How to Choose Your Wedding Theme
Aside from some overall financial and logistical planning, you'll want to choose a wedding theme in the early stages of planning your wedding.
If you already have a location selected, design your theme around its existing character. If you're still open to a variety of venues, you can use your theme to eliminate any venues it wouldn't jive with.
A well designed wedding balances colour, texture, and mood to create an overall theme. That theme extends into every detail from the venue to itineraries, to flower varieties and linen texture, to stationery fonts and tableware. There becomes so many opportunities for personalization with the theme that consistency is absolutely key.
You may find it surprisingly difficult to narrow down a theme you are going to be happy sticking with in the long run. With Pinterest, Instagram, blogs and publications, there is so much inspiration out there to get caught up in and flip flop you from one theme to the next.
So, how do you choose your theme? Make it your own!
Find inspiration from:
Your venue (this is important!)
Favourite colours
Hobbies and interests
Places you love
An era you wish you could travel back (or forward!) in time to
Seasonal surroundings
Your personalities
Your style
Trends in fashion, pop culture and interior design
When you've struck inspiration, take a moment to elaborate on it. Brainstorm the colours, textures, mood, era, objects, and experiences associated with it. Create a new Pinterest board and save items from your list to visualize it all together. Now you have a wedding style to work off of!
