Wedding themes today go beyond just choosing a color scheme. Wedding themes are a great way to incorporate something both of you love into creating a memorable wedding. Choosing a specific theme for your wedding also helps make wedding decisions such as the right decor or venue. Summer is wedding season and choosing the perfect theme for your summer wedding can help ensure you and your guests have the time of your lives. Here are some of this summer’s trending wedding themes:
- Tropical Paradise– A great theme for a summer wedding is to create your own tropical paradise. This is also the perfect theme for a beach location wedding. Incorporate the tropics into your wedding easily by choosing florals with tropical flowers such as hibiscus and orchids. Along with the right florals bring in some tropical greenery to your decor such as palms or monstera leaves. Using a mixture of flowers and plants can also help keep floral costs low. This can create an atmosphere of a true tropical paradise. Cocktail hour is another great way to weave in the tropical paradise theme by serving some beachside themed cocktails such as pina coladas or mojitos.
- Romantic Nights – Romance itself can be a theme for your wedding. A romantic night wedding incorporates elements straight out of fairy tales. Use fairy lights and candles as integral parts of your decor. This will help keep things romantic and dimly lit to create a certain ambiance. This lighting not only creates a romantic atmosphere for you and your guests but also gives your jewelry a time to glow. You might notice under this lighting that your jewelry might emit a certain fluorescence. This is because diamonds actually give off a bluish glow under circumstantial lighting. This diamond fluorescence is often undetectable under daylight and adds another dimension to your diamond’s finish. The romantic nights theme is all about recreating that feeling you get from an intimate date night. This theme truly revolves around creating that soft golden lighting throughout your ceremony and reception.
- Classic Glamour – As wedding trends in the
past concentrated on paired down themes and minimalism, this year the idea of a
classic glamorous wedding is making a comeback. This theme is definitely for
the couple looking to make a grand statement with their nuptials. The classic
ballroom wedding with large floral settings and sparkles everywhere. This
return to classic glamour might mean a bigger budget but it will be all worth
it when you dazzle and impress your guests.
- Vineyard Elegance – Vineyards are getting in on the wedding game. Vineyards are now one of the top wedding venues. Couples are incorporating the simple rustic elegance of a vineyard into their wedding. This often includes serving the wine from the vineyard itself and might include decor that incorporates grapevines. Elegance is the keyword for this theme. Keeping things simple but classic and incorporating your surroundings can help make a vineyard wedding fun and timeless.
- Adventurous Travels – As more and more couples are taking adventurous trips together all over the world, more couples are also incorporating travel into their wedding. Whether it is a destination wedding or you have decided to keep it local, incorporating your love for travel is a popular theme for this year’s weddings. You can center your decor around the many places you and your partner have traveled to. One fun idea is to have a large map printed out with pins that show where the two of you have traveled and pin your photos for all your guests to see your many adventures together. Find vintage globes or use old maps to help decorate your venue.
No matter what your theme for your wedding it is, it is important to remember that your wedding should be about the two of you. Choose a theme that truly embodies the two of you as a couple and most of all enjoy your wedding!
