Choosing a Wedding Theme:

Your Day.
Your Theme.
Your Story.
First, think of what you and your partner love - your milestones, your favourite colours and meaningful elements to incorporate. Adding accents that reflect your personalities and your memories will add a personal touch. Consider your desired mood. What do you want to represent about your relationship? What story do you want to tell your guests and how do you want them to feel with the details and decor.
For the Classic Couple:
Timeless Elegance
Decor
Use subdued lighting like hanging lights and classical decor like calligraphy, fine china and luxurious florals such as roses and peonies for an air of formal elegance.
Colours
Soft neutrals like ivory, white, blush pink, and navy blue.
Venue
Historical venues such as grand ballrooms, churches, or elegant garden estates filled with flowers.
Your look
Think white or ivory ballgowns or A-line silhouettes, tuxedos and classic suits in black or navy.
For the Opulent couple: A Glam Celebration
Decor
Display dramatic lighting - strategically placed spotlights, a canopy of crystal chandeliers, lots of candles in tall, chic candleholders on luxe linens with textured glass, fine china, sleek metallic cutlery, and lush, cascading floral arrangements.
Colours
Go all out with the glitz and glam of monochromatic shades - white, ivory with rich golds, silvers, and dark tones like navy, black or deep burgundy.
Venue
For lavish soirees, a grandiose chateau, elegant wine farm, grand ballroom or estate surrounded by trees and romantic rose bushes are key.
Your look
A formal dress with pearl detailing, and other gems to add shimmer, shine and extravagance. And for him? A classic tux.
Whimsical Couple: A Vintage Fairytale
Decor
Antique furniture, lace tablecloths, mismatched dinner plates and retro signage. Incorporate personal touches like heirloom jewellery or sentimental details of your unique journey.
For a bohemian feel, try earthy, muted colour palettes and tons of greenery in clear glasses. You can even go rustic – bright white, raw linens, paired with textured natural fabrics, candles, warm wooden beams and twinkling fairy lights.

Soft pastels, muted tones, with gold and copper accents.

Quaint barns, rustic estates, or cafes that exude vintage charm.

Vintage-inspired dresses and suits with accessories like lace gloves, headbands, and suspenders.

Sleek and modern, with minimalistic designs and geometric patterns. Try interactive elements or an immersive experience.

2025 colours include deep jewel tones – emerald greens, deep sapphires and rich amethyst, citrus hues such as zesty lemon, juicy tangerine or grapefruit pink, and a natureinspired palette – sage green, ethereal blues and terracotta.

Industrial lofts, urban rooftops, or nontraditional spaces like art galleries.

Non-traditional wedding dresses and mismatched bridesmaids’ dresses. Think avantgarde or cutting-edge fashion.
