Something every newly engaged couple wonders: How do we choose our wedding theme as we start planning the big day

Getting engaged is a beautiful moment, and soon after the big “Yes,” you might start thinking, “What should our wedding look like?” That’s where the wedding theme comes in. Your theme helps everything feel connected—from your invites and outfits to the decorations and colours.
Not sure where to begin? These tips can help:
How Do We Choose Our Wedding Theme? Start by Talking About What Matters Most to You
Think about what really means something to both of you. Is it keeping things simple, having fun, or showing your culture? Choosing a theme that reflects your values, makes the day feel more personal and true to who you are—not just what’s trending
Look At the Venue
Your venue can help you decide. A beach is perfect for a relaxed or tropical theme. A fancy hotel might fit a classy or elegant style. Don’t try to force a theme that doesn’t match your space—let the place help guide your ideas.
Make It Personal
Think about your love story. Did you meet at the beach? Love books or movies? Have a favourite travel memory? You can turn those memories into a wedding theme that feels special and meaningful.

Choosing Your Wedding Theme: Let Colour and Mood Guide You: Before you pick a theme name, think about the colours or mood you both like. Do you imagine something soft and romantic? Or bold and bright? Starting with a feeling makes it easier to choose your decorations, outfits, and even the music.
Once you’ve chosen the mood, matching details like flowers, table settings, and lighting becomes a lot simpler. For example, if you both love calm, earthy tones, you might go with a rustic or boho style. If you love sparkle and glam, a modern elegant theme might be perfect.
