having a wedding theme


Weddings really stand out when a lot of thought and planning has gone in to the look and style of the day. Putting a theme to your wedding can be a great way of reflecting who you are as a couple and allows you to add your personal touches to make your wedding just how you want it.

So, how do you choose a theme for your wedding?

Colour
Probably the simplest way to get a theme running through your wedding is to pick a colour, or a colour palette that works really well for your wedding. You can incorporate your colours on your invites, flowers, bridesmaids, centerpieces, and even your wedding cake to make everything coordinate. 

You don't have to stick to one or two colours either - check out my last post on rainbow weddings!

Styling from a different era
A'vintage' wedding is one of the most popular theme choice recently, why not take it a step further and choose a particular era to style your wedding around.

Any decade has it's own fashion and styles that you can apply to your wedding, make your guests feel like they've stepped back in time!

Your interests
A good way to decide on a theme is to think about any particular interests you and your other half share, or anything important to you both, it could be animals, music, film, travel... Or think about how you first met, or any experiences that you've shared together that you'd like your wedding to reflect. My FiancĂ© proposed to me in Paris so we are including subtle Parisian influences in our day.

How do you make your theme come to life?

Incorporating any theme you decide on in to your wedding is never impossible in this day and age. I've seen weddings online covering almost every theme you could possibly imagine (some of them are just plain crazy and awesome), you'll find inspiration overload on the world wide web for anything you want.

Look through the numerous blogs and magazines out there and start collating things you like. Mood boards are wonderful things for wedding planning, or you could do what I've done and create a shared document that you're constantly adding ideas, pictures, links and all things wedding-related to. And whatever you do, use Pinterest - one of the most amazing sources of inspiration! If you're engaged and don't have a Pinterest account, then get one, NOW! You'll thank me.

Sit down with your other half and review everything that you've come across that you might like for your own wedding. Now is the time to rule out anything that either of you definitely do not want, or anything that is an absolute must for your special day. Have fun!
