Trending Wedding Themes

Choosing a wedding theme can be so difficult that many couples opt not to choose anything at all – they simply throw a big party, buy a nice dress and hope for the best! Still other couples are bound by religious tradition to have a very specific type of wedding ceremony and reception. But those who have no such affiliations, yet want a cohesive theme to tie their wedding day together, can draw inspiration from a variety of different motifs that will be hot in 2015.

Go Boho

The biggest single wedding theme this year, according to a leading wedding idea website, is definitely bohemian chic. The advantage to this type of wedding theme is its rustic, informal style, which allows brides and grooms to create a very personal and intimate atmosphere – think communal dining on long wooden tables outdoors, organic food served family-style, and lanterns or white twinkling lights to add cozy charm. Flower arrangements look like they were just picked off the field, and tend to incorporate natural and seasonal elements like pine cones and acorns. Other elements of a truly boho wedding can include vintage lace dresses, flower crowns and watercolour-inspired invitations in pastel hues.

Look to the Past

Vintage weddings are still big, a trend from years past that doesn’t seem to be going anywhere – probably because it’s so romantic, and you can have so much fun with it. Pinterest boards are full of whimsical vintage touches; you can go full-out and have an old-fashioned country fair, complete with bunting, cotton candy and a kissing booth, or just make use of tasteful accents like making your invitations look like old-style movie tickets, putting money envelopes in an antique birdcage, or selecting vintage china for the reception.

Glamour Now

For some brides, the thought of ‘something old’ just isn’t appealing, nor is the casual charm of a boho wedding. Glam girls should not despair: this year, shiny metals like silver (first) and copper (second) are being used right, left and centre. Flowers go ultra-luxe for the big day and so does food; tasting menus with succulent small plates are trending now. Dresses include sparkling applique, and veils are big again this year.

Pink Pop

Nothing is as feminine as pink, and this year it makes a big appearance on wedding day as a bold contrast to blinding white. We’re not talking about delicate pink pastels here, but overstated, bright pink accents (like shoes, flowers and balloons) accentuated with swatches of sequinned sparkle. It’s basically bling with pink, and what keeps it looking classy is all the crisp white on the tables – and on the bride, of course.
