Here is a fun concept to consider when planning your wedding if you love a good theme party. Especially if you love the styles and cultures of different countries. We get that although many countries are welcoming guests again, not everyone may be able to travel. But what you can do is bring the country to you. Or at least, the vibes. Whether it is Italian, Indonesian, or South African, here is how you can incorporate elements of your preferred country for a destination-themed wedding.

Greece is a beautiful country, popular for weddings not just because of the amazing climate, but also because of the easily recognizable blue and white tones. These colors are, of course, wonderful options for a stylish wedding exuding extreme class. Get closer to experiencing Greece with olive leaves, ancient sculptures, and Mediterranean cuisines.
Chic Italian Styles

Italy is known for its cuisine, lemons, and old-world charm. Incorporate these elements into your wedding when deciding on the location, music, and menu for your celebrations, with rustic styles as part of the decor. Play around with rich elements like metallic seating and white decor to add to the ambiance. Simple yet elegant, it is perfect if you’re going for a subtle take on a luxury wedding.

Grand mandaps and fragrant flowers are huge deals when it comes to Indian weddings. Plan your wedding and reception setups taking inspiration from this colorful land, and don’t hold back with your decorations. Bright flowers and subtle gold accents are perfect, especially for a suitable outdoor wedding during spring and summer. And sitting at a beautifully decorated mandap, you will feel no less than royalty.
Arabian Nights

The Middle Eastern and North African regions are great places to take inspiration from for a royale-style wedding. Koushas (Arab wedding stage decor) are typical in the UAE wedding culture, where the bride and groom take center stage as the star couple of the night. You can include fun activities like henna designs for guests and decorate your venue with lanterns and chandeliers with elements of gold. Ottomans are also simple details that can complete the setup with elegance and be practical for you and your guests.
American Country Elements

When you think of American country weddings, it usually involves friendly farm animals and a barn. You can choose to have your wedding at a barn location or convert your venue with elements from the countryside. Haystacks and livestock like horses and cows add a playful spirit, not to forget you get to swap those heels for some comfortable boots to dance around in. Besides, wouldn’t it be fun to ride on horseback into the sunset as a newlywed couple?
A Taste Of Mexico

Mexican culture is popular all over the world, well-known for music, food, and colorful festivals. You can bring all of these together into your wedding ceremony with colorful paper decorations, a mariachi band, and traditional cocktails like the Mezcal.
If you and your partner love to experiment with new ideas, this is the perfect opportunity to show everyone your exciting personalities. Through creative themes, take your guests on a journey to your favorite destination without physically traveling all those miles. You are sure to give them an experience they won’t ever forget, and of course, it will be the best day of your life with your partner.
