Romantic Wedding Ideas: Ethereal, Fairy Vibes

I'm feeling extra romantic as February is here! As cheesy as Valentine's Day is, I want to embrace that this year! We believe in romanticizing life's little moments, and that is what I am leaning into right now. This month, I will share some romantic wedding ideas that will add a next-level feel of romance and intimacy to your wedding day. Of course, these ideas are perfect for all times of the year, so don't fret! They aren't centered around Valentine's Day. The first romantic wedding idea I want to inspire you with is a woodland wedding full of nature and natural beauty. Think about a fairy garden-type vibe. 


There is something so precious and ethereal about natural tones used in weddings. We talk a lot about bold colors and statements here at The Daydreamer Diaries blogs. While I love colors and advocate for them strongly, I still have a soft spot for appreciating the natural beauty of Mother Earth. 

There are so many benefits to having an ethereal-themed wedding. Because decorations are usually minimal, you are honoring the earth and making excellent choices in reducing your carbon footprint. If you find a garden location, you can use natural or planned florals as decoration instead of paying thousands of dollars for your own florals. You can have an uber-romantic ceremony with stunning photos. There is truly nothing better than imagining a romantic ceremony surrounded by flowers. 




Another tip for a successful ethereal woodland wedding is to get creative with using greenery. There are so many ivy and green leaves that can be used to decorate your reception space. Green is a magnificent color known to soothe anxiety and evoke feelings of abundance and peace. I cannot imagine a better color to incorporate into a wedding day! Your day should be peaceful and full of love and abundance. 


When choosing foods and desserts, follow the less is more philosophy. Naked cakes have been trendy for some time, but they complete a beautiful and light wedding vibe. Keep the food menu refreshing and nourishing. If you decide to serve alcohol, choose some light cocktails that are unique and satisfying. I would also add the recommendation to have some fun twists on mocktails. Check out our blog post on how to have a sober wedding here. 


Lighting is a massive contender to how a mood is set. You want to take advantage of natural light in every way possible for an ethereal vibe. However, if you need lighting... Opt for fairy lighting or soft lights. There is nothing more beautiful than greenery with soft mood lighting. Just imagine the romance and comfort this can provide your wedding guests. 

Suppose you're willing to get creative and utilize the natural resources in your climate. In that case, you can have a lovely day that takes minimal effort. You can have a beautiful day and be present with your loved ones. Just note that some gardens and woodsy spaces may require a smaller guest list. However, fulfilling the romantic wedding of your dreams is entirely worth it!
