Themed weddings have experienced a significant surge in popularity over the past decade, thanks to the social media platform Pinterest, where individuals share ideas with one another. A theme can range from something subtle, such as a color scheme, to a true Great Gatsby extravaganza. Selecting a theme that aligns with your personalities can therefore be quite a challenge.

Blushing Bride
Color master Pantone has declared rose quartz the color of 2016. So if you want to be totally on trend, you can transform your wedding into an ethereal paradise with blush, gold, and ivory tones. Think peonies, gold accents in your accessories, and pink champagne. There are endless possibilities for giving your party a timeless look with the hottest color of the moment.
Love Fest
Do you love summer and want to carry that summer feeling through to your wedding? Why not get married at your own summer festival? Draw inspiration from your favorite memories to evoke the atmosphere. Funny signs, flower garlands, maybe even tipis and tents. Not going far enough? Personalize the ceremony with you as the main act on the main stage: The Bride and Groom and Their Vows.
Monochrome
If you prefer sleek and symmetrical, then monochrome or black and white is for you. Only for stylish couples. A black tie with a strict black or white dress code ensures the theme is perfect down to the last detail. As a finishing touch, consider white roses, top hats, and lots of textiles such as floor-to-ceiling curtains.
Greenery
Do you have a heart for nature? Find a beautiful location in a forest or create your own temporary jungle with palm leaves, ivy triumphal arches, and green tablecloths. A fairytale forest to celebrate your big day, without all the nasty insects, but with all your friends who are happy to come and celebrate with you.
Astronomical
If your love is out of this world, then a cosmic theme might be just the thing for you. By holding the reception in an observatory, you're sure to blow your guests away. Or hang lights everywhere in a hall or garden to mimic the stars. To keep it from getting too scientific, you can hire a fortune teller. Fun guaranteed.
Show Off
Are you both proud as peacocks? Organize a peacock-themed wedding and decorate the hall in bright colors such as bright blue, royal purple, and jade for a touch of splendor and opulence. Use the colors to bring your venue to life and decorate with beautiful peacock feathers. Subtle, but just a little bit more.
Sparks Fly
Turn your party into the brightest night of the year by making everything sparkle. Finally, you have an excuse to cover all your guests in glitter, make everything shine, and end the evening with a grand fireworks display.
Rustic Chic
One of the most popular themes at the moment is rustic ceremonies. Think wooden barns, farmland, candlesticks, and lots of homemade items. The challenge here is to find the right balance between rustic and classy, but you're sure to score points with your guests with this very personal style. A lifestyle to dream of, even.
Paper flowers
Anyone who sold handmade flowers on the beach during the summer knows what we're talking about. On the one hand, it's one of the most nostalgic memories for many women, and on the other hand, it's a way for creative types to indulge their passion. This is your chance to literally craft your wedding yourself. Use different types of paper, from papier-mâché to origami for the bridal bouquet. If you want to make even more of an impression, you can even cover an entire wall with paper flowers or place small works of art here and there. The result is a very unique setting full of art and personality that will be talked about for a long time to come.
Roaring 20s
Ever since Leonardo DiCaprio and Baz Luhrmann joined forces to film The Great Gatsby, based on the book by F. Scott Fitzgerald, everyone has been eager to throw their own extravagant party. Go all vintage with art deco invitations, chapters that remind you of the suffragettes, and don't forget the epic champagne towers.
