WED In STYLE — Wedding Themes 101

15+ themes for intimate, micro weddings

True love conquers all — even though the world is facing an unprecedented disaster, a COVID-19 pandemic; our lovebirds have proven nothing can stop them from getting hitched. For those who have decided to brave it all and have an intimate wedding of their dreams, we have curated a list of the most trending wedding themes that you can especially incorporate in your “Micro-wedding”- Yes, you read that right. A micro-wedding is as transparent in meaning as the two words making it up, micro and wedding. It is an intimate wedding with a guest list of 50 or fewer people – in other words, your only option during the lockdown.

But first, what is a wedding theme and why do you need one?

A wedding theme could be described as an idea or sentiment that is showcased throughout your wedding. It could be inspired by anything ranging from your first dance to your favourite movie or just a theme that you think aptly defines your relationship. Why should you need one? Well, having a wedding theme really helps you narrow down the direction of your decorations, venue style, attire, colour palette, cuisine, entertainment and more.

When choosing a theme, you need to make sure it feels personal, it’s unique and it’s got the wow factor in it. Who said intimate weddings couldn’t be swoon-worthy? With the uninvited guest around for a while, yup – the virus, micro weddings could just become the new norm. Plus, not to forget, it’s easy on your pockets in every way.

So, with all safety precautions in place, a whimsical wedding with perhaps a hand sanitiser station and only the closest of kin, let us dive into the perfect themes for your unusual yet perfect intimate wedding.

3. Be one with Nature Theme

This one’s one of our absolute favourites because it cares for two – the environment and you! Nothing could represent your pure love more beautifully than mother nature’s bounties in their purest forms. Think twines, and flowers of every kind. Incorporate them into your wedding dress too, feel like the princess/prince that you are. Go eco-friendly with your cutlery, old-fashioned banana leaves for plates and bamboo-based wedding favours. Recycled things used the right way could make up for the most beautiful decor too. So, get your creative side going, for nothing could be more holistic. If the weather allows, choose an outdoor venue during the day to save on energy.

A backyard wedding could include a lot of natural aspects like florals and hanging pots or you could amp it up with a decor and colour combo of your choice. This one’s only limited by your own imagination.
