How To Choose Your Wedding Theme
So you decided to go for a theme wedding, a memorable and original ceremony people would talk about years in a row. But how to you choose your theme? Are you going for some romantic ideas to express the love that brought you together, or are you rather going for a modern style, party-like wedding ceremony? Classic or modern, that is the question.
There are a few factors you should consider, for a maximum of effect with minimum of trouble, and for your wedding guests to have a perfect time at your party:
- Time of the year:
- You wouldn’t pick a winter theme during summer, would you? If it’s spring, then try to make a list of spring wedding ideas.
- You wouldn’t like a romantic wedding by the lake in the fall, when wind blows like hell
- You have to make sure that you can find all needed accessories in the season of your wedding (of course you can find strawberries also in winter, but the price would be at least triple, comparatively with summer time)
- Guests age and preferences:
- You are the main character of your wedding, but your happiness will come very likely from your guests’ happiness.
- Beware if you choose a Lego theme for some 50+ years old guests: they might not be so happy with it.
- For your very young friends, an “urban style” theme wedding might be more suitable than a “harvest day at the farm” one. Be sure you find out what most of your guests would like for the party.
- If necessary, you can have a separate party for your friends, and one for your rather old relatives, whom you love but don’t share the same preferences.
- Estimated number of guests
- For a very small number of guests, you wouldn’t want to organize a “princess ball” theme wedding. The ball room may seem too large to make your few guests feel at ease. It would rather look like half of your invitees did not show up.
- Budget
- There was this saying: “no money, not funny, honey!”
- Don’t try to go big if your budget cannot support your glamorous ideas.
- It’s better to have a simple, “zen” style wedding with all proper accessories, than have an almost empty ball room, because you didn’t have enough money for its proper decoration.
These being said, you can sit together, bride and groom, and do a little brainstorimng session: write down all crazy ideas that come to your mind, try to define yourself, to see what things you have in common, to see what is most representative for your couple.
Your wedding ceremony has to express your style, isn’t it?
