Arun Bablani of Vivaah Wedding, offers advice to couples on choosing a wedding theme
I am hoping to have a destination wedding with a theme. Will the location and climate affect the wedding theme that I have planned?
To answer your question in a word, yes, the location and climate of your wedding venue can considerably impact the wedding theme and overall planning.
For starters, the location itself can inspire the theme of your wedding. For instance, if you’re getting married on a beach, a tropical or bohemian theme might be a perfect fit. If your venue is a rustic barn, a vintage or country theme could work well.
It is vital that you consider the natural surroundings and architectural features of the venue when choosing your theme.
The climate and surroundings on the other hand can influence your colour choices. For example, if your wedding is in a lush garden during spring or summer, you might opt for bright and vibrant colours.
For a winter wedding in a snowy location, you may prefer cooler tones or even incorporate seasonal elements like silver and white.
Additionally, the local climate can affect the availability of certain flowers and decorations. If you have your heart set on specific flowers that are out of season or not native to the area, they might be harder to find and more expensive to import. Consider using local or easily importable seasonal flowers and décor to enhance the overall ambience. It is important to keep the guests attending your celebration comfortable by ensuring that the venue’s climate is suitable for them. Extreme heat or cold can affect the wellbeing of your attendees. So provide amenities like fans, coolers and heaters or blankets depending on the conditions.
In short, the location and climate of your wedding venue should influence your wedding theme and planning decisions. Embrace the unique characteristics of the setting to create a cohesive and memorable wedding experience that complements the surroundings and ensures the comfort of you and your guests.
