6 Important Things to Keep In Mind When Choosing Your Wedding Theme

1 — The Venue

Your wed­ding venue takes up a sig­nif­i­cant part of your bud­get. It’s impor­tant that the theme you choose match­es the loca­tion. If you’ve already booked a venue, find a theme that com­ple­ments its style. If you’re still look­ing for a venue, keep your dream theme in mind dur­ing your search.

2 — Con­sid­er­ing the Date 

Don’t for­get about the time of year, espe­cial­ly if you’re plan­ning an out­door wed­ding. You can’t real­ly have a gar­den wed­ding in the mid­dle of win­ter, can you? Each sea­son offers dif­fer­ent feel­ings and colours of nature. For exam­ple, if you’re hav­ing a fall wed­ding, think about using autumn colours like orange and red.

3 — Incor­po­rat­ing Your Heritage 

If you want to hon­our your fam­i­ly’s tra­di­tions, why not bring some of that into your wed­ding? Tra­di­tion­al wed­dings nowa­days don’t have to be bor­ing or too long. Cou­ples today often mix dif­fer­ent tra­di­tions, mod­ern ele­ments, and their own style.

4 — For­mal or Casual?

How for­mal you want your wed­ding to be will play a big role in choos­ing the theme. When you pic­ture your per­fect wed­ding, how for­mal is it? If you’ve always imag­ined a fan­cy black-tie event, then a glam­orous ball­room wed­ding might be the way to go. If you’re more laid-back, think about a fun gar­den par­ty or a chill beach wedding.

5 — Stick­ing to Your Budget

It’s impor­tant to be prac­ti­cal and stick to your wed­ding bud­get. If you’re on a bud­get, going for an indoor gar­den theme might not be the best idea since fill­ing a room with flow­ers can get expen­sive. Instead, con­sid­er a venue that already has nat­ur­al beau­ty and won’t need too many extra decorations.

6 — Adding Spe­cif­ic Details

If you want a wed­ding theme, that’s unique and per­son­al, you need to get spe­cif­ic. If a vin­tage theme appeals to you, think about a par­tic­u­lar time peri­od like the 1920s or 1960s. If you like the idea of a rus­tic theme, decide on the kind of rus­tic – do you mean ele­gant rus­tic or more rugged? The more pre­cise you can be, the more suc­cess­ful your final vision will turn out.
