How to Make Your Wedding a Magical Day
August 25, 2022
Picking a personal theme for your wedding is a great place to start. Once you have made the decision, you can focus on selecting a venue, florals, and decorations that will tie everything together. Rather than settle for the same old arrangements, the wedding theme you select will guide your selection of just about everything from colors and patterns to the food you plan to serve your guests at the reception. Whether your venue will be indoors or outside, whatever space you choose your visions can be brought to life as guests are transported to a special place to celebrate your happily ever after.
If you want your wedding to be memorable, creating a cohesive feel for all aspects of your special day will require making decisions and taking actions well ahead of time. Couples seem to be looking for much more than the traditional church ceremony, especially when that doesn’t suit their style or beliefs. Many of the themes that duos are opting for today are actually themes with historic origins that are filled with stylistic traditions. Now that it is time for you to start planning your nuptials, we’ve researched some of the most popular types of wedding themes to help you achieve a totally magical atmosphere.
Themes for Magical Weddings
Although a wedding is usually centered around some theme, the details do not have to bust a couple’s budget. To achieve a magical wedding, you need only to create a fun-filled romantic atmosphere that is as magical for your wedding party as it is for your guests. But remember, not all magical weddings have to be filled with pixie dust, below you will find some terrific ideas for a modern wedding theme:
Enchanted Wedding – What prince or princess would not want to have an enchanted wedding theme that still has all the touch and feel of an elegant ceremony. With an enchanted wedding, it doesn’t matter if you are envisioning a trip through Fantasyland or carrying out a theme based on your favorite movie, the wedding can reflect a couple’s most whimsical mood. Plus, you will not have to physically make a climb to exchange vows on a snowy mountaintop or deep in a tropical jungle. In fact, you don’t have to be outside at all to pull off an enchanted theme.
Bohemian Wedding – If you don’t see yourself as a fairy princess, consider a Bohemian-themed wedding day. Also called a Boho wedding, the theme might be perfect to bring out the free-spirited hippie-chic inside you by choosing an eclectic palette of rustic, vintage, natural, and moody colors. A relaxed setting can be created for a wooded, desert, or mountainous wedding venue. At a Bohemian Wedding, you can set the tone for a magical day by including your favorite furry friends or incorporating kids into your hippie-chic ceremony.
Celtic Wedding – Have you ever envisioned riding side-saddled into the sunset on horseback following your nuptials? A Celtic Wedding (or wedding of other historic origin) can set the stage for including all the traditions and ceremonies in a more natural environment. The Celts were an Indo-European group that lived according to nature and made no distinction between the importance of men and women to their society, or clan. Although a Celtic Wedding was never viewed as a religious ceremony, it is a sacred celebration of guests testifying to the free union of two people.
Garden Wedding – Even though you don’t have a traditional garden out back (most of us don’t), a causal garden wedding for your venue is one of the easiest options for a couple wanting a casual wedding theme. Moreover, a garden theme can be tweaked to present a rustic mood or to create a more traditional feel. Garden weddings are the ideal theme for incorporating a wedding arch filled with greens and flowers. In fact, a garden wedding is the perfect place to build an enchanted arched walkway that everyone can exit thorough after the romantic exchange of vows.
Off-the-Grid Wedding – An Off-the-Grid wedding theme is typically inspired by a natural setting or a couple’s special place in the great outdoors. A rustic wedding theme can incorporate many floral and woodsy accents, as well as decorative details that evoke a free-spirited flair. In fact, many couples choose a theme to match the flavor of their unique wedding venue. Off-the-Grid weddings have become very popular in a post-pandemic world because of the warm, cozy, and laid-back feel that can take advantage of any striking natural setting.
Druid (Handfasting) Wedding – A Druid wedding, sometimes called a pagan wedding, is a spiritual ceremony that is open to all faiths and beliefs as well as non-believers. Plus, as a tradition ceremony, it has the same sacrality and respect as any other religious wedding. Druid weddings are full of spiritual meanings and evoke ancient feelings that tie a couple’s union to the root elements of life (fire, water, earth and air). Handfasting represents the duo’s intimate commitment of support, love and honor and provides a special space to pronounce one’s personal vows.
Deconstructed Luxury Wedding – Formal celebrations like a traditional wedding have become less lavish over the years. Nowadays it is all about putting fun before fussiness. While the event can still include fine details, a deconstructed luxury wedding combines the elements of a formal union with a more relaxed setting. A deconstructed luxury wedding ceremony can benefit from creating a magical space where all eyes at the wedding are focused on the couple during their exchange of vows. The less formal setting allows the duo to curate inspiration based on personal preferences.
Although it may take a little extra effort, almost any wedding theme can be creatively reflected in the wedding party’s attire, the décor, and even the wedding cake or food served at the reception. In some ways, the pandemic was a blessing in disguise as couples had to find more innovative ways to allow friends and family to also celebrate their special day. This is the need that led to the Hybrid Wedding that allows a couple's guests to share in the same celebrations whether in-person or online.

Like other hybrid events that evolved during the pandemic, a hybrid wedding combines all the elements of attending in person by livestreaming ever moment of an event.
