Themed weddings might appear to involve a tonne of work and hassle, but they can really be a lot of fun for both the couple and the guests. The possibilities are endless – your imagination will have no limits… And, if you have enough time, determination, energy and creativity you’ll be able to organise the wedding of your dreams as easy as counting 1, 2, 3…
The Choice is Yours
Implementing a theme for your wedding is a creative way to add your own spin on the traditions of the ‘norm’ and will allow you to incorporate pieces of your relationship into the celebrations, giving everyone the ideal insight into the love you and your partner share. If your partner is from South Africa, why not integrate some of their customs? Blending two cultures can be a beautiful feat for all to experience when done right.
Try not to go overboard, though. There is a fine line between taste and torture. Going too far with your theme or décor might make it seem more like a birthday party rather than a celebration of your love.
So, You’ve Picked a Theme. Now What?
We cannot stress enough how essential it is to research your theme. You’ll no doubt want to show authenticity in your theme which means no slipping up. When you’ve got a good grasp of your material, the rest will come naturally. Educate your groomsmen and bridesmaids, and any other members of your wedding party.
Now, research doesn’t have to be boring. Don’t stress yourself out getting lost on Wikipedia for hours on end into the depths of every night. Thinking medieval? Plan a movie night with your loved one – 2017 gave the world Charlie Hunnam as King Arthur. Get Hitched & chill, anyone?
Plan, Plan, Plan!
Read: lists. Don’t surround yourself with a Rapunzel wig of lists, but it is always a good idea to jot things down so you don’t forget. Putting pen to paper is a great way to get the creative juices flowing.
Themed weddings take special care, everything needs to work in cohesion if you want to make sure you and your guests have fun all throughout the day. Every single unique piece of work you add to your wedding theme will depend on how far down you can dig into your ideas.
Make it Your Own
The idea behind a themed wedding is to add a layer of uniqueness to your special day and leave a lasting memory for all present. It’s a personal statement that brings to mind a flair exclusive to the love between yourself and your partner.
Whatever you choose to do to bring your vision to life, make sure to always keep yourselves in mind. A successful themed wedding will fit and compliment the style of both spouses and still maintain an element of surprise for the guests. Incorporating your own ideas into your wedding ceremony and reception is essential to planning any themed wedding.
