How to Choose theme in wedding?

Picking out wedding themes can be one of the hardest planning pieces that every bride's faced with. Do you want to go the romantic route, or keep things fresh and modern? Once you pinpoint the theme of your dreams, you can officially move forward with the rest of your wedding plans. But, if you're still on the fence about which direction you want to go, we rounded up the best wedding themes for any style and venue, no matter how unique. Use this as a comparative guide to finally cross this major decision off your planning checklist and set the tone for your big day.

1. Romantic

Soft hues, delicate lighting, and plenty of florals typically make up a romantic wedding. For this theme, envision pastels, hanging lights (even chandeliers), calligraphy, and a flower wall.

2. Alternative

More of an offbeat bride who's never been one to take the normal route? We get you. Buck tradition with an alternative wedding theme, and roll with it however you see fit. If cool, moody color palettes and creative stand-ins match your style better than bright flora and been-there-done-that wedding decor, then an alternative theme has your name written all over it. Push the boundaries as much as you want.

3. Vintage

Draw inspiration from decades past if you want a vintage style for your wedding—and one of the easiest ways to channel this is through your wedding outfit and beauty look. As for the ceremony and reception, you can rely on antique-looking decor, like weathered doors and worn-in wood seats, to further exemplify a vintage-inspired wedding. For your last hoorah, finish off the vintage theme driving away in a classic getaway car, like an old Porsche or Volkswagen.

4. Whimsical

For the whimsical couple, your wedding will be one of bright splashes of color and quirky, bohemian components. Incorporate design elements like multicolored balloons, streamers, punchy floral arrangements, and mismatched chairs if you and your future groom want to plan a whimsical wedding.

5. Modern

For a modern wedding, think clean lines, geometric shapes, and minimal design. A modern theme knows few bounds, so channel it however you see fit. Put a modern spin on anything from your wedding dress (take a break from white) to your venue decorations, like sleek seats, a cool structural backdrop, or a bold color scheme. We also asked top wedding planners their 2018 trend predictions, so stay up to date with their ideas, like greenery and cream balloons.

6. Garden Party/Casual

If you envision a more intimate, casual ceremony, opt for an outdoor garden party-themed wedding. This laid-back style is perfect if you have a backyard wedding on the brain and a spring or summer date.

7. Formal/Traditional

Considering a black tie-scale wedding? If you envision you and your guests dressing to the nines, your overall theme will have to match accordingly. For nuptials this grandiose, you'll want to pull out all the stops and include complete table settings (wine glasses and all) with a full sit-down dinner, posh seating, ornate flower arrangements (even on the cake!), and an exquisite head table, just to name a few formalities.

8. Eco-Friendly/Natural

Just because you want to be mindful of the environment (as we all should be) in your wedding doesn't mean you have to skimp out on the little things. You can use biodegradable confetti as an alternative to rice for your grand exit, opt for plants instead of flowers as table decor, and many invitations can now be printed on recycled paper. If weather allows, choose an outdoor venue to cut back on energy from lighting.

9. Music

March to the beat of your own drum at your wedding if music makes yours and your future spouse's world go round. Whether you're members of the music industry or just love a good tune from any genre, incorporate your passion through instrument motif decorations, a vintage mic stand, and plenty of your favorite songs interspersed throughout the ceremony and reception. And, this should be a given, but enlist the help of your favorite local bandto keep the rhythm alive.
