Wedding Theme Ideas

Selecting a wedding theme is a very personal decision for a couple. A wedding theme is typically a reflection of something about the couple and can be over the top or just simple, creative details. Whether a couple would like to have a unique theme or a traditional feel, there are many different options for wedding themes that can fit the personality of any couple.

Beach Themes

Beach themes are some of the most traditional themes but it is not all about beach balls and sand. Classy ocean blues and greens for your colors, along with white candles sitting in hurricane glass with sand and tiny shells and attire that matches this relaxed theme is often a favorite. Using unique décor appropriate to your venue is important. If your wedding is in a traditional church, your beach theme is best carried out in your reception. If you have selected a seaside outdoor venue, then sandals, simple, breezy bridesmaids dresses and tropical flowers wrapped with tulle ribbons is a great place to start your theme.

Alma Mater

Many couples who meet in college often wish to have their alma mater play a strong part in their wedding day. Doing this tactfully when your mascot is a possum and your colors may be brown and gold can be tough, but there are lots of options for adding a little piece of your history as a couple in to your special day. Consider not destroying the color pallet you’ve had in mind since day one of wedding planning by using alma mater colors at a minimum, such as an insignia of the schools name written in white on your cake or using the school song as your entry song to your reception.

Environmentally Friendly

Going green is a trend growing in popularity. It is incredibly versatile and customizable to any bride and groom. From selecting environmentally friendly bird seed to throw on the happy couple as they exit the church to only using locally grown flowers and food, the options for going green can make a statement or be an underlying intent by the couple. An additional benefit to going green is that at times there can be a cost benefit to the products you select by choosing environmentally conscious, local resources.

Color Themes

Using a favorite color sprinkled on each and everything including drinks, napkins, dessert and tableware, can be a unique way to express something that is a signature to you. If you’re known to friends and family as being the queen of pink, it might not be your husband-to-be’s favorite way to celebrate his wedding day so be conscious of this. If you are set on tinting the frosting of your cake pink, then a chocolate frosted grooms cake may be a great compromise.

Selecting a wedding theme idea should be one of the more exciting parts of your wedding planning process that should definitely involve both the bride and the groom. Much of the remaining planning hinges from this single decision. Whether you are planning to go traditional with your wedding theme or you wish to show off your personality, there are many creative wedding theme ideas to choose from.
