As hard as it may be to believe, weddings in 2020 are still lit! Know what this means? Of course a whole new range of awesome wedding themes! Every year, couples keep becoming more and more imaginative, putting new spins on old classics and elevating existing trends to match a more modern look.

Rustic, nautical, white wedding; you must have run into more than a few wedding themes while browsing for inspirations or attending weddings, but have you thought about what goes behind each theme? We think that a wedding theme should be about more than mere looks or trends. Above all else, a wedding theme should reflect your true personality as a couple. Aside from that, a wedding theme should be able to pull every wedding element, from the venue, wedding decorations to the tiniest details, together in harmony.

How do your guests feel as they walk in? What kind of impression are you trying to convey to your guests? To help you imagine your dream wedding even further, try asking these questions to yourself and your partner.

Things to consider when choosing a wedding theme
Now that you've pictured what your dream wedding will be like, take a look at some factors that can help you decide on a specific wedding theme.

Venues play a major role:

Your wedding venue will take a big chunk out of your wedding budget; the last thing you want is for it to clash with the wedding theme. If you've already chosen a venue for your nuptials, take a look at what it has to offer. Pay attention to its features and ambiance, and choose a suitable theme to go with them. For instance, a grand wedding hall is suitable for glamorous celebrations, like this couple's extravagant wedding at the Paris Opera.

If you don't have a venue yet, refer to the dream wedding that you've envisioned before. What kind of venue will suit the theme you have in mind? Be mindful of your budget, though. If a venue you like far exceeds your original budget, do reconsider whether it's worth it.

Don't compromise on your favorite colors:

Next, think about your favorite colors and see if they pair well. Don't have a favorite color? Just go through your wardrobe and count the colors you wear the most. Or, you can start browsing different color combinations to see if any will catch your eye.
Remember, don't disregard your fiancé's opinion on this matter. Take notes from this flower-filled wedding in Bali. The groom didn't want to have too many feminine colors on the wedding day, so the stylist incorporated shades of gray to create dusty versions of pink and purple. What a clever way to cater to both the bride and groom!

Delve a little deeper:

When it comes to choosing a wedding theme that's unique and personal, just treading the water won't do you any good. You need to get into the details. If you want to have a vintage-themed wedding, for instance, decide on a specific period, like the 1920s or 1960s. If you like rustic decorations, which kind of rustic are you talking about? The elegant or rugged kind? With a clear brief, it will be easier for vendors to understand your vision. If your theme is too general, different vendors might have different interpretations, and the results may not look harmonious together.

Consider the season:

Don't forget about the season, especially if you're planning an outdoor wedding. You can't have a garden wedding in the winter, can you? Also, different seasons offer different atmospheres and natural colors. For example, if you've decided to have a fall wedding, autumnal colors such as orange or red will be especially suitable.

Popular wedding styles to choose from:

You might already have a few ideas for your dream wedding, but putting them altogether from scratch can be challenging. That's why we've collected five popular wedding themes that you can use as a template. Keep in mind that these are general themes and you are more than welcome to customize them according to your preferences and personality.

Classic

This is the kind of celebration that comes to mind when you hear the word "wedding". It's a foolproof choice for romantic couples with a refined sense of style. This is most suitable for a ballroom, function hall, or restaurant.

The classic theme is a timeless choice that is easy to modify. On the downside, your wedding can look eerily similar to many other weddings. To avoid this, add some personal touches to keep your wedding from being dull and predictable.

Rustic

If you want a laid-back atmosphere, rustic will be a perfect choice. It's also great for those who wish to have an eco-friendly wedding or DIY lovers who want to add crafty elements. This theme is for a rich rustic feeling, choose a forest, loft, garden, or conservatory.
The rustic is very versatile and can be adapted to different settings. It's more suitable for casual celebrations, however, so keep this in mind if you're planning to throw a formal wedding.

Beach

Beach lovers, couples with a small guest list, and those who yearn for an unforgettable destination wedding experience. You can choose to get married by the beach or at a chapel overlooking the ocean.

Beach weddings have a casual atmosphere, so guests can unwind and just enjoy the party. A beach wedding also gives you a chance to travel with your loved ones. However, you won't be able to invite too many guests as most beach venues have limited space and not every guest will be able to travel on your wedding day.

Tropical

This theme will be especially great if you live in a tropical country. Filled with colors and plenty of energy, this kind of wedding is suitable for couples with a fun personalities. The beach, garden, and pool are great venue options for this theme.

Tropical weddings have a lot of colors and exotic flowers. It can be tricky to decide on a color palette, and off-season exotic flowers can be hard to find. Despite the drawbacks, think of all the colors you'll get in your wedding pictures!

Modern minimalist

Perfect for edgy couples with a clean and sleek sense of style; those who genuinely believe that less is more. Any place can be your wedding venue, but look out for wide spaces with simple architecture such as lofts, rooftop venues, and glasshouses.

This kind of celebration will stand out among all the other glamorous weddings. You can also cut your decoration cost, as long as the venue already suits your creative vision. Unfortunately, it might not be easy to find a suitable venue that has the kind of aesthetic you're aiming for. It also won't be easy to convince your parents, especially if most weddings around you are not that simple.
