10 popular wedding decor themes on trend for 2019, and over 40 different ways to make them your own!

Next to your wedding dress, your wedding décor and theme is the probably the most fun item on your wedding checklist. Inspiration is all around, from Pinterest to wedding websites’ features of real weddings and styled shoots. Gorgeous floral arrangements, beautiful calligraphy details, neon signs, you want them all. With so many possibilities for a beautiful wedding, you’re hard-pressed to narrow it down to a cohesive wedding theme.

For a wedding that truly reflects your personalities and your journey as a couple, the both of you should sit down and discuss what’s important to you. How do you want your wedding look to convey your story?

Your theme should complement your wedding venue as well. If you’re going for a garden wedding vibe, set your celebration outdoors. A beautiful setting will go far in creating the look and feel you want, without you needing to spend a huge sum on decorations.

To help you find your own wedding style, here are 10 different wedding themes that are popular with couples in Singapore right now. From fun tropical themes to classic and minimalist ones, here are over 40 ways our SingaporeBrides couples have made the popular themes their own. Get inspired with our style tips on how you can also achieve the look.
