Weddings are a celebration of you, both as a couple and individuals! What better way to stamp your mark on the day than by choosing a unique theme?
We’ve all heard of festival weddings, boho bliss, garden parties and not forgetting our favourite wizard from under the stairs taking centre stage! While these themes can be beautiful, fun, and personal, here are some more unusual wedding themes to inspire you;
Vintage Glamour
Transport your guests back in time with a vintage glamour theme. Think old Hollywood elegance with a touch of modern sophistication. Use antique décor and vintage-inspired attire. Book a swing band, casino or vintage photo booth to create a day your guests will remember for all time!

10 to 10 is Cowboy time!
We’re talking a touch of leather, whiskey cocktails and maybe even a mechanical bull if you really want to test your guests! While you may not want to go whole hog (or cow?) on this theme, a fun sprinkle of cow print, a pair of white cowboy boots, country music and a western vibe will surely be a new one for your guests! Plus, who doesn’t love a good BBQ?
Celestial Dreams
Reach for the stars with a celestial dreams theme. Incorporate elements like stars, moons, and constellations into your décor and ask your Venue dresser to use deep blues, golds, and silvers to create a dreamy and ethereal ambiance. A harpist would really elevate this magical atmosphere and a tarot reader would enchant your guests!

Geeks Galore
If you spend most of your time battling monsters, rolling dice and traveling through time and space, why stop on your wedding day! A celebrant would be able to incorporate any of your favourite geeky elements into your ceremony, while a boardgame extravaganza may suit your guests more than a cheesy disco!
Modern Minimalism
If you prefer a clean and contemporary look, a modern minimalist wedding might be the way to go. This theme lends itself beautifully to sleek stationary such as invitations, table plans, and place settings. Focus on one or two neutral colours and simple yet elegant décor. Less is more with this theme, allowing the beauty of the venue and the couple to shine.

So there you go! If you’ve got this far and are still questioning, “why should I even have a theme?” let me help;
Not only can a theme create a wonderful and unique day for you and your guests, but it can help to streamline your planning and narrow down the endless amount of pinterest inspiration! A theme can focus your creativity and help with decision making as most themes will include specific colours, activities, and music! It’s practical as well as fun!
Happy Planning, Lianne x
