Unique Wedding Theme Ideas
Why not let your personality shine through with a theme wedding?
Just add a splash of imagination, and you'll be destined for an event your guests won't soon forget.
Make your guests feel like they're on the shores of sun-drenched Hawaii. How? Decorate your reception hall with tiki torches, orchids, and palm fronds. Play traditional Hawaiian music (with ukuleles). For food and beverages, serve pupu platters and mai tais. For party favors, give each guest a fragrant flower lei.
Start with a historic site. Pick from red, white and blue for your bridesmaids' gowns and accessories, not to mention your table linens and other decor. Hire up some fifes and drums. For an old-fashioned feast, have a barbeque — then serve ice cream and cake with sparklers on top.
This relaxed yet classy event's at home on a yacht, at a yacht club or even down on the shore. For decorations, draw on colorful signal flags. The bride could don a straw boater hat instead of a veil, and the men dress down in blue blazers and khaki pants. A clambake or lobster bake is perfect for your wedding feast. Use large conches or miniature lighthouses as centerpieces.

Get your guests' heels kicking with a jazz or Zydeco band. Serve up Cajun favorites such as gumbo, crawfish etouffee, jambalaya, and an oyster bar. For drinks, serve Hurricanes (what else?), and hand out Mardi Gras beads as wedding favors.
How about a day at the races? Bride and bridesmaids alike should wear fabulous hats, and the music should be reminiscent of bluegrass. For drinks, serve Mint Juleps (hand out silver-plated julep cups as favors, or fancy paper fans). Arrive in a horse-drawn carriage.
Take your guests back with food, drink, dress and merry-making from times of yore. The bride, groom and attendants should all dress in period costumes (encourage your guests to join in the fun). For food, set up a carving board heaped with roasts, whole grain loaves and other hearty fare.
During the ceremony, draw on the medieval handfasting ritual, in which the couple faces each other, crosses arms and holds hands. The best man then binds their hands with a ribbon, forming the sign for "infinity" while the couple recites their vows.

Only your wedding could make this time of year even more magical. The bride might don a white velvet gown, red cape, and white fur muff, while the bridesmaids sweep down the aisle in red or white velvet. Heartstring-pulling Christmas hymns are a natural — get your guests in the holiday spirit by having the children pass out song sheets, and pausing for a Christmas carol sing-along.
For decor, use poinsettias, holly and pinecone centerpieces. A sparkling Christmas tree makes a fabulous focal point — you can even deck it with favors for the guests in the form of adorable ornaments. To continue the storyboook look, have the bride carry holly and gold-painted pomegranates, and the bridesmaids bypass the usual bouquets in favor of holly wreaths with tiny silver bells.
Decorate your reception hall in shades of cranberry and pumpkin, deep greens and sables. Use cornucopias as centerpieces, stuffed with gilded fruits and vegetables. Scatter pumpkins and gourds — left plain, touched with gold, carved with your monogram or hollowed and filled with flowers. The bride could carry ivy or leaves along with her autumn-friendly flowers. For the food, start with with the "comfort" offerings you'd see at a Thanksgiving buffet.

I am getting married memorial day weekend but we are having black and purple colors. We are at an outdoor wedding with an indoor reception but im having trouble finding a theme. I LOVE butterflies but don’t want it to be too immature. Any ideas?!
Jackie,
butterflies can be quite beautiful in a wedding theme.
*butterfly theme
*wedding boards
*real weddings
*more pics
since you are going with black and purple i would suggest ornate butterflies some with sequins. it would be so pretty. if you decide to go ahead with this theme let me know and i will put together some ideas!! LOVE IT!!
jackie,
add rhinestone butterflies to your bouquets….
*accents
*to your wedding cake
have a single butterfly sitting on your centerpieces, whether on edge of container on sitting on one of the flowers. ( you could think rhinestone butterflies for this too or elegant butterflies on picks that look like they would be floating in air)
and last have some butterflies sitting quietly like special guests on your arch watching as you become husband and wife.
this would lend a simple elegance in your decor with the butterflies.
Have you thought about using a ink stamp to personalize your envelopes? How about going to
http://www.zazzle.com (or other sites) and trying to have a postage stamp made? The one thing about using
butterflies . . . be subtle or it can be overwhelming. I agree with Stacey, ONE butterfly per flower arrangement, ONE per bouquet. There are also butterfly ornaments you can wear in your hair. Try to find a company that personalizes napkins . . . and find small butterfly stickers (or make your own) for your favors. Talk to your local bakery about incorporating your colors and theme into your cake . . . that’s what they’re there for! Also, go to the search box at the top of this page . . . Favorideas has a page about butterfly weddings.
HI! So my fiance and I have picked a personal theme. The colours are Tangerine (his fav colour) & Victorian Lilac (my fav colour). We want to have the Intinity (sideways 8) Symbol incorporated, but we are having such a hard time. We cant think of any ways to do centerpieces, the cake or anything. All we have down is what the bridal party will be wearing. Please help!!!!! =]
You can get wedding rings with the infinity symbol on them . . . and earrings and necklaces (check ebay
and overstock.com). I think a round layered wedding cake with a band of infinity symbols linked together
would be nice (white frosting, black scroll infinity symbols for a victorian look, then add flowers to the
top in your colors). You can get someone to do a custom logo . . . make stickers or tags for your favors,
and seals for your invitation envelopes. Also an arrangement of votive candles in an infinity symbol shape with a mirrored table top with a wall mirror nearby would be a nice addition to your infinity theme.
I made a 2×2 inch “photo” with names (sorry, it’s a little lopsided, I did it in about 2 minutes!). Anyone with photoshop elements could do it for you . . .
omg, the wedding cake you sent is amazing!! i love the idea, i never even thought of that!! when i saw the thing you made me i was shocked (my ex is mark) my fiance is Ryan. i never thought about making anything myself. im sure it would be alot cheaper too. thanks so much!! if you have any other ideas please let me know!!!! -> and what do you think about the colors?
I found a cute design . . . check out http://www.cafepress.com and type infinite heart -it’s a heart, the sides of which loop through an infinity symbol. This might also be a good design for the side of your cake. If you use bright colors on the cake, consider toning things down by using an off-white lace tablecloth on the cake table.
I like this cake . . . you could use the heart/infinity symbol on the top layer, the ring of infinity symbols on the second layer, and a pattern on the bottom layer like the one shown in the photo. I even like the color, just add your own color flowers to the top . . . I would, however, have them use a smaller tip to make the designs more delicate. But I think using a neutral color cake, with the brighter colors as accents will make your colors “pop” without being overwhelming. Good Luck!
I found one! A BEAUTIFUL cake with an infinity symbol . . . go to http://www.theknot.com and type The Grand Lodge into the search engine. The wedding is listed under “The Grand Lodge 8/8/08″.
My wedding is in december, and my colors Champaigne gold and ivory. We are Asians, living in Asia so having a winter theme wedding is strange to me. I want to have flowers for decor but unsure how I can incorporate a little Christmas into it as well, since I am also Catholic. Dont want it looking too christmassy, but certainly want the festive look! Help!
enoka,
since branches are a part of asian decor themes, i would do that for my centerpieces and add crystals. the colors will look wintry with candlelight. you could also have the baker add white edible glitter on a all white cake which looks like ice. i would have cylinders with white floating candles too. have the oversize ones that way you can place them on the floor in groupings of 3. ( keep it an odd number for a more pleasing effect)
*winter wedding
*winter wedding centerpieces
*more centerpieces
this should give you all the wintry feel your wanting without going overboard. if you want you could also have gold wrapped presents piled up on the guest table and in strategic spots on floor, or you could wrap boxed favors in gold and ivory wrapping and attach a gold christmas floral pick or very small ornament on the bow. hope this helps!!
Use 3 forms of flower arrangements that are traditionally used at Christmas:
1-Wreaths . . . use to hang on doors to the hall or
the church, or on any large empty walls
2-Garlands . . . hang around the cake table, on a mantel, etc
3-Kissing Balls . . . these can be hung from large
branches, the back of chairs, and bridesmaids can carry them instead of bouquets
Consider adding crystals to flower arrangements
(they give off a “snowy” feeling) or add evergreen
branches (real ones add that nice fresh Christmas
fragarence) . . .you would have to use some greenery
anyway to your flowers . . . evergreen branches can
be added to your garlands and your wreaths and used as the base of the kissing balls.
Lighted wreath is from treetopia.com, instructions on
how to make the other wreath are on marthastewart.com
Also, consider adding fruit (apples, pears, grapes)
either real or artificial, to your centerpieces. These
also give off a holiday vibe, without screaming
Chiristmas. Think about adding a little more ribbon
to floral arrangements and perhaps even round ornaments in your wedding colors.
Candle arrangement photo is from jasperandprudence.com. (Also, an ice sculpture makes
for a wintery effect!)
this is from the Midnight Velvet catalog. This is an example of what I was describing when I was writing about adding fruit to a floral arrangement.
Thanks so much!! these are all great ideas!! I really didn’t want to have a winter-theme or too much Christmas, as we live in a tropical country. your ideas are just perfect for that festive look!
What can I do about favors, though? Something guests can use as tree decorations?
Yes, especially if they match your wedding colors. Is there a special candy or cookie
that you serve around the holidays that you
could use as a favor? Are small trees available to you to order to give as favors?
How about a small toy wrapped in a small
box with a bow? A candle wrapped in
tulle with a festive bow would work, too.
Small bottles of wine tied with greens and a bow would look festive. Good Luck!
we’re having a hard time coming up with a theme for our wedding. our colors are plum and gold. i’ve been to a wedding in the past that was centered around the Frank Sinatra song, The Best is Yet to Come. It was SO cute. We’re wanting to do something like that, but we are having a really difficult time finding songs that could work the same way. Any ideas?
shala,
it actually depends on what era you would like to work with. i love the song At Last by Etta James. i could see a elegant classic style wedding with late 50’s to 60’s touches.
the first place i would begin is think of movies you love watching, are there any songs that you love? you could pull from that. i have a couple pics that would be so fitting to Going to the Chapel by the Dixie Cups, let me know and i will post those if your interested.
you can listen to it here….
*going to the chapel
here is a great place to look and listen…
*wedding songs
another fun one is….
*youtube
*when i fall inlove nat king cole ( i LOVE this song for a wedding it is perfect!)
another version…
*when i fall in love
i dont know if you will like the songs i posted but maybe it will help spur ideas. let me know and i will put together a mood board with your colors etc.
How about “(I’ve had)The Time of My Life” with a clock theme?
Use crystal clocks on mirrors or anniversary clocks (the ones
that are under glass domes) as centerpieces. Put a mantel
clock at the head table. Present your new husband with an
engraved watch as his wedding present. Give clocks as favors.
Go to http://www.stumpsprom.com for an arch. Use a small crystal
(or plastic, but “crystal-look”) clock on top of your cake?
Or you could have “This Time of my Life” written on the side of
your cake with Roman Numerals circling the bottom layer.
Okay, if you like Sinatra, how about “Fly me to the Moon” with
a celestial theme? “Cloud” photo is from Anderson’s Prom website.
This theme could also be used for “Moondance” or
“Heaven” by Bryan Adams.
If you used “Overjoyed” by Stevie Wonder you could use a
“Building a Castle of Love” theme. Use a fairytale theme,
which would be great with plum and gold. The candle favor is
from http://www.favorideas.com and the decorations are from
anderson’s prom website. Again, you could have the lyrics,
“We are building a castle of love . . .” written on the side of
the wedding cake.
“Stone in Love with You” by the Stylistics
Use stone place cards, incorporate stones into your centerpieces, scatter stones on your cake table.
“It’s a Wonderful World” or “A Whole New World” would work
with a travel theme. Use globes, compasses, even weather
vanes as decorations. Give luggage tags as favors, use
passport style invitations and/or programs. Use vintage
art deco postcards as table names (London, Madrid, Paris)

Hi! i’m going to get married on feb 2010. still have no theme for my wedding…my motiff is red wine and champagne gold..i know it’s close to valentines day, but i don’t want my wedding to be decorated with hearts. any ideas?
Use a wine theme, use wine bottles as vases, grapes in your
centerpieces, use the cork placecard holders. Use wine colored ribbon and grapes on your cake.
nancy b.
loving your ideas!!
Thanks! I have waaaaay too much time on my hands.

I’m having a Fuchsia and Chocolate Brown wedding and I have no idea what kind of theme I should go with. Please please please help me. My wedding is March 20, 2010 in Jacksonville, FL
nikki,
hello!! what a perfect color combo! you can go any direction with this color combo! base your theme on a fave movie, place, or anything that means the world to you both. could you tell me a little about what you both love? you could even go with a elegant or a casual theme and base it on the actual type of wedding it is. i have a pic and a link you might enjoy. its beautiful!
* Real Wedding: Allison + Drake
hai,
want to ask for some help… am getting married next year and it’s on valentine’s day… but am really confused on what theme am going to have… my motiff is blue and yellow and it can’t be incorporated with valentines… the color should be red… but i don’t like it… can u please help me?! thanks in advance…
cille,
actually blue and yellow can be incorporated. instead it will be a romance theme with a heart motif ( invitations etc) subtle though. think lush romantic bouquets and decor.
google image blue and yellow wedding board
let me know whattcha think!
cille,
here is a link to show how romantic the color scheme is.
*wedding cake
You can still use hearts or cupids. . . or chocolate!
Use romantic accents like swags of fabric or faux pearls
in your flowers.
I thought this was a sweet, romantic bouquet
With a few more blue flowers, I thought this might be nice.
GETTING MARRIED JULY 11.2009 I KNOW LAST MINUTE BUT WE ARE LOOKING FOR REDNECK WEDDING THEMES FOR MY BROTHER, HE IS AN AVID DEER HUNTER AND HAS RECRUITED HIS FIANCE’ INTO DOING IT ALSO.. WE HAVE THE DRESSES… HAVE AN IDEA FOR THE FLOWERS( FALL THEME SUNFLOWERS, AND A FEW OTHER THINGS.. THE BRIDES MADE DRESSES ARE MOSSY OAK CAMO.. (LACEANDPROMISES.COM) WE JUST NEED SOME IDEAS FOR CENTERPIECES, A CAMO OR THEMED CAKE… DECORATIONS.. ECT. I AM RUNNING OUT OF IDEAS.. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kim,
google image camo wedding then camo wedding centerpiece also try camo wedding cake
why not have centerpieces of cattails? you can buy artificial at local craft stores. another idea is lanterns. you might think i am absolutely crazy but if your wedding is on the fun casual side. why not have flowers set down in……deer or seed corn? you can’t beat a bag of deer corn or a few ponds of seed corn from a feed store. just some fun thoughts!!
another idea is a vase of acorns with your flowers or vases or simple glass bowls of mixed nuts ( leave shelled for unedible and unshelled for edible. make sure youhave enough.
kim, i meant pounds of seed corn. i cant spell!! lol.
kim, the mixed nuts in shell or deer/seed corn would make a great base for candles too. i forgot to mention that beans or peas would make great ideas too, in place of the corn. just anything you would use for your deer plot.
if you would like to see the cake that i had when i got married that will give you the best idea. i got married in a campground and the cake was all camping themed.. 4 levels..bottom one was a tent…2nd was a outhouse…3rd was the outhouse…4th was a path in the woods with little bushes…n 4th was out topper if you want to see e-mail me!
Check out http://www.jacquespastries.com, check out their
tire wedding cake. Have the couple arrive in an old pick up truck. Use flowers in beer cans or beer bottles as centerpieces.
Have the couple sit in porch rockers or those retro 50’s metal
porch chairs ( some call them shell chairs). Have the
photographer take a photo of the wedding party in bare feet.
Use bandanas as napkins and/or bibs.
Use clean deer antlers for centerpieces laying on a bed of palmetto and moss w/ sunflower and cattails in the center of the antlers in a clear vase…
donna,
bravo!! love your ideas!!
Glad it helped… I’m from a whole family of deer hunters!!
We are having my son’s rehearsal supper and using the hunting theme as well!! Donna in Louisiana
A friend’s cousin recently had a redneck wedding . . .
we got her a two -tiered wedding cake rack (the kind Wilton
makes) and instead of having a traditional wedding cake,
they simple Bundt cakes, decorated them with flowers
and placed them on the stand . . . it actually looked nice . . .
and it was different. The brides sisters (she has 4!) each made
a different flavor cake the morning of the wedding and they
were sliced and put on platters for the guests. This saved the
couple at least $200 and was unique . . . and everyone loves
Bundt cake!
I looked all over the web and only found one photo with bundt-style wedding cake. Go to http://www.bhg.com click on
creative weddings, then creative wedding cakes. Number 25 is somewhat similar to what I discribed in my previous
comment.
hey
sweets
i am getting married on 12 december need assitance on theme and unique colors dear
all if possible in some good takeaways for my guest…
awaiting for ur reply and ideas
love ya
carol
carol, what shades do you prefer? bold or soft? how does your setting look; i can find something to compliment if i know what its colors are. also are there any colors that are not a possibility? are you having a theme?
Hello I need help coming up with a wedding theme “spices”. I’ve got some ideas in order to decorate such as cinnamon, ginger, coffee seeds, star anise etc but I cannot find any wedding favors on this theme, or any beautiful cake decorate with these spices to help me to do my own one, any wedding invitations; my color theme is ivory and chocolate, thanks everybody for your help
marie, great wedding idea!! just name each table after a different spice. this is kinda like a morrocan theme! have jars of sea salt(to cook with) tied with a pretty ribbon and card. use exotic printed paper.
i had a difficult time trying to find anything. why not have a spice cake for the wedding cake. they are soooo delicious with cream cheese frosting.
*Spice up your Wedding!
*Abby and Tait (this is gorgeous!! i could so see this with spices!!)
google image spice wedding packets (links are there) also google image brown morrocan wedding invitation. i think a pattern would work well here. also think about pulling similar pattern into your ivory and brown wedding colors. i think it would surely add a little spice of its own with regular spices of course! i know your not going the moroccan way but i think it will blend beautifully! google search also google image morrocan theme wedding. hope this helps!!
I think using some spice wreaths at the entrance to your wedding or reception would be nice . . . everyone would enter to
a wonderful aroma! Go to http://www.save-on-crafts.com for instructions on how to make a spice wreath. Also, try Ebay or
Esty, they may have some photos. A chocolate fondant cake
with ivory ribbon decorated with star anise, whole nutmeg and cinnamon sticks would be subtle and elegant. If you want to use coffee beans, buy large, tall glass containers and fill them
1/3 full with coffee, and plunge a large pillar candle in it. It’s
simple, and the coffee beans give off a nice smell.
Forgot . . . I think spice cookies would make a great favor!
Make brown and ivory thank you tags, and attach a star anise to eash tag. You could also make your place cards the same way.
You don’t mention when your wedding is, put if it’s going to be cooler, you could also have mulled wine or mulled cider, or consider using one of those pretty glass cold drink dispensers ( the kind with a spigot) and have cold
cider with lemon and cinnamon sticks, or iced tea with mint. If you go go
http://www.lhj.com, they have instructions for both a Bay Leaf
Wreath and a Spicy Citrus Wreath. Talk to your florist about using herbs in your bouquets.
Found this at http://www.hobbylobby.com website,
under project: inspirations, autumn meadow
The photo of the escort card is similiar to what I was trying to describe in my previous post . . . just place a star anise where
the leaf is on this card.
Also, this chocoalte ganache cake, with flowers and spices,
instead of fruit, is what I tried to describe before.
Hope this helps!
I need help coming up with a wedding theme. I would like for it to be outdoorsy and nature loving but would also like to incorporate something to do with classic type movies such as Gone with the wind or Casablanca………or maybe even an alfred hitchcock thriller?? help anyone???
brenda,
* Old Hollywood Inspiration
* need help w/ “Casablanca” themed wedding
* Casablanca Party Theme
* Rick’s Cafe Casablanca ( this would be the decor colors and style to choose for the casablanca theme, i would stick to morrocan lamps, palm fronds, white lilies, black white and green or brown white and green color scheme) have a cigar lounge set up complete in moroccan style if you choose. otherwise have a simple classic lounge decor with offered cigars. wear a gorgeous and sophisticated 1940’s gown( even choose a wear again number with peep toe heels)
you can google image 1940’s wedding dresses and 1940’s inspired heels. a great favor would be glass with lid canisters full of different spices, cinnamon, allspices etc. offer small plastic spice containers and small scoops. can you imagine how different that would be? everyone can use that in their baking when home!! or offer a great spice cookie with a simple white glaze. ( like a molasses cookie) we have a bbq place that offers these with a white confectioners sugar glaze. they are chewy and heavenly. i promise your guests will love them. put your guys in white dinner jackets or simple double breasted black suits or jackets. have the small “squatty” champagne glasses.
it doesnt have to be complete casablanca themed, this will still look up to date. have simple foods, have a simple shrimp pasta dish ( linguine) and offer a plain style pasta( in case of seafood allergies)with a great salad ( spinach and lettuce blend with toasted pecans or walnuts, shredded cheeses, mandarin oranges, raspberry vinegrette dressing), toasted garlic breads. offer a homestyle dessert buffet, consider key lime, orange, passionfruit fillings. pies would have been a part of this, also think about chocolate eclairs.
brenda,
for the alfred hitchcock wedding theme. a unique wedding would be the murder mystery style theme. didn’t know how you feel abou this for a wedding. but i have always wanted to go to one of these. it might be great fun for the guests. you can actually hire companies to put these on for you!! check your area for party and event planning that will have contacts for this type of event. encourage guests to dress like they did during that era ( any could work, 1920’s classic would be so great!) google search 1920’s wedding theme. remember it should not overwhelm your wedding, it should add to the occasion, should still feel like a wedding. also if you dont have your venue yet, call around and see if a any place has this type of event. it will truly be a hitchcock wedding with this. see if you could get an announcer that resembles hitchcock or has that same style. think about putting his profile clipart on programs etc.

( this is the winner!! looks like a modern day gwtw, unless your going for the hoop skirts, in that case google image gwtw wedding) i am from the south, so i would choose magnolias. most flowers and greenery would have been clipped from the garden. and i would do a gwtw bbq!! keep linens in lace, outdoors would have decorated the setting so keep florals simple but keep food in abundance. my traditonal southern get togethers have a buffet of food like fried chicken, a simple vase of flowers to one side would be pleanty. the dessert table is a must! asortments of pies and cakes. antique punch bowl. for a visual on a wedding that would fit in? head to brides.com and type in homeward bound if link below doesn’t work….

Check out prom websites (like Anderson’s) . . . they have many hollywood backdrops and props. How about a white
cake with frosted movie reel trim on each layer? Put the cake on black velvet fabric or put black and white photos of your favorite movie stars on the cake table with silver star glitter sprinkled over the black velvet. Use a red carpet at the entrance of the reception hall . . . you can rent stanchions with velvet ropes (check out you local party rental store, look under
‘crowd control’) . . . have you guests ‘walk the red carpet’.
Play movie theme music during dinner. Try renting a popcorn machine or having a candy buffett, using movie candy.
Some gift stores at the malls sell “life size” stand ups of
movie stars . . . place some disposable cameras nearby so
guests can take photos with the stand-ups.
I am getting married july 2009. My fiance is a funeral director and we are planning a “death do us part” wedding. Any ideas?

Hey you can have 8 of everything!
flowers in each vase, candles per table, 8 crystral flowers on your dress, etc
the 8.8.08 wedding date. you could do a vegas theme and put the 8’s one a slot machine. might be cute if you are into the whole party vegas casino theme.
I am getting married next October and I am trying to figure out ways to incorporate late 19th century England with a mod theme. Our colors are black and white, and I having a really difficult time trying to combine these very separate ideas. Any suggestions would greatly appreciated. Thank you
some idea for 08/08 theme could be spheres (since the number eight visually looks like 2 circles) and i saw an episode of “whos wedding is it anyway” where the bride wanted a spherical theme and the end result was really pretty.
another idea i thought of was “the figure 8″ and it could be ice/skating inspired. there are also other uses for the figure 8 that you could play off of.
mathematically a lying 8 symbol means infinity, which in my opinion would be an easy theme especially for a wedding.
i hope those arent too dumb for themes!
I have picked the date of 8.8.08 as well. Any ideas anyone one a “theme” or favors? Yes I have found all the meanings of the number 8 but I’m stumped on a “theme”….help!
I am geting married on 8-8-08 too! I love that date. We want to do a simple wedding. I like your idea about incorporating the number 8 into to it. I might steal that idea. If you want to keep in touch my email is gagm514 [insert AT symbol] yahoo.com
