Weddings don’t have to be traditional to be timeless.

It’s your day. Why not make it feel like your world? Whether you're a dreamer, a romantic, a sci-fi fan or just someone who wants something different, themed weddings allow you to create a celebration that's completely and beautifully you. And since it's May the 4th, we're starting with a little galactic inspiration—then travelling through elegance, fantasy, nostalgia, and a touch of dark romance.

These themes aren’t just about playing dress-up—they're about storytelling through style, setting, and soul.

May the 4th Be With You: A Sci-Fi Wedding That’s Out of This World

For couples who love space, storylines, and a touch of rebellion. Inspired by Star Wars, but with a broader sci-fi chic vibe, this wedding theme is sleek, starlit, and seriously cool—not a stormtrooper costume in sight (unless you want one).

Styling ideas:

  • Celestial colour palettes (deep navy, silver, cosmic purple)

  • Futuristic lighting, LED accents, and constellation backdrops

  • “Across the Stars” as your ceremony music

  • Star-map invitations and galaxy-inspired cocktails

  • Lightsaber exit tunnel? Always a win.

Bridgerton-Inspired Elegance

If you've ever dreamed of marrying in a garden surrounded by string quartets and Regency romance, this one’s for you. Think opulence, pastel tones, and a sprinkle of scandalous charm—Lady Whistledown would approve.

Styling ideas:

  • Soft florals in lilac, blush, and powder blue

  • Statement hairpieces, empire-line gowns, and gloves

  • Garden ceremony followed by a formal banquet

  • Live musicians playing modern hits à la string quartet

  • Love letters on parchment as guest keepsakes

Romantic Gothic Elegance

Moody, rich, and unapologetically romantic. Gothic doesn’t mean gloomy—it means drama, depth, and beauty in the shadows. This theme is for couples who dare to be bold, wear black, and walk into forever by candlelight.

Styling ideas:

  • Black wedding dress with lace or velvet

  • Dark florals: black dahlias, deep red roses, plum calla lilies

  • Candlelit ceremony in a heritage hall or forest at dusk

  • Wax-sealed vow books and antique silver accents

  • Soundtrack? A hauntingly beautiful piano or string trio

Disney-Inspired Wedding Moments

Disney tales are timeless, filled with romance, adventure, and a touch of magic. These stories offer distinct themes that can inspire a wedding filled with personality and style. Let’s explore a few elegant ways to incorporate Disney’s enchanting worlds into your special day.

A few elevated ideas to consider:

– Alice in Wonderland:A whimsical garden reception with long mismatched banquet tables, vintage teacups, and quirky signage: "We're All Mad Here", "This Way, That Way". Perfect for couples who love eccentricity with a touch of elegance.

– Moana:Island romance done naturally—tropical florals, ocean-inspired colour palettes, woven textures, and sunset ceremonies barefoot in the sand. Think soulful, earthy, and full of spirit.

– Tangled:Twinkling lights, floating lanterns, and soft lilac tones. Incorporate a live acoustic duo, lantern send-off, and wildflower-style bouquets for a dreamy, boho-luxe vibe.

Each concept can stand alone beautifully—just choose the one that feels right for your story.

Vintage Glamour

For the old souls and nostalgia lovers, a vintage-themed wedding brings timeless style and effortless elegance. Whether it's the roaring '20s, the mod '60s, or the romantic charm of mid-century modern, vintage weddings celebrate the beauty of the past—refined for today.

Styling ideas:

  • Typewriter guestbook station

  • Classic car for your arrival or exit

  • Gowns with lace, tea-length skirts, or gloves

  • A live jazz band or vinyl record DJ

  • Retro photo booth with antique props
