Weddings are a big deal for everyone, especially if it is your wedding. Planning a proper wedding takes a lot of time, money, and effort. 

However, if you want your wedding to be one-of-a-kind, then that means you have to put in some extra effort and the first step to do that is to pick a wedding theme. 

Not only will having a theme make your wedding more unique, but it will also make the wedding planning easier for you.

If you are unsure about how to select a theme for your wedding then here are some tips to get you started. 

 

Taking into account yours and your partner’s common interests is usually the first step to take when trying to choose a theme for your wedding. Both of you can have a brainstorming session where you try to come up with mutual interests.

Once you have a list of interests, you can then work with one of the interests to craft a special theme. For example, if you both love flowers, you can decide to have a floral themed wedding. 

 

Work with your budget. It is very important to keep this in mind when you are choosing a wedding theme. Some themes cost more money than others, and so when you are choosing your theme, you have to be sure to pick one that fits within your budget.

As with other parts of wedding planning, it is imperative to keep your budget in mind when selecting a theme so that you do not spend beyond your means.

Your wedding location can also give you ideas about what your wedding theme could be like. For example, if you are getting married at the beach, then it only makes sense that your wedding is beach themed.

Yet another way to select a wedding theme is to consider family culture and tradition. For example, if you or your spouse is Yoruba, then you could decide to have a wedding centred around Yoruba culture, e.g an A  dire themed wedding.

You can take an online wedding quiz. If you are still stumped about picking a wedding theme, then you can simply take an online wedding quiz to help you figure out what your theme should be.

The quiz takes into consideration your interests, personality, style, etc, and gives you theme suggestions. 

These tips will help you to pick the perfect and unique theme for your wedding.
