How do I pick a wedding theme?

Having a wedding theme is a great way to personalize your wedding. It will help you incorporate your personalities in nearly every aspect of planning, from the look of your invitations to the shape of your wedding cake. Just like having a specific color scheme, choosing a theme can make your wedding reception and ceremony feel more cohesive, and help you show off your personal couple style.

Whether carried out through the entire occasion or just the reception, themes can be a lot of fun. Some things to take into consideration when picking your wedding theme include: your favorite places or things, a certain decade or era, the season, a holiday, or even the wedding location itself.
