How to Pick a Wedding Theme

Weddings today are becoming more personalized. Brides and grooms often incorporate their own personalities into their wedding to create a memorable event. If you are planning a wedding and want to add your own personal touch to the occasion, or just want to develop a common style to tie all the elements together, the following tips will provide some guidance in how to pick a wedding theme.

Instructions

1. Use your interests and hobbies. You or your future spouse may be animal lovers or Elvis fans. Whatever your passion, take that and develop it into a running theme that unites all the elements of your wedding together.

2. Consider the season. An autumn wedding can be commemorated with fall colors, leaf motifs and even pumpkins and Halloween decorations. Likewise, a winter wedding theme can consist of snowflakes and holiday décor. Fitting your wedding theme to the season makes for a lovely and unique occasion.

3. Think of the location. An outdoor wedding befits a nature theme. A wedding or reception held in an art gallery calls for an artistic theme. Wine lovers may want to marry in a local vineyard and incorporate a wine theme into their wedding. The location of your wedding can help you pick an appropriate wedding theme.

4. Incorporate the theme throughout the wedding. Now that you have chosen a wedding theme that reflects your personality or the nature of the ceremony, you should incorporate that theme into all aspects of your big day. Buy wedding favors that reflect your chosen theme. Consider using your theme in your wedding invitation design and program. You can also buy wedding centerpieces, decorations and flowers representing your wedding theme.
