Which came first: the venue or the theme?

Did you plan your theme based on your venue or did you choose your venue based on what you wanted for a theme?I love rustic, but ended up choosing a venue that isn’t exactly rustic, so decided to skip that as a theme! What was your top choice: the theme or the venue?

    Totally venue Smiley smile Our reception is in the education centre of a forested conservation area. I knew I absolutly wanted this place, and my theme inspiration came from it. We are having a winter forest theme with burgundy and forest green colours. Almost Christmas, but not quite...just like our wedding date, Nov. 16 Smiley smile

    Picked them together. We had some ideas for a theme, but we both knew we wanted something romantic and classic. We ended up finding a pretty blank canvas winery and going with a beauty and the beast theme.

    Love those wood beams! Our back drop is going to have wood beams with fabric and lights!

    I picked my theme first but would have been flexible if my venue didn't match it.

    Venue first for me, I figured I had a lot less control about what venues were available, and a lot of control over my colors and style!

    A little bit of both for us. We knew we liked rustic, woodsy, west coast... and then we found a venue that had beautiful wood beams with twinkle lights... it screamed to us.

    I did theme based on venue. I was so back and forth with colours and themes! So we finally picked the venue and then decided colours. If we would have went for the rustic log cabin venue, our stuff would definitely be different

    Our top priority was the theme and then we picked a venue that sort of fit. Our theme is beach so we picked a venue along the lake. I know it sounds silly to pick a theme first but we’ve both always wanted a beach wedding!
    What kind of venue did you pick that wasn’t rustic?
