50 State Themed Wedding Ideas

What is a state themed wedding? A state themed wedding is one that incorporates stylish – and subtle – state themed accents throughout its decor. For example, a Michigan couple might select a wedding save the date with a state outline, a wedding invitation featuring ‘the mitten’, and favors of Michigan cherry jam for guests. Its table numbers might be named after cities – Detroit, Lansing, Traverse City, Royal Oak, Romeo, Grand Rapids – rather than numbers, while programs might be shaped like the ‘mitten’ itself. A state themed wedding is ideal for a couple who met in the same state and share the same stately pride, or have lived in multiple states and plan to put roots into a new state together. A state themed wedding isn’t meant to be flooded in state-inspired decor; less is more. Instead, focus on a few subtle, unexpected details and decorative thematic elements.
