Themes & Types
So have you thought about the sort of wedding you would like?
Traditional white weddings are as popular as ever, yet there are
more choices available to the Bride
and Bridegroom
than ever before. Here are a few of the options available to you:
Traditional white weddings:
These feature marriage in a church, followed by a sit down reception
meal and then an evening function.
The religious / cultural ceremony:
These are just a few of the many different religious ceremonies
that can be performed for spiritual couples wanting to marry in
the UK today. Click on the link to find out more.
The Quiet affair:
Why not take the romantic option, and have a quiet ceremony with
just a few close friends and family, or even quieter just have
the two of you, and ask two strangers off the street to be your
witnesses.
The Civil Ceremony:
Invite your guests to an intimate country manor for the weekend
or a few days, and have a lengthier celebration. Or for those
wanting a larger ceremony you can have a civil ceremony, followed
by the traditional sit down meal and then an evening function
for those extra guests invited to join in your celebrations.
The Wedding Abroad:
You may dream of a Vegas style wedding containing loads of fun
elements and fancy dress, for example imagine an Elvis look-a-like
marrying you! Or you may prefer getting married in a hot exotic
location with just a few close friends and relatives.
Historical Themes:
If you both love a certain era of time for example the Victorian
why not base the ideas of your wedding around those designs and
styles. If you have antique family heirlooms for example a great
aunts veil or your grandmother’s jewels think about incorporating
these into your attire. Shakespearean and medieval themes are
also proving extremely popular.
Other Ideas include:
- Seasonal Themes (May Day Weddings, Valentines Themes, Easter
Themes, Midsummer Themes, Winter weddings, and Christmas Themes).
- Celestial Themes.
- Sci-Fi / Fantasy Weddings.
- Sports Themes.
- Movie Themes.
- Themes surrounding your Hobbies and Interests.
It is important to decide your theme early on in your wedding
preparations as it will determine every part of your planning
from the type of venue you have, to the attire you and the bridal
party will wear, to the decorations you choose for your reception.
Make sure you decide as a couple what themes you would like and
then make your plans and arrangements around this.
Weddings-With-Style Tips:
Whatever you choose, your wedding should be unique to you as
a couple. Think about every aspect, from the type of venue, colours,
dress/suit style, and your seating plans. You could even name
the tables at your reception after various things relevant to
your theme. Instead of table numbers these could include places
you've visited together, or movie characters. The list is endless!
