There are many options to choose from nowadays and finalizing a wedding theme can feel a bit mind-boggling. Are you loving the ever-so-popular Rustic or Boho-chic styles or would you rather a minimalist, more sophisticated approach?

.

There’s a vast range of styles including romantic weddings, vintage-inspired weddings, beach weddings, whimsical weddings, garden-party weddings, barn weddings, and more.

Once you have decided on a theme, the rest should fall easier into place.

Now that you’ve set the tone for your big day, you’ll need to start incorporating other pieces… looking at venues, bridal gowns, colour schemes, favours, centrepiece ideas, a wedding cake, décor options, and a photographer that fits your personal style.

.

Remember to showcase yourselves in your theme even if that means thinking outside of the box. Let your theme reflect YOUR love story!

.

Here are 9 inspirational styles…

.

1. Glamour

A luxurious vibe including oversized blooms, grand venues with ornate features such as Historic Estates, Grand Ballrooms, and Museums, massive tiered cakes, lots of crystal and sparkle, and bold hues.

2. Rustic

Wood signage, string lights, old tin accents, burlap, lace, mason jars, mirrors, hydrangea and baby’s breath, long harvest tables with greenery, and barn or winery venues.

Destination weddings, starfish and sea shells, tropical florals, soft blue & neutral hues, light and flowy dresses, no shoes, sunrise or sunset ceremonies, white arbours, and driftwood integrated in the centrepieces.

8. Alternative

Romantic Goth is mysterious yet sophisticated style.  Sounds a bit dark but when this look is pulled together, it’s magical.  Brilliant black tapers held by vintage gold holders, deep purple and red accents, non-traditional wedding gown with colour, black lace and tulle, and countless candles and lanterns.
