One of the most exciting parts of planning a wedding is deciding on your theme. This is what decides what you’ll wear, how the venue will be decorated, and even what kind of food you will have. Having a timeless wedding theme makes it easier for you to narrow down some of the bigger decisions of your wedding day. To make deciding on a theme a little easier for you, we have come up with four classic wedding themes to draw inspiration from.
Vintage
One of the most popular wedding themes is vintage. This is a classic choice because of its timeless aspects. From suspenders and bowties to old Hollywood hair and glam makeup. You can even add to this theme by picking decoration pieces that are a little weathered to give them that vintage look. These elements all come together for moments that will never go out of style.
Bohemian
Picture this: You’re walking down a nontraditional aisle lined with oriental rugs, all leading to the love of your life under a macrame altar. If this sounds like your dream wedding, a bohemian style might be for you. Bohemian-themed weddings have gained popularity in recent years. We believe that this is because they tend to combine coziness with being carefree. Although new, we don’t see this wedding theme leaving our minds in the near future.
Tropical
Thinking of a beach wedding? We’ll do you one better. How about a tropical wedding? The best part about tropical weddings is that you don’t necessarily need to be on a beach to enjoy the aesthetics they have to bring. From bright color palettes to tropical-themed cocktails (hello pina Coladas anyone!?). These will surely bring excitement to your day.
If you’re fortunate enough to live near a beach or are able to book a destination wedding, go all out! Get your wedding guests excited by having them dress in saturated hues or bold floral prints. You can even have a menu based on local fresh fish. Some of our favorite Quad City wedding and event caterers that can help you create a customized menu include Zeke’s Family of Restaurants (zekesrestaurants.com)
Fairytale
Some great fairytale wedding venues can be a waterfront mansion, a riverside venue or hilltop outdoor wedding. Every little girl dream of having a fairytale wedding. Your fairytale wedding or better said everyone’s wedding day is a real-life fairytale. Find inspiration from the classic fairytales like Cinderella and beauty and beast and imagine your personalized version of a storybook wedding.
Your wedding ceremony will be one of the most romantic moments of your life. Create a fairytale setting that matches the mood with abundant floral décor. Lean toward roses, orchids, and wisteria. We also love how adding rose petals to your wedding aisle or floral clusters to the entryway brings romance to each step down the altar. Your gown will represent you and allow your inner glowing bride to emerge. Opposing infused elements in the theme will bring forth a factor of surprise and wonder. Whether you choose a dress that is cream, red, or ecru, take notice of the details that make it all that is magical.
Whatever theme you decide on, your wedding day is bound to be amazing. What matters most is your experience with the ones you love the most.
