Unique themes for your wedding

A wedding is the most personal of days. It's an opportunity for two people to showcase their love for each other, their friends and families, and what sets them apart from from other couples. Choosing unique themes for your wedding makes the big day more memorable for both participants and guests alike.

When planning a themed wedding, you must consider not only the theme that suits you as a couple, but how to also turn your dream into a reality. Consider some of these themes to make the celebration fun, festive, and unforgettable, and check out the tips on how to actually bring the dream to life so everyone can relax and enjoy the day. 

School Daze

For the couple who can trace their love back to their days in school, turn the wedding into a celebration of those relationship origins. Chalkboards, school books, and themed wedding furniture like old desks, lockers, and bookshelves will take everyone back to the lazy days of school. Set the table with pencils, apples, letter blocks and old-school exam books for guests to write out special messages to the happy couple. 

World of Wizadry

Transform a wedding into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizadry and transport guests into the magical world Harry Potter for a night to remember. This wedding theme could include a Quidditch match for an outdoor reception, tables dressed up like the four houses of Hogwarts, and a dining experience to replicate feasts in the great hall. Guests can drink mugs of butter beer and send well wishes to the couple via owl.

The Magical Kingdom

Make the wedding day whimsical and fun with a Disney themed wedding. The sky is the limit with this theme. Couples can choose from the classic characters like Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck or embrace some of the newest additions to the Disney family like "Frozen" stars Anna and Elsa. Castles, carriages, and crowns will turn an ordinary reception setting into the happiest place on earth.

Licence to Kill

Martinis, shaken not stirred. Games of Baccarat. Fast cars, tuxedos, and a little cloak and dagger. This wedding is guaranteed to be a showstopper while transporting guests to the opulent world of spies, heroes and super-villians. Turn the reception into a high class casino, perfect for the high rollers in your wedding party. 

Turning the Dream Into Reality

Whether you go with James Bond or Harry Potter, Walt Disney or your primary school, making these unique themes for your wedding a success takes more than dreaming up the idea or looking at photos on Instagram and Pinterest. 

Start by assessing the space you have chosen for your wedding and reception to determine what aspects of the location fit the theme and what specific wedding furniture you may need to add to augment the space. For example, if you want to recreate the great hall in Hogwarts, you will need to bring in long tables and benches for the meal.  

Also consider what activities you plan to make available for your guests. A casino night at a James Bond wedding requires game tables, dealers, and all the accessories like cards, chips, and prizes for your guests. Don't forget the small details as well. Table decorations, candle holders, table assignments, and linens will add punch to each theme when selected correctly.
