Modern Wedding Theme Inspiration for a Contemporary Celebration
The modern wedding theme is the ultimate contemporary style. If you are a couple who loves fresh, up to date designs and trends, then the modern theme will be perfect for your big day.
what is a modern wedding theme?
Modern weddings showcase a fresh, fashion-forward aesthetic. Whether minimalist or avant garde, monochrome colors, geometry, clear lines are the main elements of a modern wedding.
A modern style wedding is sleek and sophisticated, where less really is more. Embodying clean lines, fresh greenery, refined decor, geometric lines and a monochromatic color palette. Even though the modern trend is minimalist, there are plenty of creative ways that you can incorporate style into your wedding decor.
I’ve put together some of my favorite modern wedding theme ideas to inspire you in your planning!
minimalist wedding dress
A subtle and stylish way to showcase the modern wedding theme is with your wedding dress. As less is more with the modern style, your wedding dress shouldn’t be too frilly or fussy. A simple wedding dress will add a lot to the event’s modern aesthetic. Clean lines and a minimalist design are the perfect combinations for an understated but striking wedding dress.
go green
As a modern wedding style will mainly have a monochromatic color palette, with maybe some subtle touches of other colors, a simple way to accentuate the decor is with fresh greenery. This matches the modern theme beautifully.
Fill your venue and tablesetting with lush green foliage such as ferns and eucalyptus, while still keeping the minimal style. It might be that you don’t have any other decor, like candles or floral arrangements, and you just use your greenery.
geometric design
Incorporating geometric design into your wedding ties in really well with a modern wedding theme. You can use the clean lines of geometric style in many different ways throughout your decor.
This can be used in your wedding invites and stationery, in your tablesetting items, in any feature decor you decide to include such as installations or furniture, and in lanterns or candle holders. Think hexagon or diamond table numbers, angular shaped table decorations, geometric chairs and modern acrylic furniture.
SUBTLE & SIMPLE STATIONERY
Is there any better way to set the tone of your modern wedding theme than by sending out minimalist style invitations? As the first indication of your wedding style, invitations are a really important element in your wedding decor! Bold text in monochromatic design projects a minimalist and fresh design for your stationery.
You can then continue the theme with the rest of your stationery for your wedding. With menu cards, table numbers, seating charts and other decor around the venue all in a similar style.

monochromatic
The ultimate modern color palette is mainly monochromatic, so don’t be afraid of using black and white throughout your decor.
Monochrome is elegant, timeless and simplistic. You will be making your decor really stand out and portray the ultimate modern trend. Use black just as much as the white, with black tableware or black furnishings.
