How to Choose a Wedding Theme
To choose a wedding theme that reflects both you and your partner’s personalities, you need to understand who you are as a couple.
Consider your interests, favorite colors, and any meaningful elements you’d like to incorporate. Look for inspiration from wedding websites, magazines, or social media. Experiment with different ideas by creating mood boards that creates the ambiance you want on your big day.
To plan your theme, consider:
- How did you meet?
- What activities do you enjoy doing as a couple?
- What kind of clothes do you both like, eg formal or casual?
- How is your house decorated, especially in terms of colours and style?
- What are your shared passions and interests?
The Season of your Wedding
Make sure your theme is in keeping with the time of year and location your wedding is being held.
Don’t plan for an outdoor wedding in winter unless you and your guests are willing to brave the cold, and consider the practicalities of a very formal beach or farm wedding.
Your Budget
If you’re going to be broke after your wedding day that’s not a healthy start for your marriage.
Confirm your budget and choose a theme that will cater to this choice.
For budget-friendly options consider a rustic, outdoor, garden, or vintage theme.
