Your Wedding Themes & Style: Wedding Theme Ideas That Inspire
One of the earliest and most important wedding planning tasks is thinking of creative wedding themes that inspire you. Your theme is important -- it will set the style and tone for the wedding, as well as budget expectations.
Your decision will also determine what type of venue you need to secure, the appropriate wedding attire, the wedding reception food -- everything falls in place once this is determined.
The theme is your vision for your wedding day.
You don’t want to dress like a pirate’s wench? No worries! Theme ideas for Weddings do not have to be complicated or require costumes.
It can be as simple as a color and a design element – like the color blue and the design element of birds, or green and brown and a monogram design.
You can build a theme around a specific flower or greenery like ferns and ivy.
Or an activity you and your fiance both love, like travel.
Your theme can even be a mood -- romantic, joyous, languid (think lazy summer days by the lake). Or the season you’re getting married in -- spring, summer, fall or winter.
One bride I know chose a travel theme, her invitations looked like plane tickets, the ceremony program resembled a passport and the wedding cake looked like a stack of vintage leather suitcases.
The cake vendor even put 'stickers' on the cake for every country the bride and groom had visited. It was a wonderful personal touch that everyone appreciated.

If a location, product, or service does not fit your theme, then you won’t have to spend a moment considering it. The fewer decisions you have to make, the easier and less stressful the wedding planning will be.
