Wedding Themes: Ancient Worlds

By: Kristina Kittelson, Editor, AllFreeDIYWeddings

Let's face it: everyone's having a rustic or vintage wedding. The best thing about wedding themes is that nearly anything will work as long as you can find the right decor and attire. For an ancient worlds-themed wedding, nothing is in short supply. Your wedding will call to mind the towering concrete pillars and marble walls of Rome and Greece no matter what setting in which you hold your wedding. Prepare to have just the most awe-inspiring and out-there wedding of your time!

In ancient Rome, Saint Valentine would marry people in secret when the act of marriage was outlawed. It's a romantic (pun intended) concept, and many people love the idea of a suppressed love winning in the end. Besides, let's be honest: ancient hairstyles and attire were just completely breathtaking. With wedding themes like this, your wedding will be both beautiful and meaningful, remembering the hardships for love in the past and celebrating the success of love in the present.

These wearable crafts will give you a new perspective on bridal attire.

Brides, we're not even close to finished. We've also got a ton of beauty options for the ancient worlds bride. In the case of an ancient worlds wedding, differentiating it from other wedding themes, less is more. Natural-looking makeup, particularly that which highlights either the eyes or lips (but not both) is ideal, and hair with one main feature, making it simple and beautiful, will fit in well with your ancient attire and decor. Play around with any combination of these hair and makeup ideas. You'll be glad that, of all wedding themes, you picked this one.

Whoa, what a unique wedding theme! I've never seen a wedding like this, but I think it's a great idea. I mean, who doesn't want to look like a Greek goddess on her wedding day?

OMG. I have never heard of this type of wedding actually being planned, but I'm all on board for this. I love Ancient Greece so much, and some of these projects are simply divine. I must pin these for later. Thanks!
