How To Choose a Wedding Reception Theme & Style


Ah, Weddings are all about decisions, decisions, decisions!

Ceremony aside, what theme have you chosen for your reception?

From black and white to just plain white, there is an assortment of settings destined for you and we have the perfect guide to choosing a Wedding theme that will suit your style.

Let’s get down to business with these crucial tips and hints.

The Venue determines the theme

When a venue is selected, a theme is selected too, unless you choose a completely blank canvas.

Check the surroundings, what you decide needs to work with what is already situated at the venue. If you pick a castle with red drapes, then gold and brass candlesticks and cutlery might just work.

When choosing a venue that is fairly new, the modern themes are endless. Sure, we enjoy a black and white affair, but with a global colour palette at your disposal, could wild forest, summer floral or pretty in pink be an option?

Creating a mood

We’re not thinking Disney World, but choosing the right mood with the right setting will create a fantastic ambiance for your guests.

If you yearn for a natural and colourful theme, add balloons, flowers and anything vibrant to create that fun and joyful atmosphere. 

Not your thing? Modern and classic themes are always a winner. If you love glass and sterling silverware combined with crisp white table settings, then this option will make your day sparkle. Adding place cards and ushers will really get your guests talking!
