How do I choose my wedding theme?

There are just a few simple concepts to keep in mind: It should be easily recognized by your guests. If it’s too obscure and your guests have to ask what the theme is, you’ve missed the mark. It should be personal. Your guests should walk into your event thinking “This is SO (your name)”. It should stand out. Even if you’re so in love with Harry Potter, if it’s the 5th HP themed wedding your guests attend this Spring it may not get the full appreciation it deserves. Add some personalized details to make it more unique.

Does my wedding need a theme?

A wedding theme gives you somewhere to start; also it helps you to make decisions on wedding decor and colors. You need a theme to keep the look uniform, or you risk turning your celebration into a chaos of different colors and decor elements. Also, if you’re considering some decor ideas or going DIY, you always can ask yourself: “is it something that actually fits with my wedding theme?” It can be a good filter when you don’t know what to choose.
