Many modern couples are choosing to do away with traditional wedding themes in lieu of their favourite movies, books or music. These themes are deeply personal as they represent a big part of your childhoods or relationship together. It can be hard to incorporate such themes without losing the romance and formality of the day, so to help here’s a few examples of how to include our favourite alternative wedding themes into your nuptials. We’ve given a subtle and obvious option for each so you can decide just how involved you want the theme to be in your day. 

 

 

Harry Potter

Subtle: Add a little Dorothy glamour, and a pop of colour, by pairing some ruby slippers with your wedding dress. There’s no need for them to look the same as the originals, any good pair of red heels will capture the feel and fun your looking for as you ‘click’ the night away.  

Obvious: Instead of a white or red carpet, make a yellow brick road for your aisle. This whimsical touch will look fab in pictures and will really add a touch of personality to your ceremony.
