WordPress Themes
Sweetinz – Simple Yet Sophisticated
This floral one-page theme from ThemeForest features a countdown clock and a beautifully designed timeline to chronicle your special story, from first meet to first date, to the proposal and beyond. The header can be a single image (if you have a favorite engagement photo) or a slideshow (if you can’t decide on just one). Or, if you have a wedding trailer, you can play it here, front and center. Sweetinz has several starter layouts and multiple color schemes to choose from. The RSVP form is fully customizable as well.Jen+Ben – Tidy and Traditional
The Jen+Ben theme from Template Monster is another one-page beauty, with large calligraphic header fonts and lots of white space. It has a very traditional vibe, so it would be a good choice if that’s the type of ceremony you’re planning. Instead of fancy scrolling effects or flashy animations, it’s got a classy, clean feel, with plenty of room to showcase your proposal or engagement photos. This theme has a particularly easy-to-use editor, which I personally like. You can choose from several prebuilt layouts or build your own section by section, with anything from couple introductions to rehearsal dinner details.Event – Puts the “Party” in Wedding Party
Elegant Themes has a drag-and-drop website builder for WordPress called Divi, and sure enough, it features a couple of wedding-specific layout packs. My favorite is Divi’s Event layout pack. This celebratory, upbeat theme has cute icons to highlight info about the (hopefully open) bar, dinner, and dancing. Links to the RSVP section and gift registry are stacked together in colorful blocks. The default illustrations have some cool scrolling effects, and it would be easy to replace them with your own photos. Or, since you’re already thinking outside of the box, why not swap them out with some custom illustrations of the happy couple?Website Builder Templates
If you’re not already using WordPress and you’re relatively new to site building, you might consider going with a website builder instead. Their drag-and-drop editors are much easier to use than a CMS, and you’ll be able to access lots of wedding templates for free through your subscription.
Plus, website builder templates are very customizable overall, so you can make them match your ceremony’s style even if you’re not a design expert. Here are my top picks:
Colorful Wedding Invite – Proper, Yet Playful
Wix offers over 25 wedding-themed templates with beautiful designs, so there’s a good chance that you’ll find a good style fit. Personally, though, I love Colorful Wedding Invite because of how it pops off the page. This template is perfect for a ceremony that’s proper yet playful. It’s colorful, compact, and features some superb typography, with a unique large/small font combo. It’s also one of the few templates that doesn’t rely on sweeping photos for its visual appeal, so it’s a good choice if you don’t have engagement photos just yet (or don’t want them to define your site). It comes with an RSVP form built in with the Wix Events app, and you have access to pretty much any functionality you could want through the Wix App Market. For example, you could embed a map of your wedding location and link to it with colorful buttons on your other pages.Bleeker – For the Minimalist Couple
Squarespace is known for its visually striking templates, and Bleeker is no exception. This template is like a simple-yet-elegant wedding dress – great for a couple that embraces the minimalist aesthetic. The layout features sections for each part of the big event, like the ceremony and the reception. Each section features a different photo, with the important details centered just below. With tons of airy space between images and text, Bleeker helps you share your favorite engagement photos while letting you tell your story in your own unique way.We Are Getting Married – Practical and Pretty
If you’re up to your ears in wedding planning, SITE123’s aptly titled We Are Getting Married could be a lifesaver. This template is compact, pretty, and practical – not only will you have your site live in no time, you’ll be able to start collecting RSVPs ASAP. Everything fits nicely on a single page, and the site plan is clear and concise. The essential info, like your ceremony date and the RSVP button, is right in the header, while the “Our Story” section below keeps things simple, with a carousel for sliding photos. You will delight your family and friends with the quick accessibility of your website, and you’ll also be able to check off another item from your wedding to-do list!How to Get a Custom Template for a Great Price
The templates I’ve shared are all great choices, but keep in mind that even the best website template will need some tinkering to fit your wedding’s unique style. The easiest way to get the exact design you want is to have it custom made.
A good idea is to find a website design specialist through Fiverr.
For example, design_iit has stacked up a lot of 5-star reviews for her Squarespace websites. She creates 100% original designs and will upload your content for reasonable rates. Plus, she can deliver up to 4 pages in just 3 days.
Coder_arnav is a Top Rated Seller who creates responsive one-page websites for WordPress using Divi. He’ll design your custom page in 3 days for a price that’s similar to what you’d pay for a pre-made theme in Divi’s marketplace. He also offers design help and advice.
