Why Choose a Themed Wedding?
Why do couples choose a themed wedding? Themed weddings are a great way to spice up a traditional wedding event. However, suppose you have a more distinctive personality and like to get “outside of the box” with your ideas. In that case, a themed wedding may be an excellent fit for your big life event!
A themed wedding gives you the chance to show your family and friends you like to be unique! The theme you choose shows that you like to walk a different path in life - you’re creative and fun! You like to create something different than everyone else, and you enjoy inspiring others to create new and exciting ideas! And, you want to create unforgettable memories, especially with photos. The photos you get from your wedding will create memories, so choosing something artistic will make your photos much more epic and allow you to show and tell others about your fantastic wedding.
How to Create Your Themed Wedding
When creating your themed wedding, make sure to use decor that is personal to you and your style. Is there something in your personal decor that you love and is weird? Then, create a theme surrounding that concept. A wedding is a time to embrace yourself and what you and your significant other love about life.
Popular Themes for Weddings
Some of the most popular wedding themes couples have embraced and planned their wedding are Halloween, Pirates, Steampunk, Renaissance, Viking, and Fairy weddings. You can choose to personalize your theme with color schemes, a theme within a theme, or choose a storybook or movie character to base your theme around for your wedding.
Considerations When Choosing Your Wedding Theme
When choosing a theme, make sure to pick a wedding theme that speaks to your personality and preferences. Then, think about how you can incorporate your theme into your wedding dress, decorations, invitations, and every aspect of your wedding. You can also mix and match traditional parts of a wedding you love with themed wedding aspects and components.
For example, you may want an astronomy-themed wedding and have your wedding party dress up in space uniforms, with each one of your attendants having a different rank or designation. Your wedding cake can be astronomy-themed, as well as the drinks they serve at your wedding. You and your soon-to-be spouse can also create a fun way to have your “crew” enter the wedding venue for your wedding celebration once you’ve been betrothed. At the same time, you may want a traditional bouquet or first dance. It’s up to you how much and what elements of your wedding you want to be included in the theme and if you want traditional aspects of your wedding as well.
Movie Themed Weddings
Clients have also chosen popular movies as the theme for their wedding, including Star Wars, Star Trek, Tim Burton’s a Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride, Edward Scissorhands, Alice in Wonderland, and Captain America, Spiderman, Batman, and other pop culture movies both modern and classic. While choosing a movie or series theme is a fun way to plan your wedding theme, you don’t have to choose a specific movie theme; you can go with a more generic theme listed above and still have many fun elements and activities that liven up and make your extraordinary day point to your personality and style.
