Themed Weddings

So you may have already decided that a traditional wedding is not for you, and you fancy something a little more unique?

In this section we take a look a various themes for your wedding: historical , cultural and seasonal . Of course, there are many, many other themes you could choose from, the only limit is your imagination!

If you are considering planning an alternative celebration, do think about your guests - a wedding that is too unusual may also make them feel uncomfortable, unless they have been warned in advance. Make sure your invitation reflects the style of celebrations, or enclose a note with the invitation if you are planning something very different from the norm.

You can incorporate the theme of your wedding into many areas, such as:

• invitations, reply cards, menus and order of service
• the location of the ceremony and reception
• the ceremony itself - music, hymns, readings, vows and blessings
• bridal wear - style and colour
• food and drink - consider period, ethnic and regional foods
• decoration colour scheme
• possible costumes for guests, or serving/waiting staff and hired performers
• transport - think about unique vehicles, such as a bus, or a coach and four
