Wedding themes can be simple, like colour-based themes right through to movie, TV or character themes. The boundaries are only limited to your ideas, imagination and personality. So why choose a theme for your wedding? Here’s my top 8 reasons why…!
Personally, I think most weddings are themed even when it’s not done on purpose – I’m sure you’ve seen a peach and grey wedding somewhere online? And what about a formal black tie wedding? Or maybe the Bride who added a few 1920’s touches throughout the reception? You don’t have to go all out to create a wedding theme and it certainly doesn’t mean you have to create an over the top candy buffet’d coloured affair either, unless of course that’s what you want.
Wedding themes give the entire affair a symmetry that balances the day and enhances your story and your guests experience of your wedding. And here’s why you should theme your wedding with your Wedding Theme Ideas…
The top 8 reasons why!
From a simple colour choice to design styles and more extravagant themes like Steampunk, my top 8 reasons for choosing a theme for your wedding are: (in no particular order)
- It creates a central idea in which to go planning crazy
- It gives you immediate direction so that you can research your wedding idea straight away
- It gives you control over planning the details and stops the “oooh but I love that too” scenario (or is that just me)
- It creates a story; the story of you two!
- You get to show off your personal style
- A wedding theme ties the elements of your wedding together
- Acts as your perfect guide for searching out the details
- It sets you apart and creates a unique experience
And here’s some awesome images from some of my favourites on the blog:

The Alice in Wonderland theme takes the cake! I love whimsical themes on weddings and hopefully when it comes to my big day, I can do a themed wedding too!
I agree as long as it doesn’t become too Disney esque. We have adventurers and explorers as our theme with dinosaurs thrown in
Themed weddings can be great fun. We hire out antique billiards tables to couples wanting a snooker-themed (yes, some do) or a vintage themed wedding reception.
I’m a wedding photographer & a bride & I’m so rockin’ out a wedding theme! I love seeing how unique each couple can make a them. And I gotta say how much I love the Steampunk theme!
Love themed weddings, loved the photography from the Colours wedding theme, beautiful
I think it’s great to have some fun and create something that will live long in the memory. This is definitely the blog to read for the best ideas to!
Great concept and idea! Especially if you had an idol or favorite movie from childhood.
Will make great photography!

Having a theme is fun and def helpful for research. There are so many themes to choose from!
Great tips and some super cute ideas!
My wedding was themed as classic edwardian as i love that era and the clothes and refinement of the people. It did cost a fair bit but you only do it once in a lifetime….i hope!
I agree a theme is very important!! I love seeing different details at weddings so being able to have all your details connect and create a story is awesome. That was a great way to put it!! And as you said having a theme makes it easier to plan and research. Great Blog.
That Alice In Wonderland cake is amazing!
Having a theme definitely keeps the planning in order! Plus it’s so much more fun 😉
Themed weddings are much more fun, especially if people can dress up for it like vintage or black-tie themed. But most importantly, it really helps with wedding planning. There’s just so many ways to go, but focusing on a theme just narrows everything down.

Themed wedding can be fun where you can take your guests a dress code and they can dress up for it. Super lovely ideas though.
