4 Inventive Wedding Themes For Modern Brides

November 10, 2021 Hannah Lomas

Weddings are not just a celebration of a couple’s commitment to one another. It’s also an occasion to celebrate them as people, along with all the things that make them who they are.

Of course, weddings have been a source of great anxiety in recent times. There has been much uncertainty about whether people can get hitched in the ways they’ve always imagined. While exchanging vows is the main priority, it still all goes to show how much of a difference a terrific wedding theme can make.

If your big day is looming, you may want to take a more ingenious approach to piece the big day together. Perhaps you want to play with more contemporary ideas also? Here are 4 inventive wedding themes for modern brides. 

The Minimalist Wedding

Minimalism can be quite modern; it reduces excess and affords greater control over things like managing waste and being eco-conscious. There’s also much room for being inventive, as the idea here is to do a lot with a little.

For a minimalist wedding, you’ll need to do the following:

·       Keep the guest list short – Guests are very much part of your wedding theme, from their numbers to how they dress. Your special day needs to feel intimate and exclusive for a minimalist vibe to resonate.

·       Prioritise simplicity – Wedding days can be famously complicated, but yours should be simple in all ways. Wedding invitations to decorations – it should all be presented immaculately and straightforwardly. A new colour scheme will also suffice.

·       Secure an unadorned venue – All you need is some shelter, and you’re ready to tie the knot! In the end, you don’t even need an exquisite backdrop either.

Your attitude counts for a lot here. Remember that minimalist weddings work best when everyone is entirely on board with the idea, not when it’s solely a compromise to save some money. Adopt that all-important ‘less is more’ mentality, and your wedding will have an exceptional kind of magic.

Luxury Glamping Weddings

The woods may not seem inventive and modern at first. However, the event you host within them certainly can be, and can even carry an air of finer living.

Hosting your wedding in woodland can provide a wholly immersive experience. Of course, people are developing their affinity for the environment these days. Many homeowners have even left cityscapes in favour of rural countryside. Today, loving nature and wanting escape and freedom from the trappings of urban life are, quite suitably, modern.

It’s easy to satisfy your creative appetite here with exemplary service at your disposal. For instance, Yurtel’s accommodation has a range of luxury canvas structures and bespoke camps for an informal yet stylish event surrounded by fresh air and lush greenery. They cater to weddings of all sizes and can organise champagne breakfasts, wild banquets, campfire cocktails, and so much more. An unforgettable wedding day surely awaits.

Your Favourite Story Wedding

Marriage is the celebration of you and your spouse’s story. Many couples choose to celebrate other favourite stories of there’s at this time too.

Think of the modern cinematic franchises or literary works that resonate with you today. Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Lord of the Rings, Frozen – whatever the thing might be, if it’s changed your life, it’s worthy of inclusion on your wedding day.

Of course, the creative potential is limitless here in terms of costume and decoration. Try to pick something that you and your partner love equally as much and are wholly devoted to. That way, you can collaborate in equal parts and go all-out with your fandom. Fit things around the most modern take on the story you love, and flesh things out from there.

Consider that any kids attending your wedding will likely have a great time with the theme you choose. Often weddings can be dull and dreary for them, but if they’re kept entertained, then there’ll be no sulking faces insight. If you need tips on being inventive and appealing to contemporary interests, appealing to a younger demographic is always a good idea. 

A Social Media Wedding

A wedding that’s themed around social media might seem crass at first. However, this type of arrangement certainly has charm.

For example, you could create your very own hashtag for your special day. Before guests arrive, you could inform them of it and politely request they use it when posting images and videos of your big day online. After that, you and your spouse can go through them all, reflecting on the memories and picking out your favourites.

You could also Livestream your wedding day for guests who are further afield and unable to attend. Others could ‘live Tweet’ the occasion too. The theme is a great excuse to keep everyone connected, even if some of you are apart. Everyone can have a presence on your wedding day.

Few things represent modernity as well as social media. So long as people aren’t constantly on their actual phones for something better to do, this type of wedding can be a pleasant surprise for many.
