Perhaps you were even planning a destination wedding to tie the knot, and after consideration, you realized this was not the best idea for you. Well if this is the case, who says you cannot recreate a wonderful wedding travel theme closed to home!

A travel wedding theme can be a lot of fun to organize. You’ll appreciate the possibility from letting your imagination go wild, and finding ideas based on your travelling experience. It’s a theme that works well if you’re creative and enjoy do-it-yourself projects.

Our inspiration is a combination of two different wedding themes. With the primary theme being travel; it opens the door to an array of different possibilities. Are you more excited by a travel around the world theme or perhaps prefer targeting a specific destination? Do you enjoy travelling by plane, train, boat, car or bicycle? Your first objective is to narrow down your choices to a few ideas and pinpoint what will be predominant throughout your event. A vintage inspired wedding is a secondary theme that confers a specific style and mood to your travel theme.

There are a wide variety of fun vintage accessories that lend themselves perfectly to your travel wedding theme. Items such as world globes, world maps, old suitcases, old cameras, postcards, airplane, train, or boat replicas are only a few ideas. Explore below for more creative possibilities!
