Whimsical Wedding Ideas

Modern Wedding Posted September 17, 2018

Combining rustic vibes, fairytale charm and childhood magic, a whimsical wedding is perfect for any couple who want their bubbly personality to shine though! The magic of a whimsical theme is that anything goes and the possibilities are endless! Tap into your inner child and take inspiration from things that fill you with joy.  This is your big day so plan it to be everything you ever wanted.

Here are some of our favourite styling tips and ideas to infuse personality and whim into your special day.

Inspired by nature...

For a whimsical wedding, for your décor, take inspiration from nature. Add foliage to bring the outside in for a classic and chic look or go full fairy grotto with festoon lighting, lashings of flowers and climbing vines. A combination of different materials creates a lovely, natural vibe. Think rustic wood, paired with polished brass, mirrors and crisp linen drapery in soft pinks and green hues.

Colour...

When it comes to choosing your colour palette, go with colours that make you happy! Pink, purple and orange are a pop of fun and are paired perfectly with white and green. If you don't want such an intense look, opt for these hues in soft, pastel tones. A lovely way to use colour is to choose a colour to focus on and play around with hues and intensities. Think vibrant coloured flowers with understated napkins or ribbons.

Add some quirk to your day and dress your bridal party in different dresses. Don't be afraid to mix and match colours too, small pink or coral buds could work perfectly with a purple bouquet.

Decorations...

For a whimsical wedding, unique and personalised decorations are essential! DIY table signs and personalised photo frames are a great plate to start. Inject some fun into your wedding with balloons and lanterns and confetti. Hold them in your wedding photos or even use them as a backdrop for your ceremony and for your aisle exit. Play with shapes and sizes too.

Entertainment...

The great thing about a whimsical wedding is bringing out your inner child! Incorporate quirky games like lawn bowls or croquet if your wedding is outdoors.

Hair and beauty...

Keep it simple and accentuate your natural bridal beauty. Think cascading waves, a messy up-do or a loose bun. Add more personality  to your look with beads, flowers and hairpins.
