We all know by now that you can find the weirdest, out-of-the-box ideas online. Unusual, off-the-wall wedding themes are among those ideas. Listed below are strange wedding themes found online that people have done for their special days.

Schoolhouse

If you can, find an old one-room school house to get married in rather than a church or other venue. 

This may be difficult these days and if you do find one, you may only be able to use it as a backdrop rather than actually enter the building. Either way, it would give a nice, nostalgic feel.

Whimsical fairy tale

Pastel colors and lots of tulle and ribbons would keep the atmosphere light and airy. Throw in some white stringed lights for a bit of twinkle. Using crystal and silver for the centerpieces would help reflect the lights and turn things into a wonderland.

Southern plantation

Think Gone With the Wind. The style for a wedding with this theme could include horse drawn carriages, 1800s-style dresses with a multitude of petticoats and Southern belles sipping on pink lemonade.

Cartoons

Why not dress like your favorite cartoon or TV show for your wedding? The Springs Events have a list of strange themes they’ve seen for weddings, including Shrek, Hello Kitty and Star Trek.

Baseball

Batter up! You can either have an outdoor wedding with home plate at the alter, or you can check with the stadium for your favorite team and see if they allow weddings to be performed on the field. Some stadiums may also host wedding receptions.

Your save-the-dates and invitations could be in the form of baseball cards or tickets. The same could be done for place cards.

Another idea for this theme would be to have the officiant dress like an umpire — assuming he or she would be willing to do so.

If, of course, you’re not a baseball fan, any other sport will also work.

Camping

This theme would be great to use for an outdoor wedding. Instead of using an arch for the couple to stand under to say their vows, use a tent.

Your guests can sit on logs or wood benches instead of chairs. This however, may be a bit expensive and time consuming to set up. For the reception, guests can sit at picnic benches to eat their meals.

You can even make mini campfire centerpieces with electric candles. 

Earth tones would be a good idea for the color scheme and cards and gifts could be placed in canoes.

Carnival

With a carnival theme, ideas for activities during the reception are plentiful. You could do anything from a photo booth to skee ball and ring toss.

The color scheme for this theme would be bright and fun. Cotton candy and caramel apples would make great desserts.

Literary

If you and your soon-to-be spouse are book worms, this would be a great idea. Books can be used to make centerpieces, guest favors and even arches.

For your guest book, get a book with blank pages and put the cover of your favorite book on the outside.

CMYK

If you’re a graphic designer, this theme is for you. The color scheme — cyan, magenta, yellow and black — is pretty self explanatory and could be a lot of fun to work with. 

Printing save-the-dates, invitations, programs and other stationery would be pretty easy as well.

Travel

This theme has so many options because of all the places to which  you could choose to travel. It’s also a good way to have a destination wedding without actually heading to said destination — and a lot cheaper too.

Suitcases and postcards could be used in various ways to decorate. Save-the-dates and invitations could be made to look like airline or train tickets.
