Trendy Wedding Themes for a Memorable Celebration

Guest post by Hassan Iqbal

Are you getting married soon? Are you scared? Anxious? Excited? Happy? Terrified? Or all of the above? Then rest assured, you are not alone. It is normal to feel all kinds of emotions leading up to your big day. In addition to this, a wedding is not just heavy on emotions; it is also heavy on your wallet. The average wedding cost was around £20,775 in the UK for the year 2023

As the cost of living rises, increasing the cost borne by married couples, the stress surrounding weddings is only going to rise. Buying a house and starting a family for a married couple means an average expense of £395,000 for a married couple. 

Cost aside, there are many ways to relieve the stress of planning a wedding. Selecting a theme and making preparations around that theme can make wedding planning easier. Not to mention, you may end up saving some money because you can then focus all your energies on finding the best bargains. 

Top Trendy Wedding Themes for Your Big Day

As for themes, here are some trendy themes that you can choose from for your wedding:

Floral Fantasy


Florals for a spring wedding may not sound revolutionary, but we do not want radical. It is a wedding and a floral fantasy theme will add a touch of magic to the whole event. Especially suited for an outdoor venue, all you need for decorations for the wedding are lots of flowers and plants. 

You can even lean into the more fantasy element and add fairy lights and little magical creatures for the decorations. A big, princess-style gown for the bride with a hairstyle adorned with flowers and a beautiful bouquet to go with the floral decorations will complete the look. 

An outdoor venue is preferred, though you can also arrange your dream floral fantasy wedding indoors, especially if it resembles the inside of a castle. The theme goes with just about any kind of menu; as long as the food is delicious, your guests will be happy. It is a very romantic and traditional theme for a wedding.

Majestic Modern

Modern themes are quite popular nowadays, especially with younger couples. However, there is a misconception because modern doesn't just mean minimalistic or contemporary. This theme has sub-genres. 

Modern aesthetics can include minimalism, maximalist, post-modern industrial, contemporary, and even Art Deco aesthetics. Each one possesses a unique and distinct style that you can easily incorporate into your wedding. 

White Winter Wonderland

Perfect for a fairytale winter wedding. Why not make the best use of the winter landscape? Incorporate the season into your wedding theme, particularly if you have an outdoor venue. Winter landscape is breathtaking and you can always make use of the natural beauty. 

Even with an indoor setting, you can arrange a lovely event. You will need lots of branches, white flowers, and decorations to mimic snow and ice. With the white dress of the bride and the white decorations to match, the overall look is truly ethereal. 

The food must be warm and hearty to counter the frosty setting and make your guests feel comfortable and able to brave the chilly weather. Serve a hot reception drink drink and have soup as an appetiser.

Rustic Retro

You may not like the traditional look as many couples do not want a conventional event. If you have a unique taste and are not afraid to take a chance, a rustic retro aesthetic may fit you just fine. The theme may seem a little all over the place because it combines two distinct aesthetics. Yet, when executed properly it may make your wedding a memorable affair. 

Retro style can be any period you wish to draw inspiration from. It can be the 60s, the 70s, or any decade prior or after that. Add in a flair of the rustic or the organic, and you have a whole new theme. Many people have not seen these two styles combined. This means you can be guaranteed one thing; you will have people talking.

Classic Contemporary

The most reliable theme is a classic contemporary wedding. Contemporary style is always in vogue as it reflects what is fashionable at that time. add in traditional elements, like a white dress, roses, and other wedding staples and you have a conventional wedding. 

Classic contemporary style doesn't have to be boring. You can jazz it up by adding touches of customisation. Have your initials imprinted on the place cards or make use of a colour combination that means something to you. Maybe have flowers that hold a special meaning to you. These personal touches make the event more memorable.

Glitzy Glam

Your wedding day is the perfect day to feel and live like a celebrity. Give yourself the full VIP fantasy by having a glamorous wedding. You can go all out and decorate using neutral colours, like golds, beiges, and even silvers. 

Within the glam theme, you can choose Hollywood glam, complete with a red carpet and a TV hire that will feature the couple as a Hollywood couple. A glam theme is very elegant and sophisticated that goes well with a formal occasion like a wedding.

Cultural Crossover

Pay homage to your respective cultures or a culture you both like on your wedding day. Traditional dresses, decorations, and even traditional cuisine can be featured. It is a great way to be respectful of your cultural heritage, or appreciate another culture. 

Have your guests join in with the cultural festivities with traditional music and dances. Anyone can appreciate and celebrate even if you or others do not identify with a specific culture.

Wedition Hot Tip: when partners of different cultures marry and incorporate elements from both cultures into their wedding, having a personalised wedding magazine is a fabulous way to share all the cultural details with your guests who may not know about them.

Having a Themed Wedding

Selecting a theme for your wedding is just the starting point, but a great one. It allows you to become more focused and clear in your vision and reduces the stress of making decisions as the options are narrowed down. Still, planning and executing a wedding is a long journey and you need all the help you can get. 

It is a special occasion so if you want to splurge on something, hire a wedding planner. Wedding planners may even help you save money since they have all the right connections and sources. The workload will be reduced drastically and you can fully enjoy the event. even getting a wedding planner for the day of the wedding alone is enough to help you relax. It is your day and you must be free to enjoy it.
