Find Your Dream Wedding Theme
Wedding season is coming up and we’ve got wedding fever! However, as much as we love a good wedding, we know that planning a wedding can be testing, mainly for your organisational skills. Fear not, usually weddings can take a while to come around from engagement to the big day, due to in-demand services within the wedding industry getting snapped up quickly, which means you have time to prepare!
When it comes down to it, planning a wedding can seem like an overwhelming and somewhat daunting task. Our advice? Start with a theme. If you’re worrying about how to plan a wedding then starting with a theme will help you understand what tone you would like to set for your day and narrow down your decision-making requirements. If it’s not on theme then you don’t need to know! “Choosing a theme is easier said than done,” you say, well, don’t worry because we’ve rounded up our top five wedding themes to help you decide. We’re going to show you our themes and what makes them special, the modern wedding venues they would look great in, the complimentary season and the stand-out pieces from our collections. Buckle up brides and grooms, you’re about to be spoilt for choice.
A Touch of Pampas
The pampas grass wedding trend is popular for a reason and that reason is it simply looks stunning. The tufted grasses add instant texture to any bouquet, backdrop or table setting. More commonly associated with boho-style weddings, we’ve also seen pampas grass appear in modern, minimalist and urban weddings, so it’s safe to say it’s a common favourite in the wedding sphere.
So, what’s so special about pampas grass? The beauty of incorporating it into your wedding is that it’s so versatile that despite being used again and again, it can still be completely unique! You can create pampas clouds to hang above tables, mark out your aisle with it, use it in your flower arrangements or create large statement structures with it, the list is endless. We love that pampas grass isn’t overbearing, thanks to its neutral colour, which is perfect for a neutral and toned-down wedding colour palette, or alternatively makes the perfect accompaniment for some beautiful colour blocking.
For the where we’re thinking a vineyard. Surprisingly, there are over 700 vineyards on the British Isles and a fair few of these are licensed for weddings (you’re welcome). Pampas grass is perfect for marrying together the indoors with the outdoors, being a property of the outdoors which happens to also look great inside. This works beautifully within a vineyard as you can decorate your indoor and outdoor space with a consistency that will have a stunning effect on the day. Pampas grass with its wispy, wheaty appearance is reflective of hazy summer days that stretch into long nights, and so our season for pampas has to be summer.
With our Touch of Pampas wedding collection, our hero pieces include various faux pampas grass packs, including the bleached wheat pampas pictured above. We also love these rose gold metal hoops and place cards, which tie in your place settings perfectly to your pampas themes, along with the macrame table runner. Add a gorgeous backdrop to your party with the blush pink leaf ribbon backdrop, alternatively, this gorgeous piece acts as a wedding arch.
Golden Goodness
A touch of gold within a wedding theme is undeniably timeless. Whilst some think of glitz and glamour when they think of gold, others think of subdued and neutral, but really a gold theme can be whatever you wish to make of it. Gold and white or ivory go beautifully together and provide you with an elevated elegance for your big day.
So, why should you choose gold for your wedding theme? We love a gold theme as it’s really versatile. You can incorporate gold anywhere you like, be it the bouquets, the dresses or suit details, the invitations, the decorations and of course, the table decor.
Not only can gold dazzle on its own, but it can also complement almost any shade. The last thing you need is your bridesmaids clashing with your decorations! We love how gold decor can be sparkly and bright, like a gold foil backdrop, or it can add a subtle detailing you didn’t need until now, like gold writing on your place cards.
The modern wedding venue we love for our gold wedding theme is a skyscraper or rooftop garden, think the Gherkin in London, the Doubletree in Edinburgh or the Mercure Liverpool Atlantic Tower Hotel!
Gold is gorgeous and it feels even more special from a height where it can the sunlight. Golden hour in the city with golden decorations? Yes, please! Imagine that sparkle at your glitzy urban wedding. The season we’ve chosen for our gold wedding theme is Autumn because you’ve got the best golden hour, golden leaves and golden skies (weather permitting, of course!).
Our hero pieces from our Gold Wedding range come in the form of our transparent gold table numbers, which we love for their simple elegance. These table numbers are a beautiful addition to your tables and thanks to their transparency, they don’t take attention away from your centrepieces. We also love this gold “love is in the air” letter banner, especially when the “love is in the air” giant balloons are in the same scheme. Finish your day off with these cute gold thank you boxes, placing these on your guest’s table setting with a small wedding favour inside will make your guests feel extra special.
Rustic Chic
The rustic wedding theme has been around for a while now, but it’s not going anywhere and we can see why! The gorgeous homely feel of a rustic wedding allows the space for the happy couple to add their own stamp to the theme. When we think of a rustic wedding theme, usually a barn with hay bales comes to mind, however, there is so much more to the rustic theme than you may think.
What’s all the fuss about then? From semi-nude wedding cakes on logs and rustic wedding bouquets to fairy lights and hessian details, we love it all. There is so much scope for a rustic wedding, just because you go rustic also doesn’t mean you have to tie the knot outside. The modern rustic look isn’t all about the barn venue, if executed well, you can bring the rustic everywhere you go. There is a homegrown feel to a rustic wedding and adding special touches like a chill-out area with comfy cushions or deck chairs, or handpainted hoopla bottles for guests to play with will take your rustic theme that extra mile.
To be in the spirit of all things rustic and go against the grain, we decided on a Victorian swimming bath for our rustic venue. This kind of venue growing in popularity across the UK and is perfect for a more quirky event for couples who are looking for something different. We chose the rustic theme for this venue because it can bring warmth to a vast and traditionally colder space. The outdoorsy vibe will bring out a whole new side to an indoor venue. The rustic theme alongside homemade crafty items will bring bags of charm to your big day. Again, we chose Autumn for this season, the cosy and homely feel with still an outside element took us straight to this gorgeous season.
Our hero pieces from our Rustic Country wedding range include our wedding alphabet and numbers stencil kit, this kit lends itself perfectly to the crafty feel we all want for our rustic wedding, simply add to signage, decorations and even homemade wedding games. The rustic floral bunting is exactly what a rustic theme needs, it's the perfect balance of kitsch and cute for your wedding decor. We mentioned above that hessian is key to creating a rustic vibe, so these bride and groom hessian chair signs are the perfect nod to rustic-core. Our final hero piece will make you the real heroes post-wedding, these hangover recovery kit bags will put the favour in wedding favour, just add paracetamol, sugary treats, mints and whatever else your guests will need the next day!
Cool Contemporary
Not all weddings have to be flowers and frills, if you consider yourselves a more modern, minimalist couple then a contemporary wedding theme might be the one for you. This theme is all about clean lines, monochrome, geometrics, minimalism and a splash of greenery. However, these are just buzzwords, you can take your contemporary theme to whatever heights suit you for your big day.
So, what got the contemporary wedding theme into our top five you ask? Well, this theme really speaks to the current world around us, whether it’s a cool Instagram moment or the chic style of modern interior design. Your wedding day needs to feel like you and your partner, so don’t feel like you need to jump on the bandwagon of wedding traditions.
We love the clean lines of this theme with its clear monochromatic colour scheme. From the metal geometric hanging shapes to the clean and white drink and treat stands, everything in this range is thought out with the events of a wedding day in mind.
For our contemporary wedding venue, we chose a cocktail bar and/or restaurant. This solution is perfect for a modern wedding, firstly it’s already set up for guest seating and food and drink options and secondly, it will tie together the effortlessly cool vibe of your day. The beauty of this theme, along with our contemporary wedding range, is that it fits well with its surroundings. We suggest working with your venue and coming up with an original cocktail and/or mocktail for your guests to enjoy on the day. Display these on tables near the entrance so your guests can help themselves on their way in. We opted for the winter season for our contemporary wedding theme, although often associated with summer, bright whites and black lines can be warmed up with cosy accents like these lightbulb string lights!
Our hero pieces from our Contemporary wedding range include the simple yet statement white metal frame sign stand, which is the perfect way to welcome your guests to your gorgeous wedding. We also love the black metal geometric hanging shapes, the lightbulb strong lights and our monochrome place settings.
Botanical Beauty
If you’re wanting to your big day to be in full bloom, then a botanical wedding theme is the perfect match for you! This theme is really versatile in terms of wedding decor and accessories, from big and bold statements that call on lush plants and bright blooms to little flourishes of florals and foliage, the botanical wedding theme is a solid favourite for many.
Why are botanical wedding themes so popular? It could all come down to the fact that beauty is undeniably found in nature and adding that into the mix of a beautiful day amongst family and friends celebrating love is really something special. At the core of a botanical theme is a green/green and white colour palette, often with complimentary shades woven in. whether you focus on fresh flowers and plants, botanical designs on your signs or faux foliage hanging from the walls and ceilings, adding those key green hues is the best way to achieve a botanical look for your wedding day. This wedding theme is perfect for many couples because it can be both minimalist and maximalist, it’s really the dealer’s choice!
For our dream wedding venue with our botanical theme, we opted for a converted mill. Despite this theme leaning very much toward nature, we love the idea of nature and softness overflowing within an industrial setting. The large windows in these popular UK wedding venues are perfect for letting in floods of natural light and shining a spotlight on your gorgeous botanicals. Faux green plant walls and artificial foliage garlands spread across your tables will elevate your wedding with a gorgeously soft modern touch. We chose spring for this wedding theme, for obvious reasons! Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking.
The hero pieces we’re lusting over from our Botanical wedding range include our white metal table clamp, which is perfect for hanging your botanical foliage from and creating a new perspective to table flowers. Another new perspective comes in the form of these gorgeous botanical balloon orb kits, botanicals and balloons really are the dream team. We also can’t get enough of the secret garden hanging wooden frame, when this is hanging flowers and foliage above the top table and guests it creates a cosy and romantic feel and transports guests to dreamy destinations - Italy, California… it’s your fantasy! Pull it all together with our cute LOVE grazing board, may we suggest adding botanicals around the edges of your board for added effect?
