Holiday weddings are a great way to have a little fun and add a little color to the usual white and black wedding scheme. A Christmas wedding can be a beautiful affair decorated with Christmas trees, colorful lights, holly berries, candy canes, and snowflakes. You can still wear the traditional wedding gown, bridesmaid dresses, and tuxedos, but add a little Christmas twist by incorporating poinsettias into the bouquets or red and green cummerbunds to the tuxedos. You can decorate the cake with ornaments, candy canes, mistletoe, and a beautiful angel or snowflake cake topper. For the reception you can serve traditional holiday foods on gold plates, decorate cutout Christmas cookies and use them as place cards, and have strolling carolers sing all your favorite Christmas songs during dinner service.

Beach wedding themes are very popular for the couple who doesn’t want to bother with all those formal and traditional wedding plans. A casual beach wedding can be very romantic, casual, and fun for everyone, just as long as it doesn’t rain! You can incorporate this relaxed beach theme into a more traditional wedding reception, however, by adding some beach related touches. Guest tables can be decorated with shells, surfboards, flip-flops, dolphins, Hawaiian leis, or even fishing gear if you like. Many cake toppers come in beach related themes, such as seashells, boats, or a bride and groom strolling barefoot on the sand. Rather than formal attire, have your guests wear their brightest and boldest Hawaiian shirts and floral dresses to really capture that beach or tropical feel.

Many people choose to elope and get married quickly in Las Vegas, but this doesn’t mean you can’t have a large wedding reception when you get home. You can carry this Las Vegas theme into your wedding reception by incorporating all the sights and sounds of that vibrant desert city. Create that Las Vegas feeling with a red, white, and black theme using playing cards, dice, and poker chips. You can decorate the tables like blackjack, poker, or roulette tables with fun and whimsical centerpieces of hearts, spades, diamonds, and clubs. For extra fun, rent several casino style tables and hire professional dealers to recreate that Las Vegas feel for your guests by allowing them to gamble with fake money in order to win fabulous prizes.

If you and your groom are into cars, you might want to have a vintage car wedding. Hiring several old and fabulous cars from the 30s, 40s, 50s, or 60s is a great way to show everyone in town that you just got married in style. Have the entire wedding party driven to the wedding reception in this unique and eye-catching convoy. This is a great way to get the groom and groomsmen into the planning of the wedding and you can encourage guests to drive their collectible cars to the wedding and you can even have a little car show outside the reception hall. There are several different types of car related cake toppers available and you can decorate the tables with car parts, tools, model cars, miniature tires, or a racing stripe theme. Or you can choose a particular era that goes along with the style of cars you rented, such as the big band era of the 30s, World War II era of the 40s, sock hop era of the 50s, or flower child era of the 60s.

Finally, there are some other wedding themes you want to take into consideration: Halloween, princess, black and white, sports team, historical theme, garden theme, ethnic/cultural, butterflies, hearts, vintage, destination.
