When many people think about a wedding day theme, they tend to consider higher-end weddings that people like the Kardashians would throw. However, you can have a wedding day with a theme that doesn’t require you to spend a fortune. It can be tricky to choose the right theme that will make your wedding day memorable and feel special, so if you are in a pickle about where to start with picking the perfect vibe, here are some tips to help you.
Look At the Venue
Have you and your partner chosen the venue yet? The wedding venues that stand out the most to you will likely give you a feel for the kind of wedding theme that you will want. If you’re going for a venue that is more traditional, such as a country home, a hotel in the countryside, or even a town hall with some history to it, chances are you want to go for a theme that is more classical, so opt for the more traditional wedding dress, cake, and so on.
Consider Your Personalities
Of course, you will also want to consider your personality and your partner’s personality. Would it suit the pair of you to have a wedding that has a vanilla wedding cake with an ivory wedding dress? Discuss what you both want to add to the wedding relating to your life together, how you met, and so on, as this will make choosing a theme easier.
Think About the Season
Are you getting married in the spring? Or are you going for a winter wedding? The season when you tie the knot can have a drastic impact on the theme. With a wedding in the summer, you may want a beach or a floral theme. For those getting married around set periods, such as Halloween or even Christmas, you can opt for a more seasonal vibe, depending on whether you want to walk down the aisle wearing black or not.
Colors!
Speaking of black wedding dresses, what are your favorite colors? This can help you choose the perfect theme for your big day. Start by picking three primary colors that you and your partner like, and then build from there. There are apps online that can help you to visualize how different color schemes would work and the different accessories that come in those colors. This can help you narrow down the vibe on the wedding day and can even help you choose color schemes for groomsmen and bridesmaids.
Consider Your Guests
It may seem like a fun idea to have a wedding day based around a movie like Shrek, but how easy is this going to be for your guests to dress for? When you are looking to choose your wedding day theme, the majority of brides and grooms usually go for the classical wedding option of cake, a buffet, and not quite black tie, with some classical songs being played and dancing. Why? Well, it doesn’t demand a lot from the guests, such as needing to undertake a treasure hunt, which, oddly, has been a theme at some modern wedding receptions!
