Beach themes are a popular choice for couples who love the ocean and want a relaxed and airy atmosphere for their special day. Although this theme naturally links with a venue by the ocean, this theme’s décor elements can be incorporated in any venue of choice.
Use hues involving sandy beiges, muted greens, and ocean blues to mimic a summer holiday. You can also incorporate natural driftwood, sand, dried flowers, and natural lighting throughout your scenery.

7. Winter Wonderland
If you're considering a wedding in Winter (especially if it’s snowing), this theme would fit extremely well with the gorgeous and cool toned natural scene. Even if it isn’t snow-filled, you can imitate snow with white confetti and soft white décor, and play with decadent velvets and faux fur for décor and bridal outfits.
