Wedding Themes We Love! | Part Three | San Diego Catering

Here we are again for Part Three of our

“Wedding Themes We Love!” Series

 

 

Romantic

In Part One of this series, we mentioned the Formal/Traditional Themed wedding as the most often mentally pictured for a wedding.

If Formal the first, thanks to Hollywood, the Romantic Theme would be the close second.

This theme is most natural to blend with others, and frankly, there are very few weddings that wouldn’t fall under the Romantic spectrum.

The defining characteristic of this theme?

All the florals, bigger is better, especially in loose, wild arrangements as though plucked from an enchanted forest.

Everything is in pastels like cream, blush, lilac, sage, and cornflower blue.

No hard edges or defined lines.

Like walking in a dream, everything is soft and flowing with a life of its own.

Warm glowing hanging lights, like the classic Market or cheerful Christmas lights, add to the ambiance.

Plunge your guests into an ethereal atmosphere where magic seems closer than ever, and they feel like they’re part of your fairy tale!

This theme can fit any dining style due to its versatility! So take a closer look at your guests and their needs instead.

Have a reasonably young crowd excited to dance? Go with a “Moving Style.”

Are you looking for something more traditional for your fairytale wedding? The Seated or Buffet dining option is more your scene!

 

 

Whimsical

This theme is for the unconventional couple looking to embrace the unexpected on their special day, hoping to wow their guests!

If your mood is “Don’t take life so seriously, this is a party,” then this is the theme for you!

Mismatched decor works well for this idea, so go wacky, unique, and eccentric for your big day.

The bottom line is always to think bright, colorful, and happy!

If you and your partner are both a little quirky, be proud and let it reflect in your centerpieces, signs, everything!

Due to its young, fun-loving, casual, unconventional nature, going with a “Moving” or Small Plate Style dining for this theme seems like the best fit.

A Buffet is a fun option for this theme, too, if wedding guests would feel more comfortable casually sitting to chat throughout the night.

 

 

Alternative

On the opposite end of the color spectrum, a couple doesn’t have to be bright and cheery to be unconventional!

No need for sunglasses inside to battle the neon aesthetic like in the theme above.

This theme tends to feel more formal with a nod towards modern class and sophistication.

It’s perfect for the offbeat couple who are looking for something broody and beautiful.

Darker, jeweled tones promote a moody color palette that can be just as romantic as the pastels!

We love the idea of smokey grays embellished in champagne or wheat.

Or perhaps a palette inspired by the sky at night calls to your heart!

We can see Small Plate or “Moving” Style dining perfect for this theme, but with its formal air, a Seated dinner could also be a smart choice!
