Creative Ideas for Unique Wedding Themes

Themed weddings are becoming increasingly popular. A theme allows the couple to have more creative freedom and express their personality; rather than just choosing wedding colors, they can now choose the entire ambiance of the ceremony and reception. Here are some creative ideas for unique wedding themes.

Garden Party

The Look

Flowers. Everywhere. If you opt for this aesthetic, plan to spend most of your decorating budget on florals. Flower crowns, flower arches or walls, and floral-patterned lace go with this look. A bohemian-style wedding dress or suit looks beautiful with this aesthetic; if your wedding is outdoors, you could even get married barefoot!

The Venue

As the name suggests, this aesthetic looks best in a garden. Getting married in an actual garden would also cut down on floral costs. If an outdoor wedding isn’t for you, choose a venue that will mesh well and bring the garden inside.

The Color Palette

Blush, sage green, pale yellow, and cream look lovely. If you love color, this aesthetic also looks beautiful with bold oranges, pinks, and yellows.

The Décor

Bring in as much whimsy as you like. Cozy, mismatched furniture, mismatched glassware, wood slice centerpieces, and lanterns complete this look.

Black Tie

The Look

This theme is as elegant and high-class as it gets. The aesthetic relies on your guests dressing the part: Options for dress code include black suit pieces and floor-length gowns. A fitted suit or luxurious bridal gown would look stunning at this event; pair it with gloves or diamond details for a greater wow factor.

The Venue

A ballroom is well suited for this theme if you don’t mind something traditional. Try a museum or modern loft if a ballroom isn’t unique enough for you. You could even choose something industrial chic!

The Color Palette

Black and white should be your main colors. If you’re craving color, choose one rich jewel tone to pair with the look: ruby, sapphire, emerald, or amethyst look stunning.

The Décor

Clear, acrylic elements look great with this aesthetic, as do mirrored elements. For more visual interest, add metallic details. Tall pillar or taper candles complete the look. For extra glam, consider painting candles for your wedding.

Cowboy Chic

The Look

Another creative idea for a unique wedding theme, the cowboy chic look thrives on the rustic and rugged. Think of brides with big hair and bigger dresses. The groom, groomsmen, or even the bride could wear cowboy boots to pull the look together. There are tons of great western theme wedding ideas to make your wedding stand out.

The Venue

A barn or ranch works well with this aesthetic. A tent under the stars is also a lovely and unique way to host your reception.

The Color Palette

The rustic element means lots of wood details and neutrals. Creams, reds, and blues pair nicely and add a pop of color.

The Décor

Country western décor is your best friend for this aesthetic. Choose boots, hats, and spurs—worn or decorative! Mason jars work great as candle holders, and wooden details pull the look together.
