Planning your wedding is a big deal, and picking the perfect theme sets the tone for a day you’ll never forget. If you dream of a stylish, intimate celebration, boutique hotels offer a warm, welcoming setting with plenty of character. Their charm, personal touch, and elegant ambiance make every moment special.
At Forest Villas Hotel in Prescott, Arizona, we offer intimate weddings with a mix of timeless elegance and laid-back Southwest beauty. If you’re looking for a romantic, one-of-a-kind celebration, here are five stunning wedding themes that pair perfectly with a boutique hotel venue.
1. Vintage Garden Romance
A vintage garden wedding is perfect for couples who love classic elegance with a hint of nostalgia. This theme combines soft florals, antique details, and candlelit charm, creating a fairytale setting under the Arizona sky.
How to Bring It to Life: Picture exchanging vows under a floral arch in the Mediterranean-inspired courtyards of Forest Villas Hotel. Decorate with lace table runners, delicate china, and pastel flowers to create an intimate and dreamy ambiance.
Food & Drinks: A farm-to-table menu with fresh, seasonal ingredients fits this theme perfectly. Offer tea sandwiches, charcuterie boards, and delicate French pastries. A champagne tower or classic cocktails like the French 75 add a timeless touch.
Final Touches: Live music from a string quartet or soft jazz band enhances the atmosphere. After the wedding, guests can explore Lynx Lake, just a short drive from the hotel, for a peaceful nature walk or a romantic paddleboat ride.
2. Boho Desert Chic
For free-spirited couples, a bohemian desert wedding captures the beauty of Arizona’s landscape with earthy tones, relaxed decor, and natural elegance.
How to Bring It to Life: Create a cozy, romantic space with macramé backdrops, wooden seating, and pampas grass arrangements. Use warm, earthy colors like terracotta, deep greens, and golden hues to complement Prescott’s desert surroundings.
Food & Drinks: A family-style meal with locally sourced ingredients keeps things casual yet elegant. Signature drinks like prickly pear margaritas and lavender-infused mojitos bring a taste of the Southwest.
Final Touches: Create a boho lounge space with rattan furniture and soft textiles where guests can kick back. Acoustic live music or an indie-folk playlist enhances the relaxed, intimate atmosphere.
3. Elegant Black-Tie Affair
For couples who want a classic, high-end celebration, a black-tie wedding adds a touch of Hollywood glamour to an intimate boutique setting.
How to Bring It to Life: A classic black, gold, and ivory color scheme creates a striking contrast against the warm tones of Forest Villas Hotel. Elegant tables with crystal glassware, tall floral centerpieces, and soft candlelight create a breathtaking ambiance. The grand staircase at Forest Villas Hotel makes the perfect entrance for a bride in a flowing gown.
Food & Drinks: A multi-course plated dinner with gourmet selections like filet mignon and lobster bisque is a true fine-dining experience. To complete the vibe, serve classic martinis or a champagne toast.
Final Touches: A live jazz band or classical string quartet brings sophistication to the night. Encourage guests to dress in their finest attire for a night of elegance and celebration.
4. Rustic Western Elegance
Do you love the charm of the Old West but want to keep things classy? A rustic Western wedding blends cozy country details with modern elegance for a truly Arizona-style celebration.
How to Bring It to Life: Wooden tables, wildflower bouquets, and warm lantern lighting create a welcoming atmosphere. Invite guests to embrace the Western spirit with cowboy boots, denim accents, and rustic-inspired attire. Prescott’s rolling hills and scenic desert views make the perfect backdrop.
Food & Drinks: A barbecue-inspired feast with smoked meats, cornbread, and mac & cheese adds a hearty touch. Serve whiskey flights or Arizona-brewed beers for a true Southwestern experience.
Final Touches: For entertainment, consider live country music, line dancing, or a bonfire with s’mores. A horse-drawn carriage or vintage pickup truck makes the perfect getaway ride for the newlyweds.
5. Fairytale Romance
If you’ve always imagined a wedding straight out of a storybook, a fairytale theme turns a boutique hotel into an enchanting wonderland.
How to Bring It to Life: Exchange vows beneath a canopy of twinkling lights and cascading floral arches. A blush and gold color palette adds a soft, magical touch. Forest Villas Hotel’s Mediterranean-inspired elegance makes the perfect backdrop.
Food & Drinks: A formal plated dinner with European-inspired dishes like creamy risotto or herb-roasted lamb creates an upscale experience. Signature drinks such as rosé champagne or elderflower spritzers add an elegant touch.
Final Touches: A live harpist or violinist enhances the romantic atmosphere. After the wedding, newlyweds can drive up Thumb Butte for panoramic sunset views or explore Prescott’s art galleries and boutique shops.
