When it comes to weddings, a theme may help in taking it in the right direction. Themes put all the arrangements, from the decorations to the food- in one box, making it easier to pick and choose. The best thing about a theme wedding is that every item is matching or related to each other which somehow provides a sense of purpose to the whole celebration. It also makes the wedding unique and memorable but make sure to keep it realistic. Also the theme must be decided mutually keeping in mind the taste and preferences of both the bride and the groom.
So to make it a bit easier for you I have compiled some tried and tested themes that are not only sensible but also gratifying!
Vintage
Talking about vintage you can literally pick any era belonging to any culture. For instance, consider the bollywood retro period. In this theme a combination of black and gold would look good for the decoration. Don’t forget to add tons of feathers here and there. Another trending theme is inspired by the Victorian Era. The decorations can include pastel colored props and light pink or white flowers.
Here you can also have a dress code for your guests as a Victorian era dresses with net hats and gloves look very elegant. But if you want a proper Indian wedding you can pick any royal culture such as the rajwada theme, mughal or the Maratha theme. For such things you may have to splurge a bit but it will all be worth it in the end.
Environment- friendly
Many couples nowadays, have become conscious of the excessive waste caused due to weddings. Not to mention, the financial struggle they go through while planning the wedding. Hence, an eco-friendly wedding is the right solution as it is cheap, creative and also good for the environment.
A nature- friendly wedding also helps local vendors or businesses to grow so try to buy flowers from local flower dealers of flower growers. This will give impetus to the declining floriculture industry . Use recycled paper for invitation cards or make e-vites that are easily transferred. You can use a free location like a garden or a park as your wedding venue but do not litter or damage the place by any means. Also keep the wedding a day affair in order to save electricity that is used unnecessarily at a night time function.
Rustic
For this type of theme you really don’t have to put a lot of effort in the decorations. Just find a venue or a building that is made of wood and looks old. Half of the rustic vibe can be achieved by this only. The best part is, nothing is supposed to be perfect here so don’t worry about the details. Add dark colored flowers like the dahlias, wild flowers or hydrangeas– mainly in shades of jade, purple or orange.
Don’t forget to fill the empty places with ferns and leaves. A floral cake set up on a wooden sweet table will compliment the theme best.
Well! A theme wedding may seem daunting but once you know what you want exactly, everything seems to fall in the right place. Themes surely make the wedding interesting and engaging so pick a unique and fun theme for your big day.
