Like many other to-be-weds, you may be hoping to express yourselves and tell the story of your relationship through a theme. If

Love is in the air

Romance is always a good idea for a wedding theme and fairy lights are crucial for nailing that loved up vibe. Will you adorn the aisle with delicate lanterns and pillar candles? Install a glittering canopy to shine down on your dancefloor? Or go totally on-trend with a funky lighting wall?

Snap happy

Personalisation is everything right now and photographs are a sure-fire way to be all over that. You can capture the moment in lots of creative ways, from displaying pics of yourselves through the years and showcasing loved up couples from generations gone by to letting your guests get in on the action with a fun photo booth. Create your own (prop shopping alert!) or get one of the northeast’s fantastic photo booth suppliers to share their magical ideas with you.

Back to nature

Bringing the outside in for a wedding theme certainly isn’t new but there’s a particular focus on rustic, natureinspired table settings this year. Think wooden plates, simple cutlery and wildflower-focused centrepieces. Complete the look by incorporating burlap, twine and moss in your décor.

Sweet nostalgia

Why not add a touch of vintage charm and whimsy with a retrothemed sweetie or ice cream cart? Not only do they offer a fun visual element, it’s a great interactive experience for your guests. Give them a trip down memory lane with tangy sherbet lemons and metrelong astrobelts or keep it cool with a classic Coke float! ♥

Eco-friendliness

As more of you embrace sustainability in life, you replicate this in wedding planning. Think reusable/biodegradable tableware, locally sourced food, and environmentally-friendly favours. Keep waste down with digital invitations (cut paper use while still making a stylish statement with the Northeast’s talented stationers) and decorating your venue with potted plants – they can be taken home by guests or repurposed in your own garden.

Cultural fusion

Are you and your other half from different backgrounds? You could create a truly distinctive celebration by blending traditions from your respective heritages. Consider outfits, music, dance, food, as well as meaningful rituals and customs from both backgrounds. These can be weaved into your ceremony and reception, providing guests with a rich and culturally diverse experience that reflects your lives coming together forever.

Starry night

For couples that find solace in the beauty of the night sky, a celestial-themed wedding can be an enchanting way to celebrate your love. Draw inspiration from the stars, planets and cosmic elements and you’ll create a dreamy, romantic atmosphere. Where to start? Colours! Look at a palette that reflects the hues of the cosmos (deep blues, purples and shimmering metallics like gold, silver or copper) and work out how you can incorporate them into your invitations, table linens and outfits for a cohesive look. ♥ www.jonathanaddie.com
