It's a good idea to choose your wedding theme before starting the planning process. It will make your decision making much easier when picking our the gown, making bookings and other wedding decisions.

Having a very memorable wedding theme in mind will also give your guests something much different than a normal everyday wedding which they will remember for a much longer time.  Giving your guests something to really remember will keep your wedding memories alive longer.

We offer you some theme suggestions here but don't stop there. Let your imagination run wild as you put together a wedding that is meaningful to you and enjoyable for your guests. Talk to a reputable Wedding Consultant if you need help with the "how-to’s", the "where-to’s" and the "how-much?"

Food. While selecting a menu that suits your theme, be sensitive to the needs of ALL your guests. There may be racial, age &/or religious considerations.

Location. Be sure to decide if you want to have an indoor or outdoor wedding. Have an estimate of the number of guests you will be having on-hand before booking a site.

Decoration. Get help from family and friends or hire a Professional.

Outfits. Inform your designer of the theme you are having and listen to his/her suggestions. Do remember to wear only something you can be move around comfortably in.

Favours. Something in line with the wedding theme so guests have something to take home with them.

Guests. Choose a theme your guests will be comfortable with. You may not be able to please everyone but be sure to have something appropriate. If your theme involves guest participation, give them ample time to get involved. If not, surprise them!

Wedding Themes

The Fairy Tale

Here is where you can live your Prince Charming & Cinderella fantasy (complete with evil stepmother-in-law!!! *if you have one*)

Food : Serve food that’s fanciful & dreamy. Have each course served amidst dry ice to conjure up the magical feeling.

Location : With the wave of a magic wand & preferably with the help of a professional wedding decorator, any function room can be transformed into your palace.

Decor : Think ice carvings. Get a professional decorator wedding to create the image of being in the enchanted kingdom.

Outfits : Big princess ball-gown, (magic wand to be included).

Guests : Persuade your guests to arrive in costumes. Get key people in your wedding party to go all out with their garb!

Romantic Candlelight

Tell them he/she lights up your life. Light up the candles....lots of them. Create an ambience of romance.

Heart-To-Heart

You can have a heart theme for your wedding. Decorate everything with hearts, whether in different colours or in a single colour. Big hearts, little hearts. You may even wish to have little hearts sewn onto your wedding gown. A good designer will be able to incorporate any theme into your wedding dress.


Bursting With Love

Love is definitely in the AIR when you use balloons as a theme. Available in all shapes, sizes & colours, you can use balloons anyway you please. You can even set up a balloon shaping booth to keep the kids entertained. There is nothing more festive than to walk under a ceiling flooded with helium-filled balloons.

The above are just some ideas you can use to have the wedding of your dreams. You may even have an ethnic theme, a seashell wedding, a beach wedding, a garden wedding. The choices are endless. The important thing to remember is to create that special moment for yourself & your guests. Once you decide on your wedding theme, you can start your shopping for all the other wedding needs.

For help with the planning & implementing of your theme wedding, you may wish to consider hiring the services of a wedding consultant who can give you ideas & put it all together for you.
