Whether grand or intimate, traditional or contemporary, your choice of wedding style is something you need to be totally happy with, as you will be working hard to make it all happen. A distinct colour theme, or perhaps just a simple motif that is seen in different places can really tie everything together and create a big impact.
Decide upon your wedding theme as early as possible
Deciding on a theme for your wedding early on makes the rest of the wedding planning easier as it will influence lots of the little decisions as well as the big ones.
The wedding theme can be subtle, such as a colour or motif featured in the invitations and repeated through details in the dresses, flowers, place cards, décor etc. Or it can be dramatic, such as a historical theme and encouraging the guests to arrive in period costume. Historical themes can be as simple as choosing a venue from a particular period (e.g. Art Deco) and then using that period to inform your style choices.
Either way, if the wedding theme is taken from something you love, it makes the planning more fun.
