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:

The sky’s the limit when it comes to planning your wedding – anything you adore and can possibly imagine can become reality on your special day! I hope you’ve enjoyed my list of some really amazing unconventional wedding themes.
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.
