A wedding theme can be devised on any budget: take, for example, a backyard wedding reception. These weddings can be full of life, vibrancy, elegance… but cost a fraction of a fancy reception. Check out the link on the side for backyard wedding ideas.

Brides devising outdoor wedding reception ideas can find that nature’s trees and flowers provide better decorations than any florist.

For other wedding theme ideas in the forest, use a wooden chest where guests can write small notes instead of a book. This wedding book idea is two fold: the chest will look great in the new house and you’ll likely keep it longer than a book. Use small bird houses as party favors—you can usually find mini ones at craft stores like Michael’s.

Winter Wedding Theme

Or, let’s say you want winter wedding themes for the big day in January. While you might think that there should be more to winter festivities than just snowflake wedding favors, few people actually have a true winter wonderland—why not give that to your guests?

Think about the following wedding theme ideas: use a fireplace at your venue (if possible) where people can make s’mores. Otherwise, most companies provide a fire pit if you opt for the smore bar. When looking at winter wedding dresses, I suggest going for a steel white dress like the one below instead of an ivory lace one above. Chandelier earrings are great for winter weddings, as they resemble snow fall.

If you don’t want blue and silver, try using accents of red or pink instead for a winter wedding bouquets. Seemingly warm colors, like the pink and orange roses, fit well! Iron candle holders give an impression of bare trees, but the light still provides warmth. Consider those for wedding table centerpieces ideas.
