Airbnb
The theme: Eco-conscious
The colors: White, green, rust
The flowers: Sword ferns, hellebores, anemones
The details: Traveling and living sustainably are two of your biggest passions, so it only makes sense to incorporate them into your wedding day.

You can create an earthy, eclectic wedding theme by incorporating things like rattan accents, potted plants as decor (totally reusable after the big day), and repurposing one-of-a-kind souvenirs you’ve collected throughout your adventures. Host a micro-wedding or elope to reduce your environmental impact even more.

Draper James
The theme: Classic with a twist
The colors: Navy and violet
The flowers: Peonies, forget-me-nots, pieris japonica
The details: You love to balance timeless pieces with unexpected details to make a look that’s totally your own. The essence of classic wedding style may be understated, but it’s not boring! A ballroom or tented wedding reception venue sets the scene for an elegant reception, but don’t forget the personal touches. Along with classic blue, incorporate vibrant pops of color, whimsical prints, and monogrammed wedding decor for a Southern chic theme.

West Elm
The theme: Industrial
The colors: Charcoal and apricot
The flowers: Smilax vines, freesias, Juliet roses
The details: You’re drawn to a clean, streamlined style with slight vintage undertones, and an industrial wedding theme lets you combine both. Edgy details like Edison bulbs and metal marais chairs are easy ways to enhance an industrial space—but remember to soften the look by using fresh greenery, fragrant flowers, and subtle accents of color.

Mejuri
The theme: Minimalist
The colors: Gold and pearlescent white
The flowers: Lunaria, white calla lilies, dried sun palms
The details: A neutral color palette with iridescent and metallic accents exudes luxury and sophistication while also reflecting the minimalist aesthetic you love. By limiting your wedding color palette to monochromatic tones, you can experiment with different textures and materials to add visual interest. Decorative elements like vellum, white pillar candles, and iridescent mercury glass are just a few minimalist wedding ideas to try. And don’t forget about the fashion—fabrics like crepe and silk are must-haves for any minimalist wedding dress.

You’re less concerned about the decor and more concerned about the menu—so focus on surprising your guests with fusion dishes, late-night snacks, and of course, a fabulous wedding cake or dessert spread.
