Those are just some of the many details you will need to decide on during the wedding planning process. But for now, let’s look at some wedding themes you can use as an inspiration to personalize your own special day.
Classic and traditional
Traditional weddings are probably the first thing that comes to mind when we hear the word “wedding”. They’re classic and timeless which is why they’re one the most popular choices among soon-to-wed couples. Romantic and chic, classic weddings usually incorporate a soft, light color palette consisting of baby blue, pastel pink, lovely lavender, and pale yellow.A traditional wedding theme also calls for a venue that’s either a function hall or a ballroom. Use elegant lighting, white florals, and delicate details to decorate your wedding reception, and rely on scattered rose petals to make your ceremony even more romantic and sophisticated. Some married-to-be couples may also choose to have a rehearsal dinner before their big day. While they may not be as common in places such as Australia, rehearsal dinners are a traditional part of the wedding planning process for couples in the U.S., but whether or not you’ll incorporate them is up to you.
Vintage vibes
If you want to keep things old-fashioned but have a specific era or style in mind, a vintage wedding theme could be just what you’re looking for. What makes vintage weddings so amazing is that they can easily be adapted to fit your preferences. Places such as Australia are particularly abundant in vintage wedding venues, so soon-to-be-married couples can easily hire anything from a rustic barn venue to a glamorous ballroom for their special day.For couples inspired by the jazz era, finding the ideal place for their Gatsby-inspired wedding can be as simple as exploring Sydney wedding venues decorated in the 1920s New York style and equipped with everything from luxurious gold detailing to glittering crystal chandeliers. On the other hand, future newlyweds planning a vintage wedding that’s more on the casual side can hire a rustic barn wedding venue adorned with everything from string lights to banners to vintage finds and burlap. Think outside the box, have fun, but most importantly – make it feel truly yours.
Rustic or garden
Some couples appreciate all the glitz and glam that come with lavish wedding venues. Others, however, may take a more casual, laid-back approach to planning their big day. They enjoy all things DIY and get excited about amazing flea market finds. If that sounds a lot like you, consider throwing a rustic or garden theme wedding.
Such weddings are the perfect opportunity to show off your skills by making some DIY wedding decorations and remain eco-friendly in the process. These can include everything from vintage suitcases and wooden boxes to pampas grass and mason jars. As for the venue, a backyard, a garden, or a barn would be the perfect option as they all have that laid-back, casual vibe that works well with this theme.
Beach boho
Last but not least, some couples may choose to exchange their vows near the sea. Because the beach makes for the perfectly breathtaking backdrop, there’s not much more you can (or need) to do when it comes to wedding venue decor. What you can do is embrace natural beauty and find ways to further emphasize it. This can mean putting up a wooden wedding arch and draping a pastel fabric over it for a laid-back, bohemian look.
For a more casual vibe, mismatch your decor and make sure to incorporate some macramé accessories as well. A flower crown and organic bouquet are must-haves for a beach boho bride, while the groom can rock a floral shirt or suspenders to add some personality to their big day.
Wrapping up
We all strive to make our wedding day fun and memorable, and the best way to do that is to infuse it with some personal touches. Stick with a wedding theme that feels right for you as a couple and you’ll ensure that your personality shines through on this magical day.
