Unconventional Wedding Themes
Steampunk
Steampunk wedding themes are as beautiful as they are different from an everyday wedding. Inspired by the Victorian era, the Industrial Revolution and so much more, Steampunk style is edgy, fun and often one of a kind – think vintage fashion with a modern twist.

Glamping
If you and your significant other love all things to do with camping and the rustic outdoors, consider a glamping-themed wedding! You can bring the outdoors to your guests with decorative touches inspired by nature, such as greenery or wildflowers. You can also set up cozy tents and picnic tables for a true camping feel!

Harry Potter
Some of you might be in love with J. K. Rowling’s masterful Harry Potter books – so why not choose a Harry Potter wedding theme? From a Honeydukes Candy Buffet, to magic wands, to handmade props from Hogwarts, there is really nothing more wonderful than a wedding based in a fantasy world! Have a look here for some major inspiration:
Great Gatsby
Set in the roaring twenties, known for its glamour and jazz music, why not throw a Great Gatsby themed wedding? Based on a classic love story, you can use anything from romantic vintage centerpieces, to beautiful costume jewelry, fabulous music and whatever else reminds you of the era! Find out much more here:
Rockabilly
With fabulous mid-century style and some amazing red lipstick, why not plan a Rockabilly wedding?

Carnival
Carnival themes appeal to the kid in all of us, from amazing décor (multicolored balloons and streamers, perhaps); to fun amusement park food ideas (cotton candy stands; self-serve candy bars; and maybe some deep-fried funnel cakes for good measure). A great way to have an enormous amount of fun on your wedding day – and isn’t that what it’s all about? Get inspired here:

Did you have a theme for your wedding? What it traditional or not? And finally, what are some of your favorite unconventional wedding themes?
I like the carnival theme, that looks like so much fun. My theme was more beachy (I guess), I had a cake with orchids and a pirate’s treasure chest top.
I got married in a courthouse, but if I did it again the carnival theme sounds like fun!
What awesome ideas! Our original wedding was very traditional, but we had a fun rockabilly themed renewal celebration five years later that was much more us.
The carnival theme is a super neat one I hadn’t thought of before! I had some friends do the punk theme and it turned out so cool.
The Great Gatsby theme looks like fun to me. I would love to be invited to a wedding with that concept. It would be a blast to plan an outfit. 🙂
These are such cool ideas! We had a very traditional Greek-Italian wedding, and if I had to do it all over again, it’d be so different and likely with a fun theme.
Oh these themes are amazing . I absolutely love the first one . I have to say that I would like to stick to a classical flower theme .
We had a honeymoon wedding. Love all these great themes. Say, I would love to be invited to steampunk wedding.
Well this sound really great. Its good for the couples who are looking forward for a bashing wedding bell. These all themes are so amazing.
These are all such really cool ideas 🙂 The Great Gatsby theme looks like so much fun. I love people who are creative and think out of the box
Love the Harry Potter wedding idea. That looks so fun. The Glamping idea also looks fun. I think it is awesome when people are creative and different.
