The wedding theme is a bit like the common thread running through your day. It gives your celebration an identity, reflects your personality and helps to create harmony between the decorations, outfits, stationery and even the overall atmosphere. But with so many possibilities, how do you make the right choice? Here are our tips for choosing your wedding theme.
1- Draw inspiration from your history
Your wedding is, above all, your love story.
- Did you meet while travelling? Why not come up with a theme based on your favourite destinations?
- Are you in love with Provence? Vineyards, lavender and olive trees could become your symbols.
- Do you share a common passion (cinema, music, gastronomy, etc.)? This could be subtly reflected in your decorative details.
The most beautiful theme is often the one that tells something about you.
2- Consider the reception venue
The venue plays a major role. An elegant château such as La Beaumetane naturally inspires a chic and romantic theme, but can also host a bohemian or rustic wedding thanks to its lush green surroundings.
Let the venue guide you rather than trying to transform it completely. Harmony often comes from combining what already exists with your own desires.
3- Choose a colour scheme
Sometimes, starting with a colour palette is easier than looking for a fixed theme.
- Pastel shades for a romantic atmosphere.
- Bright, sunny colours for a summer wedding.
- Neutral and golden tones for an elegant, timeless atmosphere.
These colours will guide your choices of flowers, stationery and decorations without limiting you to a style that is too rigid.
4- Think simplicity and consistency
A successful theme is not measured by the number of details, but by consistency. A few well-chosen elements are enough to create an atmosphere:
- The invitations set the tone.
- The floral decorations and tables extend the atmosphere.
- The outfits (dress, suit, accessories) add the finishing touch.
It is better to have a subtle and elegant theme than an overly busy mix.
5- Give free rein to your desires
You don’t have to follow trends. Above all, your wedding should reflect who you are. Do you like classic elegance? Go for it. Do you dream of a colourful and original wedding? Be bold.
The right theme is one that makes you smile when you think about it and puts your guests at ease.
In summary
Choosing your wedding theme means finding the right balance between:
- Your history and tastes,
- The reception venue,
- A harmonious colour palette,
- Consistent details that are not overly elaborate.
And above all… remember that the most beautiful theme of your wedding will always be the two of you.
