Tips for a successful themed wedding
Decoration, a crucial element
It’s not just about a dress code, but about immersing yourself in the theme of your wedding. Decoration is a super important element, as every decorative detail contributes to reinforcing the identity of the theme you have chosen.
Don’t hesitate to opt for an immersive decoration, that’s what will make all the difference! Play with the lights, the menu design, the centerpieces and choose a color palette that corresponds to your theme. A well thought-out and coherent decoration contributes to making every moment of the day special and unique.
It all starts with the invitations
The announcement of the theme begins with the invitations you will send to your guests. From the beginning, integrate them into your universe!
A themed menu cannot be missing
Delight your guests with a thematic and memorable culinary experience! A well-designed menu can not only complement the theme, but also add an original and fun touch to your celebration. Select dishes that correspond to the theme of your wedding, make your guests travel with authentic recipes!
But that’s not all! Add a playful dimension by naming the dishes and cocktails on the menu in relation to your theme – use puns or funny references to make the menu even more memorable.
Anticipation above all
We know how stressful it can be to prepare a wedding as unique as this, which is why we advise you to opt for anticipation. An advance preparation ensures that all the elements of the wedding, from the decoration to the guests’ attire, are perfectly integrated into the chosen theme.
Especially if you intend to organize activities or games. On the one hand, you will have more time to think of personal and creative touches that make your wedding truly special. And on the other hand, by anticipating, your guests will have more time to choose appropriate outfits that are completely in line with the theme.
