Wedding Theme Ideas

Rustic weddings have become one of the most popular themes for weddings over the past few years, and we can see why! Whether you’re a fan of autumn or spring, this theme can be tailored to any time of year. If your special day will take place in the cooler months of the year, you might opt for a wedding in a barn decorated with string lights, sunflowers and tea light candles in mason jars. You might also enjoy our personalised wedding table numbers for more inspiration on how to make creative and personalised centrepieces for your rustic wedding! A colour theme that suits this autumn wedding is burgundy contrasted with sunflower yellow, so don’t hesitate to include some sunflowers in your bridal bouquet! With everything from kraft wedding invitations to wildflower wedding invitations, you are sure to find the wedding stationery that suits your autumnal rustic wedding among our collection. You can equally adapt your rustic wedding for the springtime as well with a more floral-inspired colour theme. Whether your rustic wedding will take place in a barn or a forest clearing, soft hues of blush pink and champagne featuring on your bridesmaids’ dresses and your floral arrangements will give your wedding a springtime feel. Wildflowers, peonies or a combination of the two will look lovely in your bridal bouquet as well as in a flower crown. You can find more inspiration in our rustic wedding invitation collection.

Make the most of the temperate spring or autumn weather with an outdoor bohemian wedding. From boho chic to a dreamy hippie-inspired ceremony, express your free spirit with this popular wedding theme. Colours such as auburn, mustard yellow, maroon and plum mixed with neutral shades such as cream and grey complement an autumn bohemian wedding, whilst swapping auburn for blush pink will make a delightful colour scheme for a springtime boho wedding. A matching bouquet of wildflowers in the same colour palette will beautifully contrast your white or cream wedding dress and a matching flower crown –  since individuality is at the core of a boho chic theme, feel free to set yourself apart from a traditional white dress and opt for beige or champagne. Whether your venue is in a garden or indoors, decorate your space with cascading string lights and wildflower wreaths, just like those you can find in our range of boho wedding invitations.

On the beach, by the lake or in your back garden, soak up the sun on your special day with a summer wedding. Whilst you might not be able to predict the weather, you can still organise an outdoor reception under a tent and hang fairy lights around the posts and from the top. If your summer wedding will take place on or near the water, you might opt for a nautical theme with an aquamarine, ocean blue or even a navy blue colour palette. Fill your bouquet and centrepieces with blue roses or carnations mixed in with neutral-tone flowers such as daisies or white lilies. Add ocean-themed decorations to your reception such as seashells and sand sprinkled across the tables, and offer a seafood dish on your summer wedding menu. If your summer wedding will take place in a garden, feel free to choose vivid tones of colours that will pop such as fuschia, peach, yellow, lilac and even mint green. You might opt for a flower crown of daisies for your special day, matching those you can find in our lovely collection of summer wedding invitations, which is filled with everything from nautical designs to beautiful summer flowers.

If you’ve always dreamt of saying your vows in a church, a traditional wedding might be the right theme for you. From classic wedding invitations to traditional wedding order of service booklets, we have a lovely range of traditional wedding stationery featuring elegant fonts and timeless floral designs set against neutral-coloured backgrounds. For a traditional wedding, black and white is a timeless colour theme, which you can complement with classic red roses in your bridal bouquet and centrepieces on the tables of your romantic wedding reception, which might take place in an elegant banquet hall. When it comes to your dress, consider long sleeves woven with lace or a ballroom gown with a long train. You can add sophistication to every part of your traditional wedding with our classic wedding wine labels to place on the bottles at your reception.

If you and your future spouse share a passion for travelling and are lucky enough to say your vows in your dream destination, your wedding’s colour theme and decor might depend on the city or country you choose. From the palm trees of southern France to the tropical foliage of the Caribbean, our destination wedding invitation collection includes floral designs from every corner of the globe. If your wedding will take place in a tropical paradise, consider a bold colour theme that matches the beach such as aquamarine, turquoise or palm tree green. Add tropical flowers to your bouquet such as hibiscus plants and orchids, which you can also use to make a beachy flower crown to match a simple white dress. If you and your soon-to-be spouse will hold your ceremony in the French countryside, consider a colour scheme to match the vineyards in your surroundings such as bordeaux or champagne, with matching peonies and local wildflowers. Draw inspiration from our wedding decoration advice page for more ideas on how to decorate for your destination wedding.

If you and your future spouse are anything but traditional, a modern wedding might be the right wedding theme for you. When deciding on a venue and decorations, think sleek, sophisticated and stylish, such as minimalist decor in a unique location like an art gallery or a venue with high ceilings and windows. If you enjoy simplicity, consider a black and white colour theme with silver accents. For a very contemporary wedding, forget the traditional rules of a white dress and opt for beige or even black! Our collection of modern wedding invitations features a range of contemporary designs from simple black and white invitations to photostrip-like bookmark wedding invitations that are sure to match the modern theme of your special day.

If you love the cool breeze of the spring or the warm embrace of the summer sun, a garden wedding might be the perfect place for you and your future spouse to say “I do”. Whether you wish to say your vows in an intimate ceremony in your own backyard or you’re dreaming of a ceremony in your favourite botanical garden, you are sure to find the wedding stationery that is just right for you in our floral wedding invitation collection or our watercolour wedding invitation collection. From English wildflowers to peonies in pastel hues of blush pink, baby blue and sage green, get inspired for your bridal bouquet and decorations by the blooming plants in the garden your ceremony will be held in. Hang string lights around the garden along with cascading daisy chains, and let a flower crown complement a simple white or cream wedding dress with butterfly or long lace sleeves. Create your own wedding favours in mason jars and include a unique wedding favour sticker on the bottle to give your guests a keepsake from your garden wedding. Looking for ideas on wedding favours?
