There are many different themes you can use for your wedding, starting with the traditional church wedding to something less orthodox like, say, a Star Wars themed wedding. Of course, you don’t have to go that far, but having a theme for a wedding certainly makes the wedding more fun, not to mention more memorable, for the couple and their guests. It is also not necessary to celebrate a themed wedding in a luxurious place.

If you want to have a wedding theme, finalize your decision as soon as possible. All the elements that will be used in the wedding, such as the invitations, the decorations, even the food, must go with the theme. So make your decision before you go out to the stores and order these things.

Have your invitations reflect the theme of the wedding so your guests have an idea of ​​what’s to come at the wedding ceremony. Plus, it will also give guests enough time to find outfits, as well as wedding gifts, that work well with the theme.

Likewise, make sure the wedding favors you give away reflect your wedding theme. Your guest will certainly appreciate receiving a token of your wedding that truly reminds them of the fun time they had during the celebration. Too many wedding favors end up lying around or stuffed into a drawer somewhere in the house because they don’t hold much meaning to guests. However, if you take the time to select a memorable token, your guests are more likely to keep them in a special place in the house as a way to remember your special day.

In addition to the wedding invitations and favors, all other aspects of your wedding should showcase the theme as well. The center of most weddings is the bride and her wedding dress. To unify your wedding theme, choose a wedding dress that fits perfectly with the wedding theme. Your wedding reception flower arrangement and menu selection should also be coordinated with the wedding theme for an authentic feel. However, be careful and avoid overdoing your topic. Just the right touch will make your wedding nice and unique, but if you go too far it will just be tacky.

Planning a wedding around a particular theme can definitely be a lot of fun. In fact, it’s pretty easy too. The hardest part is probably the actual selection of the theme because it needs to be something meaningful to both the bride and groom. For example, if you and your groom met in Hawaii or on a tropical island, have a Hawaiian beach luau wedding or a tropical-themed wedding. Do you both love sports? A sports-themed wedding may be the perfect wedding for you. It all depends on what you and your groom like, as well as how you can use the theme at your wedding.

There are themes that sound fun and exciting, but can be very difficult to incorporate into a wedding. If you only put in little snippets that hint at the theme, chances are your guests won’t even notice, defeating the purpose of the whole thing. If you are not sure how to plan a themed wedding, you can always hire a professional planner to help you.
