You can go with the Victorian era, a 1920s speakeasy theme, or any other time from history.
Rustic
What you'll need:
- Natural textures
- Mason jars
- Mismatched seating
- Casual dress code
- Hand-tied bouquet
If you love spending time outdoors, make nature the focus of your big day and have a rustic wedding. Farms and barns provide the perfect environment for this wedding theme which you can enhance with wooden tables and chairs, burlap and string, and flickering candles when it's time to sit down and eat.
Celebrity
What you'll need:
- Red carpet
- Photographer/videographer
- Signature cocktails
- Multi-tiered wedding cake
- Dazzling engagement ring
Feel like a VIP and throw yourself a celebrity wedding. Hire multiple photographers to snap pictures of your guests paparazzi-style and arrive in glamorous cars usually reserved for the rich and famous. Keep the lights low, hire a DJ, and create exclusive booths for a cool after-party feel for your reception.
Make it personal
Having a special wedding theme isn't just a way to guarantee your big day is memorable. It's also an opportunity to make your wedding special and personal to you. Talk about your favourite things and what makes you unique as a couple to come up with the perfect wedding theme that captures your relationship.
