Choosing Wedding Themes

There are many popular wedding themes that couples use as a basic design scheme for the different elements of their wedding ceremony and reception. Themed weddings allow you to link the wedding cake, favors, centerpieces and decorations and lend a festive atmosphere to your special day.

The best thing that you can do before choosing your decorations is to choose your theme. Themes for weddings are just like choosing themes for anniversaries and birthdays. Once you can decide on the theme, you can decorate around it.

For example, if you decide on one of the tropical theme weddings, you can use glass containers filled with sand as centerpieces at your reception. Other affordable themes are listed below. These are common themes for a wedding ceremony as well as a reception.

• Medieval theme: Wreaths, wild flowers, garlands, candles
• Tropical or beach theme weddings: sea shells, polished stones, fish tanks
• Victorian theme: lace, bows, flowers, candelabras
• Big band: balloon bouquets, stringed lights, empty wine bottles draped in fake pearls (can also be used as a centerpiece)
• Roaring 20s: balloons, streamers, candles
• Spring: daisies, butterflies, birds
• Autumn; colored leaves, terracotta pottery
• Winter theme weddings: crystal, icicles, babies' breath, glitter

These are some of the most common and affordable themes. Many of the items mentioned above can be found in discount stores and dollar stores.

So remember that before you can decide on a wedding budget, you must choose your theme and ensure that it suits your finances.
