1. Since we both love the sea, sand, corals, everything that’s related to the beach, we’ve chosen to have a beach theme on our wedding day.

2. We’re dreaming of a simple, rustic themed wedding on a floating raft but since we’re thinking SUMMER, I think a summer vineyard wedding in the Balkans will be the bomb.

3. Our wedding will have a mixed Arabian charm and South African surf laid back feel! We will Braai (barbecue) with our closest friends at a Saadiyat Villa… we originally got engaged in July on Saadiyat beach and it has a special place in both of our hearts because of this.

4. Our Philippine Wedding will have a combination of an autumn and rustic theme. It will be held at an open garden with a lagoon in the background. It will be simple yet solemn and memorable.

5. Our theme will be ‘Midnight Frost”. It’s a combination of starry night and winter. It can be indoors or outdoors – for outdoors you can channel midnight by hanging string lights, and the decoration will winter-inspired like frosted twigs, snowflakes and crystals. For indoors, we’d have ceiling drapings in dark blue fabric before hanging string lights to create an illusion of the sky with stars on in.

6. We are going for a black and white themed wedding where everything is black and white and the guests wear black and white. I would wear wear a red dress and my fiancé would wear a navy blue suit with a red bow tie!

7. Our theme will be ‘Mardi Gras’. There’s nothing as fun as a carnival theme!

8. Our wedding will have a magical theme! As magical as the love story we created.

9. Our theme is ‘Flames of Love’ – the whole venue (it is outdoor) will be filled with only candles… centerpieces, kosha, venue decoration.. evvvverything!

10. I want my theme to be desert inspired with hot air all balloons around.

11. Since I am a civil engineer by profession I would like to have ‘Engineering’ themed wedding. New and unique.

12. We’re having an ‘Indian theme’, that includes Punjabi men playing the drums (dhol), Indian dance performances, a singer to sing for the couple and the distribution of jasmine flowers to the guests.

13. We would like to have a big royal themed wedding with old fabrics, heavy golden chairs and marble tables. It would be a luxurious theme with a big hall with a high ceiling and tall candles.

14. We’re having a ‘Great Gatsby’ color scheme – bright white, champagne and rose gold and feathers instead of flowers and a blanket fairy lights hanging from the sky!

15. The theme is simple as this – all white which means white roses, tuxedos, white wedding dress, etc. I think white as a color is the most powerful in the world and symbolises love and peace.

16. We’re having a fairy tale wedding theme. Why? Because I met my fiancé like in a fairy tale… I met him like my knight and shining armor.

17. Our wedding theme would be ‘Skyscraper’. I want the ceremony to be held in the air, we’ll all be doing sky diving. It would be so much fun and exciting.

18. Our wedding theme would be a ‘Whimsical Forest Wedding’ with lots of gorgeous greenery to bring an elegant and natural feel to our big day.
