They focus on creating highly intimate, personalized wedding themes that highlight all the special moments for themselves and their guests. While some couples dream of a private wedding on some quiet beach away from the rest of the world, others desire the glitz and glamor of big weddings.
From the ashes of a pandemic have new elements of design, new wedding themes, and state-of-the-art experiences risen, all created to capture beautiful beginnings.
Here are 5 of the most popular wedding themes you can easily match with multiple venue styles
1. Outdoor theme
Outdoor weddings were more of a necessity rather than a luxury throughout the pandemic. They grew in popularity in 2021 and are going to be as trendy in 2021 too. Outdoor weddings are not only lovely but they also bring sweet, natural vibes to the occasion.
Recently, most couples chose secret gardens and secluded beaches as their venues. Alternative options such as urban rooftops, vineyards, open-air marquees, and farm stays are also popular as they present extra dining and dancing space for guests.
2. Rustic theme
Nearly half of all 2021-23 weddings had some rustic elements, making it the most popular wedding theme yet. The style is wide-ranging and is not limited to the traditional vintage furniture and wagon wheels most of us are used to.
Think about beautiful vineyards, warehouses, heritage homesteads, cellar doors, and everything in between. Such venues can be matched with muted hues and earthly elements easily. Rustic elements add relaxing, laidback, nostalgic vibes and a strong sense of chill to the wedding. Your guests can enjoy some outdoor roast and band music for the after-party.
3. Traditional theme
Traditional weddings are those that have some classic, romantic vibes to them. It could include themes of a white wedding and the use of traditional venues such as a ballroom reception that follows a church ceremony.
Other popular traditional wedding venues include botanic gardens and art museums, private estates and luxury hotels, or Art Deco banquet halls and heritage buildings.
4. Bohemian theme
Boho themes reigned in 2024 and they don't show any signs of stopping. The Bohemian style borrows some chill, laid-back ideas from both outdoor and rustic themes. Boho style and design lean towards rich, polished colors and local music, food, flowers, and drinks.
Beach weddings, which are also super popular, borrow a lot from this theme. Other couples prefer restaurants, warehouses, wineries with accessible gardens or courtyards for their boho themes weddings.
5. Modern theme
Modern themes are truly stylish. They incorporate bold, bright colors with vibrant, festive vibes. Most couples choose highly polished, sleek, and minimalist venues with huge windows and some kind of loft-style.
The modern wedding comes with loads of polished fabric, remarkable installations, lots of candles, and many others. Most of the venues need to have modern lighting, high ceilings, bare wood beams, and concrete floor.
