How to choose your wedding theme

Going through all my article titles list, this is probably the first I will discussing about wedding theme, I actually wonder why this happens to be my first wedding theme article, despite all the area if I have touched in wedding planning with my articles.  

Choosing a wedding theme involves considering a few factors. Things like you and your partner’s personalities and tastes, as well as the vibe and mood you want to create for your special day.

Consider the below questions to help you choose a wedding theme that reflects you and your partner’s personalities in the most perfect way.

What is your favourite colour?

Choosing a wedding theme colour will really help you to choose an overall wedding theme.

Think about some of your favourite colours and what styles of weddings they are typically used in. For example, white, gold, silver and black are classic colours that are often used in traditional and luxe weddings.

Similarly, colours like navy blue and silver are often used in elegant contemporary style weddings.

Every primary colour and combination can be reworked and used in various shades, so if you’ve dreamed of a purple-themed wedding but can’t make violet work, you could always opt for a pastel shade of lavender.

When will your wedding take place?

Just as I have say in my past article the wedding season, truly everything as a season, the period you wish to have your wedding should also determined your wedding theme.

What is your dress like?

Many people do this the other way around – they choose a wedding theme and location, then they choose a dress to match. But, if you’re the opposite in this scenario, then use the style of your dress to choose your ultimate wedding theme.

If you’ve picked your dress already, or, you know what style of dress you are looking for, consider the elements and aesthetic of the dress.  Is it delicate and whimsical? (Perfect for a luxury   wedding.) Or is it modern and minimalist, with clean lines and edges? Or, perhaps it’s a full princess ballgown with plenty of lace and embellishment?

Use the style of your dress to guide you when choosing your wedding theme.

Where will your wedding be held?

Think about your venue – and then consider what colours will suit it.

use your wedding venue as a springboard for inspiration. Is it a hall, field, compound wedding? Use the surroundings of your venue to inspire your wedding theme, and consider what natural elements work as a good foundation for your wedding styling.

Create a moodboard

Another great way to hone in what kind of wedding theme you want is by creating a moodboard of images that you like. You can find images on facebook, Instagram  snapchat, twitter  or even the moment  Weddings’  pages.

Once you’ve collated a bunch of images that you like, save them all on your gadget,  Seeing all the images together will help you to decipher what kind of styles and colours you naturally lean towards.
