So you’re engaged – congrats girl! Planning a wedding is really fun, but also stressful at times. There are so many decisions to be made, vendors to book, + it can get overwhelming fast. One of the first things to consider is the theme of your wedding. Having a theme will create a guide for other choices you will have to make such as venue, decor, wedding colors, + your dream dress. That will help to narrow down your endless options + create a fun look that’s uniquely you!
Deciding on a theme, however, is easier said than done. With unlimited options it can be tricky figuring out which to choose. Let us give you our list of top 5 points to consider when choosing your perfect wedding theme. Sit back + relax because Leilani Weddings has your back!
1) Is there something you have your heart set on?
Chances are, you have already given this some thought. If you have your eyes set on a particular style of dress or have even purchased one, you’ll want to base your theme off the dress. Perhaps there is a venue you have attended other weddings + have fallen in love. Don’t compromise your theme if you already have part of the concept nailed down.
2) What does the venue contribute?
The venue is a crucial part when deciding a theme from the building itself to the surrounding around the property. The building itself can give off certain vibes and moods. You want one that will complement the theme + easily fit in. Do you want one that has an outdoor space in addition to the indoor one? What material is the venue made of? Keep our next point in mind when looking at venues!
3) How does your budget fit in?
Consult your wedding budget to use as a guide when selecting most aspects of your wedding. Your venue will probably be a considerable chunk of your budget. Additionally, there are some themes that will cost more such as a grand ballroom reception vs. an elegant beach reception where the location itself contributes to the decor.
4) What season will you get married in?
Seasonality is so important because it can have an impact on what types of florals are available + what colors match with the season. Certain themes can also use a specific season to really emphasize it. If you love the idea of a garden theme with lots of lush greenery, winter might not be the best season if you usually get snow.
5) Does your color scheme speak to a specific theme?
Do you have a specific set of colors that you’re in love with? Maybe you don’t yet + that’s ok! Not being set in this choice gives you unlimited options to find a color palette that connects with your theme. If you have colors chosen, find a theme the colors will complement. Softer tones give off more romantic feelings while brighter + bolder ones give off playful ones.
At the end of the day, the most important factor is that it’s you + your loved one’s special day! Having a theme is a great way to marry the passions and things you both love most in life. We hope this list inspired you to get creative and think about what theme would work best for you.
