Your wedding day is probably one of the most significant events of your life. It’s the day when you’ll be surrounded by people that you love, and the day when you’ll celebrate the love that you and your partner have for each other. That is why every aspect of your wedding should be perfect, down to the smallest detail. One of the best ways to make your wedding unforgettable is to have a magical theme that will transport you and your guests into a fairytale world. Here are some ideas on how to do that.
The Enchanted Forest
An enchanted forest theme is perfect if you love nature and want to bring it into your wedding. The trick here is to create a magical atmosphere. Think about decorating your venue with trees, branches, leaves, and flowers. You can also add fairy lights and lanterns to make it more enchanting. You can even add a fairy tale touch by placing a charming wooden signpost to guide your guests to the different areas of your event.
As for your wedding dress, you can opt for a flowy dress that has an earthy element in the details, like a floral crown or a lace shawl. For your bridesmaids, consider earth tone dresses with flower crowns or hairpieces. The men in the wedding party can wear rustic suits or outdoor wear. You can add some extra touches to the theme by asking your guests to dress in forest-inspired attire.
Serve an organic menu with farm-to-table dishes and local wine. You can also offer woodland-inspired cocktails, such as a spiked cider, and forest berry mojitos.
The Fairytale Castle
If you’ve always dreamt of a Disney-like fairytale wedding, then a fairytale castle theme is the way to go. This theme is all about glamour and sophistication, with a dose of magic. You can choose a venue that looks like a castle or decorate your wedding venue with regal decorations, such as gold and silver accents.
As for your wedding dress and the bridal party, think about Cinderella’s ballgown or Belle’s yellow dress – a dress that makes you feel like a princess. The bridesmaids can wear dresses in shades of pastel or gold with a bit of sparkle. For the gents, a tuxedo or a suit is the way to go.
For the menu, you can have an elegant menu with silver-served entrées, signature cocktails and a champagne fountain. A wedding cake that resembles a castle would be perfect too.
The Mermaid Lagoon
If you love the ocean and all its magic, then a mermaid lagoon theme is for you. You can set up a ceremony near the beach or on a boat. For the decorations, think about seashells, starfish, and blue flowers. You can create an oceanic feel by using blue and green lighting, or even have a blue underwater-style effect.
For the bridal party, think about flowy dresses and gowns in shades of blue and green. Statement headpieces made of shells are perfect for the bridesmaids. The groom and his groomsmen can wear light colored suits with a touch of beachy patterns.
For your menu, you can incorporate plenty of fresh seafood like lobster, shrimp, and sushi. Signature drinks such as Blue Lagoons or a mermaid tail cocktail would add to the enchantment.
The Secret Garden
A secret garden wedding theme is perfect for an outdoor wedding, and it’s all about creating a romantic and whimsical feel. Think about hanging fairy lights and little lanterns amidst the greenery. A trickling water fountain would add to the tranquility of the venue.
For the bride’s dress, think about a dress with a delicate floral pattern. The bridesmaids can wear light-colored dresses with flower crowns. For the groom and his groomsmen, they can wear a light linen suit in shades of beige, gray, or light blue.
For the menu, you can incorporate fresh veggies and fruits grown in your local garden. Herbal Teas and fresh juices add to the luscious greens.
Summary
Your wedding day is one of the most important days in your life. Choosing the right theme can make the day even more magical. Whether it’s a fairy tale castle or an enchanted forest, you can make your big day look like a scene from your dream. An important thing to keep in mind is to make the theme authentic and not overdone. Stick to the details that make it enchanting and magical without crossing over into childishness.
No matter what theme you choose, always remember that it’s your day, and it should reflect the love that you and your partner share.
