Setting the tone and style of the day - wedding theme

Once you have got the budget sorted and an idea of the wedding reception venue you would like to hold your wedding, the theme of the wedding needs to be decided.

The theme of the wedding is often determined by a number of factors including:

• Religious Beliefs
• Time of year
• Venue
• Budget

The first choice to make is whether you want to have a civil or religious ceremony. This decision depends on your and your families personal beliefs.

Once this decision is made though, it will allow the tone and style of the day to be more easily set as a church ceremony and location can be very different to a civil ceremony.

The time of year is also very important for setting the style and tone of your wedding.

The season that you get married in will determine many things, including the wedding attire. For example in winter, coats and umbrellas will most probably be needed and you’ll probably want to minimise the time that you and your guests spend outside.

Also, some colour schemes may work better in winter months rather than the summer (e.g. gold and claret are the colours usually associated with Christmas weddings).

The colour scheme needs to be chosen carefully as this will be used throughout the whole theme of the wedding. Flowers, bridesmaid dresses, stationary, etc are all influenced by the colour that you choose and need to be consistent throughout to make the theme work.

The location of the wedding is also something important to consider when choosing the theme of your wedding. The theme needs to fit with the venues surroundings.

Finally, the wedding budget obviously plays a big factor in the style of your big day and needs to be taken into overall consideration. For example, if you wanted a certain colour scheme, do the flowers you want for your wedding come in that colour or are they going to have to be dyed and can you afford that within your budget?

Ultimately, although all these considerations are important, focus on what you like; the style and tone of your wedding should reflect what you want for your big day.
