The theme is the thread that brings your special day together, creating a unique occasion that will live long in the fond memories of you and your guests.
Think of your wedding venue as a blank canvas, and our decorations and wedding favours as your brush with which to create sophisticated and glamorous wedding themes. You need a theme which is befitting of such an important moment in your life, and so UK Wedding Favours aims to provide you with everything you need to make that happen.
Read on to find out more about some of the most popular themes for UK weddings, and to get the lowdown on how to recreate them for your big day. Creating an idyllic and carefully-crafted wedding theme couldn't be simpler.
Vintage
Whether it's the high fashion and even higher energy of the Roaring '20s that inspires you, or if you're more interested in the glitz and glamour of the 1940s, a vintage-themed wedding could be for you.
We all love a bit of nostalgia, and as we move further into the 21st century, vintage wedding themes are growing increasingly popular with brides and grooms-to-be who want to inject some old school glamour into their nuptials.
We provide Victorian-style lamp candle holders, retro furniture decorations and rustic Hessian and burlap table numbers to give the table decorations at your wedding a vintage twist. We can also offer VE Day-style bunting to turn your wedding venue into a retro space par excellence.
Glamour
What do you think of when you think of glamour? Crystals? Diamonds? Gold? Silver? These four elements are becoming more and more popular at weddings in the UK as planners strive to create glamorous themes for their clients.
There is a fine line between glamorous and gaudy. Fall on the right side of that line and you've got yourself a stylish wedding bash; come down on the other side and your guests may find it all a bit much. The key is balance and restraint; you need to choose one or two colours as your theme and limit yourself to those colours as your plan your décor.
Choose from white diamonds or striking purple amethyst crystals, then trim with gold or silver. Follow this theme with placecards and holders, as well as venue decorations, to achieve a stylish, impressive and downright glamorous wedding celebration.
Beach
Unfortunately, the UK lacks the reliable weather, pristine sands and azure oceans of say Hawaii or Tuvalu, and so our beloved set of islands does not offer the best location for a beach wedding. However, you can still have a beach-themed wedding indoors. In fact, a beach theme is a great way to break from the traditions of a standard white-wedding and celebrate your special day your own way.
We bring together white and blue patterns that evoke the feel of a retro seaside scene, and add shell-textures, washed-out pastel driftwood colours and - of course - deck chair and sailboat themed placecard holders to complete the effect.
If you want to break with tradition without sacrificing the taste and subtlety of an expertly planned and designed wedding, there can be few better ways to achieve this than with a charming, beguiling beach theme.
Garden
Last but certainly not least on our list of the most popular UK wedding themes is another slightly left-of-centre classic; the garden-themed wedding. Garden parties are synonymous with the high-life, with an electric atmosphere, and with glamour.
Our table and venue decorations help you to recreate a garden party atmosphere inside, avoiding the often unreliable British weather. Detailed touches like topiary-effect placecard holders and our tasteful paper flower garlands in ivory and white make it easy to add a touch of garden party sophistication to your special day.
We also offer real flower confetti sets which add an extra layer of authenticity, transforming your wedding venue into a high-end garden party.
Whichever theme you choose for your wedding, we've got the decorations and accessories to really make it work. Just let us know what you need!
