Anytime I attend a wedding ceremony whether indoor or outdoor, the first thing that I notice is the decor.  Whether winter or spring, the appearance of every wedding is unique and special.  What many people may also notice about a wedding is that couples may have incorporated some sort of theme into their ceremony.  I would like to share with you a few wedding theme ideas which you might find very interesting.

Will You Be Mine- A Valentines Day theme is great for those who have been called a romantic.  From red roses to a heart-shaped cake, Valentines Day is the perfect day for a couple to celebrate their wedding.

Things that Make you say….BOO- A Halloween wedding theme is perfect for those who are into spooks and haunts.  Most of these types of weddings may be done in old mansions or theatres, anything with the gothic look or feel. Costumes are the biggest attraction amongst guests mainly because they are invited to take part in dressing up on the couple’s spooky, hair raising day.

Lights, Camera, Action!- Old Hollywood Glamour wedding theme is used by couples who are fascinated with old-fashioned Hollywood, red carpet and all. Here is an example of this type of wedding:

• Wedding attire: The bride’s choice of gown may be v-neck with satin fabric.  The groom may resemble that of Fred Aistaire.
• Flowers: Roses or lilies are the flowers of choice for this type of wedding.
• Music: To compliment the old-fashioned Hollywood feel, many couples will hire a swing band or incorporate swing music into their ceremony and reception.
• Setting: Old fashioned restaurants, theatres, clubs, or ballrooms are a great place to create this type of setting and theme.

Touch Down!- This type of wedding is great for the sports fanatic at heart.  The wedding could be held at a stadium, golf course etc.  The bride and groom could wear matching sports jerseys over their wedding attire and the cake could be the shape of a football, basketball, etc.  The possibilities are endless for this type of wedding.

Danke Shoen- Las Vegas themed weddings are great for those who are willing to elope to sin city or just create that Las Vegas setting.

And that’s that! I thought it would be fun to research and dig up a few unique wedding theme ideas, ones of which I have personally never been to.  In a later post I will be highlighting seasonal wedding themes.

If you are in need of additional ideas for a wedding theme, favor ideas has a nice selection you may find beneficial for your wedding planning needs.

If you could choose a theme for your wedding, which one would it be and why?  We look forward to hearing from you.
