You have been looking forward to the day of your wedding and you want it to be everything you dreamed and imagined. With family and friends ready to support you and be with you on your special day, you would like your wedding to be a reflection of your relationship and your union, and what’s more important than choosing your wedding theme.
Choosing a wedding theme is difficult, but it’s an important decision to make. Your wedding theme will set the tone and aesthetic of your entire celebration, from start to finish. It will dictate what sorts of decorations you’ll have, what color scheme you use, what kind of food, and even what sort of entertainment you’ll offer.
There are many factors to consider when choosing your wedding theme. Here are a few tips on how to choose your wedding theme.
1. DISCUSS WITH YOUR PARTNER
Most of your wedding decisions have to be between you both anyways. Your choice of a wedding theme should be one of them. That way, you’ll choose a theme that centers on things important to you both. The options range from colors to seasons or even a destination you both love.
Another way to choose a great wedding theme is to base it on your personality. For example, do you both love to hike and enjoy adventures? How are your senses of humor? These could affect the theme that is right for you. We’ve also seen couples base their weddings on books, holidays, or art pieces that they love.
2. DO YOU HAVE A GUEST LIST YET?
The size of your wedding will affect the kind of theme you can choose too. So you have to decide on how many people you want at your wedding before choosing a theme. Don’t fret yet, how about picturing your wedding? What do you and your partner see? Is it a big celebration or a small intimate party? This decision will play a role in what wedding venue you can hire and the theme that looks good.
3. YOUR WEDDING SEASON
Summer, winter, fall, and spring all have an impact on the wedding theme you can choose. For example, you can’t entirely throw a Frozen-themed wedding in the middle of summer. It could be dangerous if your bridesmaids have to wear those lovely heavy gowns and coats.
Some of the items that you want for whatever theme you choose could also be seasonal. So, make sure you keep your season in mind.
4. VENUES PLAY A ROLE TOO
Having an idea of what your wedding venue looks like could also make choosing your theme easier. So take your venue tours, settle on the one you want and then picture what pieces would work there.
Where you can, schedule a revisit to the chosen venue to be sure. Take a walk around and see how the space would work with whatever themes you have in mind. You could also check their website to see if a similar wedding has been hosted there before.
5. YOUR WEDDING VISION
What do you picture when you think of getting married? That is your wedding vision, and it also affects your theme choice. Do you want a formal or a casual event? A ballroom wedding theme, for example, would only work perfectly with a formal wedding.
Not all wedding venues will work with your vision, either. So, make sure you know this first. Your vision will help you choose what theme works best for your special day. It’ll also help you decide on which venue would better accommodate your dream celebration.
6. HOW’S YOUR BUDGET?
When it comes to choosing a wedding theme, keep it realistic and on budget. Any ideas that look like you’ll have to break the bank for should be shelved. That means you might have to estimate potential costs and other details to have an idea.
Things to consider include how much the décor, wedding fashion, and other aspects of the theme would cost. Only when you are sure that you can handle all costs associated with a particular theme should you choose it.
7. RESEARCH, RESEARCH
There are many wedding theme options available to make your wedding a success. Some of them include the boho chic wedding theme, the rustic wedding theme, the vintage wedding theme. You could also decide to go for the beach wedding or the ballroom wedding theme.
