Taking part in a wedding ceremony is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, which makes us aspire to host a great event on such a day.
Because of that, we can say one of the things couples dream about the most is to celebrate marriage by throwing a luxury wedding. And what can be better than achieving it with a wedding theme that perfectly suits the couple?!
Crystal furniture, chandeliers, high-end candlesticks, towering six-tier cakes, and, for those romantic partners, a princess dress for the bride –why not?
We think about these elements right away, but are they the only features of a luxury wedding? Moreover, what themes are there to embody and build the event?
Wedding Themes
Wedding ceremonies are held to make dreams come true. In this sense, it is even logical to set a theme according to the couple’s personality to give the event real life and importance.
Is the couple romantic and lovers of love stories and dream of having a fairytale landscape for the ceremony? Or would a classical event be more appealing by bringing back some vintage aspects to the great day?
Anyways, we’re going to view some of the most popular themes to design a luxury wedding so couples can reflect and decide on which concept they will plan the day of their dreams.
Traditional
Inevitably, traditional events call out to the past: large tables, fancy furniture drafted to last forever that grandparents would never allow their children to touch for anything in this world, well mannered and elegant people dressed up with top-class clothing. These are some elements that represent the traditional theme.
Dark walls, furniture in wood tones, old paintings, and classical music: these are also indispensable details for setting up a traditional wedding.
Rustic
We can easily relate it with the traditional theme since both refer to the past. On the other hand, a rustic event works either as a central feature to compose the scenery or a subcategory for the whole matter.
Durable furniture and dark tones are also part of this style. However, a rustic event brings up simple, crude, and dark places if they are not supposed to drag peoples’ attention, but quite enlighted, artistic and luxurious on the strategic spots.
Besides that, pedestals, paintings, and handicrafts compose the place very well. We can think of rustic style as well as a design style related to a farmhouse lifestyle. That means it suits well to add fireplaces, carved furniture, and botanical art in the setting.
Romantic
Love, dream, and drama are a tripartite must of the romantic theme, and it’s the top #1 favorite of most couples that host luxury events.
From romantic and personalized invitations to genuine fairytale ressembling wedding venues, every detail must embrace the concept.
A hallway where the path guides through a garden full of loving flowers and a wedding cake topped by several gum paste flowers and floral glace details… These details are core!
Also, the scenery must be replete with several shades of pink and red ornaments and classical songs to fulfill the place.
Outdoors
Many say that wedding ceremonies must be held indoors to be considered luxurious. However, the truth is there is an entire design concept to create luxury outdoor events.
Natural gardens, corridors shaped to resemble magic, and enchanted paths like cinematographic weddings into the woods evoke a feeling of harmony. These are the main characteristics of outdoor weddings.
An outdoor wedding is suitable for those hosting events in warm seasons who intend to enjoy the environment and incorporate it as part of the ceremony. A beautiful sunset with a strategically placed altar, for instance, can make the photography eternally memorable, even for the guests.
Vintage
Which period do you want to bring back to life? You can choose any era!
Vintage weddings are completely receptive to new ideas and possibilities. Besides, the vintage theme has the potential to make a luxurious event either high-class, engaging, and truly funny for the guests. The couple just needs to find proper guests who share the same passions and agree to truly participate in the event.
Grab the opportunity to hold a cinematographic event: Make the scenery excel with furniture and vesture that dives into the period. Then, to make the couple’s arrival eternally remarkable, it’s imperative to draw the attention to yourselves with a memorable moment: reach the venue in a retro car, suits with top hats, or any mandatory item of the chosen period of your marriage theme. The vintage style also allows you to incorporate several elements from different periods and concepts, making it the greatest choice for those who want to revive memories.
Boho Chic
Looking for an alternative event, with a mix of styles and just a bit of a vintage feeling, but not that old? So boho-chic is a treasure trove!
Based on the European Bohemian style, it’s been getting contemporary renovations from time to time, and it’s back to the scene. Not only to wedding ceremonies, but it’s also a trend that is reaching every event area with its concept: interior design, fashion, filmography, etc.
Wooden ornaments are mandatory to compose the scenery, surfaces organized in a disorderly and non-standard way, an artistic wild and daring, but very delicate feeling. Here comes a tremendous boho-chic concept.
As an alternative theme, the event can take place outdoors without worrying. Finally, add a wooden marquee to the outdoor venue and make it even flashy and cozy to the guests.
Tropical
For those who love the sea and warm weather, the tropical style is quite appealing. Perhaps the least luxurious event possible in terms of decoration among the other options mentioned, but still able to bring a lot of glamour and happiness to both couple and guests.
A tropical event brings beachy vibes and makes guests feel like their vacation has arrived. Then, it’s not very hard, but if you want to make it remarkable, provide paradisiacal landscapes in your event and enjoy them together with your guests.
In tropical events, nature can compose the scenery, which means finding a proper place is even more necessary than other themes. You must find a wonderful place and make it the best place in the world to get married.
Tropical snacks, such as seafood, cannot be missed out on. For drinks, coconut water and fruit cocktails are great choices.
Finally, the event does not necessarily need to occur on the beach or by the sea to be considered tropical for real. You just need to make the wedding venue have a tropical concept, with lots of beach foliage and decoration and host the event in a windy and warm place with a coastal feel.
How to Throw a Luxury Wedding with a Special Wedding Theme
Start planning months in advance to ensure your wedding event is thrown flawlessly.
A professional event planner is priceless when planning a big event since you need to know countless locations, make contact, and form partnerships with companies that will offer top-quality services at reasonable prices. However, it doesn’t mean it’s enough just to get in touch and wait for your event to happen neatly. In fact, both individuals in the couple must provide a clear briefing with their preferences and make a consultation to reach consensus and put collaborative planning into practice.
Now that you know some of the most popular themes to explore in your wedding ceremony, you have to decide: which one is your favorite? What are your expectations for the day?
