Choosing a wedding theme on sport is particularly original. It will certainly be for your guests and yourself the opportunity for many laughter, and why not, actions? But not to fall into the shot, here are some tips.
Define your sports wedding theme
Let’s be honest: making a wedding on the theme of sport in general is particularly risky. The danger is to create a heterogeneous decoration, too colorful and close to a carnival. The solution is to “tighten” your theme: choose a sport (football, dance, rugby, basketball, horse riding …), a team, even a sportsman (4th), and limit yourself to that. Once your theme is well defined, you will have to devote yourself to a heavy mission: to find a decoration that corresponds to your theme without doing too much.
Sports wedding theme: decoration
Unfortunately, few bride and groom have the opportunity to get married in the place where the chosen sport is practiced. Goodbye the football stadium, the dance hall or the tennis court, but don’t panic: there are a lot of solutions! It is first possible to choose the setting of the place: the mountain for a sport such as hiking or skiing, a body of water for a nautical sport … If you have the means, you can install false lawn or a coating that recalls a sports field. You can also decorate the walls in the colors of the sport in question (orange for basketball, black and white for football …) or a team. Do not hesitate to install equipment such as rackets, balls, balloons, sports jerseys, skis … The wedding cake can also recall your theme with an original figurine, even a wedding cake in the colors of a football stadium.
Sports wedding theme: entertainment and clothing
Even placed under the sign of sport, a marriage remains a marriage. So we can hardly imagine a bride in sports clothes. However, it is possible to add a jersey, a jacket over the wedding dress. The groom can also wear an accessory, of the glove type, American football helmet, medal … For bridesmaids, you can choose dresses which, while remaining elegant, recall the theme with the chosen color. Who says marriage on the theme of sport, says actions. Do not hesitate to provide your guests with balloons, rackets, etc., so that they can let off steam, if they wish, during the cocktail or the photo shoot.
