Wedding marks the beginning of a significant phase in a person’s life. In Asia, it is the most-awaited time of a youth’s life. Quite obviously, people tend to make it as special and as memorable as they possibly can. Nowadays, even in UK people tend to follow the trends of Pakistani/Indian weddings, and unique wedding trends from these home countries have been transported here in the UK. Leading among these trends is the inclination towards choosing exclusive Asian wedding themes for the big day, which is a great idea to bring uniqueness and novelty to an otherwise traditional celebration and decor. The choice of a wedding theme mostly depends on the personalities and lifestyle of the couples; however, to make it easy for you to organize your UK wedding in typical Pakistani/Indian style, we have selected some distinctive Asian wedding theme ideas for you:
Rose Theme
This is, by far, the most cherished and commonly used theme in Asian weddings. Roses are available round the year and so cause no problems in availability. Traditionally associated with the idea of love, a rose decor ensures a vibrant and unique celebration with an underlying message of love and prosperity for the couple. Depending upon the colours of the roses you use, you can have either a casual or a formal wedding outlook. Roses used in rainbow colours create a casual atmosphere while roses in white or deep red colour would impart a formal touch to the ornamentation. Rose-inspired invitations, cake servers, guest books, ring pillows and other accessories would give a lasting impression to your wedding guests.
Tropical Theme
The idea of Tropics is related with warm sunshine, sandy beaches and blue waters, orchids, hibiscus, outlandish lilies and palm trees. Although each tropical island has its own traditions and culture, they are all marked with an atmosphere of serenity and warmth. Red, yellow and orange colours on a white base dominate in a tropical wedding theme. You can also contrast these colours with turquoise, pink and lime colours. Add lots of candles and accentuate your wedding dress with a lot of gold jewellery and there, you are done!
Rustic Country Style Theme
Rustic country style décor is mainly influenced by nature. If you want to project an atmosphere of simplicity yet charm and relaxation in your wedding celebration, choose favours and accessories that portray a rustic background. It is not always necessary to find a rustic location for your wedding; you can easily modify your surroundings into a country farmhouse by using a variety of colours like purple, white, brown, deep blue, and obviously, lots and lots of green. You can also use golden garlands of wheat to decorate the seats and tables; it will give an ethereal effect when their strands are caught in the golden glow of sunlight.
Oriental Theme
It is a great idea to choose Oriental theme as your wedding concept. An Oriental wedding theme mostly contains red, yellow and golden in everything they use since these colours are associated with happiness, love and prosperity. On the other hand, white is used frugally since in Asia (and especially in China), it is associated with funerals. A hanging lanterns theme would definitely attract your guests and simultaneously create an atmosphere of joy and warmth. Moreover, flowers, especially orchids, cherry blossoms and lilies, play a vital role in an Oriental decoration.
Starry Night Theme
If you want to make your wedding celebration truly unique, opt for the starry night theme. This exclusive theme is best for winter weddings when everything is dark. In this décor, everything including curtains, table cloths and centerpieces is draped in navy blue and black shades. It is suitable to maintain a base of white flowers to enhance the sparkling effect. The roof is covered with innumerable miniature lights to catch the true effect of a starry sky. This theme lets your guests enjoy the feel of an outdoor night function while creating an atmosphere of calm and peace.
