How to Create a Wedding Theme That Fits Your Venue
Tips from The Venue 116 to Make Your Big Day Seamlessly Stylish
When it comes to planning your big day, one of the first and most exciting steps is choosing a wedding theme. But here’s the secret to making it truly unforgettable: your wedding theme should fit your venue like an elegant glove. At The Venue 116, we’ve seen firsthand how thoughtful coordination between style and space can transform an event from beautiful to breathtaking.
Here’s how to create a wedding theme that enhances your venue — and vice versa.
Let the Space Inspire You
Start with your venue as the foundation. Walk through the space (virtually or in person) and take note of the natural aesthetics — the architecture, color palette, textures, lighting, and even the surroundings.
At The Venue 116, couples love our clean, modern interiors with rustic charm. Our neutral tones and natural lighting make it easy to dress the space up or down, from romantic boho chic to elegant minimalism.

Pro Tip: Think of your venue as the canvas. Your theme should be the art that brings it to life — not something you have to force to fit.
Match the Mood
Think about the vibe you want your wedding to have — is it formal or relaxed? Trendy or traditional? Your venue sets the tone for the event, so align your theme to match its energy.
For example, if you’re hosting at The Venue 116, our blend of rustic warmth and modern sophistication pairs beautifully with themes like:
- Modern Garden Party
- Industrial Glam
- Rustic Romance
- Vintage Elegance
These styles highlight what the venue already offers — rather than working against it.
Use Color and Décor to Tie it All Together
Once your theme and venue are aligned, bring everything together with cohesive décor and a curated color palette. Soft linens, statement floral arrangements, custom lighting, and signage can all enhance your theme without overwhelming the venue’s natural charm.
Pro Tip: Less is often more. Let the venue’s design breathe. The best themes accentuate — not mask — the venue’s personality.
Think Seasonally for Your Wedding Theme
Your theme should also complement the time of year. A cozy, candlelit winter wedding? Gorgeous. A fresh spring garden party? Yes, please. Luckily, The Venue 116 is versatile enough to accommodate seasonal transformations — from warm autumnal hues to bright summer blooms.
Pair the season with your venue’s features to make your theme feel effortlessly natural. Check out our guide on The Best Month to Get Married in Texas to help plan for your ideal season.
