Once you have chosen Broadoaks as your Lake District wedding venue, then you can choose the theme of your wedding. Choosing a theme for your wedding can be tough, but once decided, everything else from flowers, outfits, favours, to decorations, and invitations will quickly fall into place.
How to Choose Your Wedding Theme?
Many brides and grooms have had ideas for years about what theme their wedding will have, whereas other, perhaps, have too many ideas, so when the time comes to choose, it can be difficult. Remember, the wedding theme can be as elaborate or as simple as you want it to be.
We have some ideas for you to choose from, but here are a few tips on finding the best theme for you:
- Choose what suits you as a couple, even if it’s on the ‘unusual’ side. With enough time and preparation, you can pull it together!
- Think about what matters most to you. You might want to choose an outdoor wedding if you have a close connection with nature, in which case, ‘natural’ can be a theme to work with. Or, you might be into food, so that could be your starting point. Or you may even feel strongly about which colours suit you best, in which case, you can pick your colour scheme and go from there.
- Look online for inspiration. Pinterest is a great place for ideas, with thousands of ideas to suit every theme under the sun.
