Taylor Swift-themed wedding ideas by era: The Life of a Showgirl | The Tortured Poets Department | Midnights | Evermore | Folklore | Lover | Reputation | 1989 | Red | Speak Now | Fearless | Taylor Swift
The Life of a Showgirl–Themed Wedding
Ever since Taylor Swift debuted the green-and-orange cover of her 12th studio album on the New Heights podcast, Swifties have been fully engrossed in the new era, shiny bugs and all. You could take a TLOASG wedding theme in a variety of directions. One option would be to lean fully into the fringe– and jewel–becked album covers and lean vintage with a rich, saturated color palette. Alternatively, you could keep the vibe a little brighter with the OG green–orange combo that Swift initially unveiled. Either way, in terms of a venue, keep Kansas City wedding venues at the top of your list. –Hannah Nowack, Senior Manager of Editorial Brand Content

The Tortured Poets Department–Themed Wedding
Given that this album is home to "So High School," the song Taylor and Travis used for their engagement announcement post on Instagram, it's pretty clear that The Tortured Poets Department is a solid pick for a Taylor Swift-themed wedding. Plus, the all-white attire from the TTPD Era's Tour set is just about as wedding-centric as you can get. TTPD is one of Swift's more poetic, literary eras so it's a great option for bibliophiles. And, as we know, Florida is one hell of a drug, so consider tying the knot in the Sunshine State for a TTPD-coded wedding. –Hannah Nowack

Midnights–Themed Wedding
The Midnights Era lends itself perfectly to celebrations—the track list delves into themes of love and vulnerability, and the vibe is a moody, candle-lit dinner turned late-night dance party under a disco ball. Lean into the deep, sky-blue hues of dusk (or maybe even shades of "Maroon") and twinkly, celestial-inspired touches (think all things "Bejeweled"). Incorporate a fun midnight snack or "Sweet Nothing," an on-theme cocktail (perhaps a "Lavender Haze") and maybe even a vintage analog clock somewhere in the reception space. As a fashion editor, I'd be remiss if I didn't also suggest navy velvet suiting or a sequined after-party dress. –Kate Boswell, Fashion Editor

Evermore–Themed Wedding
Couples with autumn and winter weddings, this era's the one for you. The vibe is soft, moody and cozy like watching leaves fall from the window of a woodland cabin. The Evermore era lends well to any peaceful, natural wedding setting, like a mountain valley or misty spot at the seaside (note the "coastal town" mention in "Gold Rush"). Design details like antique glassware, dried botanicals, rustic wood and cozy textiles would fit right in. For those holding outdoor ceremonies during chillier months, you could plop plaid blankets akin to the coat Taylor wore on the album cover on each guest's seat. –Cathryn Haight, Editor

Folklore–Themed Wedding
While Folklore and its sister album, Evermore, are inherently woodsy and moody, this particular era is a little more open to interpretation. Maybe you'll be inspired by the vintage Art Deco vibes of "The Last Great American Dynasty," or perhaps you'll lean into a late summer coastal aesthetic with a waterfront venue à la "August." Another interpretation is to deck out your space with clusters of wildflowers or suspended mirrorballs (under which you can spin in your highest heels, love). Since this era is all about storytelling, use your invitations to set the stage and consider writing your guests handwritten letters as favors. Bonus points if you use a quill and scroll. –Sarah Hanlon, News Editor

Lover–Themed Wedding
Cotton candy colors and soft pastels are the iconic visual hallmarks of the Lover era, along with sweet motifs like stars, clouds and butterflies. The overall look and feel is dreamy and ethereal, but also super playful—this era makes us feel like giddy high schoolers, blushing as we write our crush's initials in our school notebooks (surrounded by a cascade of doodle hearts of course). My favorite aspect of this era to recreate for a wedding: the lush, rainbow flowers that bloomed around Taylor for her Lover photoshoot that, we think, totally inspired her proposal setup. (Yes, Travis is the gym teacher, but the man clearly did his homework.) –Cathryn Haight, Editor

Reputation–Themed Wedding
While Swifties stayed away from this album for a long time, Taylor Swift recently reclaimed her masters and, with it, ownership of this iconic album. And with Rep back in its rightful place among Swift's other works, it's the perfect time to look to this edgy black-and-white era as wedding inspiration. One of the most iconic motifs from Reputation is the newsprint from the album artwork. Lean into the bold typography by selecting newsprint-inspired wedding invitations and carry that style throughout all your stationery. –Hannah Nowack

1989–Themed Wedding
Can I be real with you for a second? The Vault tracks from 1989 (Taylor's Version) are among some of my all-time favorite TS tunes. And while I adore the original album artwork, I'm equally obsessed with the redone album cover she created for the re-release. So when it comes to 1989, an OG theme would be just as fun as going with the re-record route. Regardless of which approach you choose, 1989 calls for a blue-centric color palette which pops of silver. As for a venue, consider welcoming guests to New York for your Taylor Swift wedding reception. After all, it's been waiting for you. –Hannah Nowack

Red–Themed Wedding
It is easy to figure out how to create a Red-themed wedding because we got to see Taylor's version first-hand in her "I Bet You Think About Me" music video. Think white floral arrangements with pops of red blooms, off-white tablecloths with scallop, stripe and bow details, a chess board-inspired dance floor perfect for dancing to Taylor Swift wedding songs, flickering chandeliers and a tiered cake. If you're planning a fall wedding, this era is for you. Case in point: The fall escape in All Too Well: The Short Film. It would be gorgeous to get married surrounded by trees with red, orange and yellow fall foliage. After saying goodbye to your guests, hop in a red convertible getaway car inspired by the one in the album cover for Red (Taylor's Version) for your first drive as newlyweds. We love this red whimsical illustration invite with a cake that looks like it is straight from the "I Bet Your Think About Me" music video. Swift often shares handwritten letters, so this invite is on-brand. –Elana Lyn Gross, Senior Lifestyle Editor

Speak Now–Themed Wedding
"Sparks Fly" and "Enchanted" are just a few of the beloved hits from Taylor's Speak Now album. Coincidentally, they also happen to be the perfect phrases to inspire your wedding vibe. Imagine saying "I do" in a lush garden surrounded by cascading wisteria blooms and vintage-inspired decor, such as an antique birdcage and a brass mirror welcome sign. As the sun begins to set, twinkling fairy lights can light up the venue, adding to the whimsical aesthetic the Speak Now album is known for. After dancing the night away to throwback TS songs, your guests can send you off with a sparkler exit. –Sofia Deeb, Assistant Fashion Editor

Fearless–Themed Wedding
The Fearless era gave us one of Swift's first references to marriage: "Love Story." It's her more optimistic take on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet with a much happier ending. Look to the "Love Story" music video for inspiration for a Fearless-themed wedding. Head to a venue like Oheka Castle (where Swift filmed her "Blank Space" music video) and decorate it with vintage-inspired decor like flickering candles in candelabras, chandeliers, sconces and lanterns, ornate statues and romantic golden-hued blooms. Set the tone for your wedding with an invite that looks like it is truly from another era. This The Bridgerton x The Knot collection invitation is fitting. We love the cursive lettering and watercolor painted frame of beautiful blossoms. –Elana Lyn Gross, Senior Lifestyle Editor

Taylor Swift–Themed Wedding
Taylor Swift was the eponymous album that shot the young singer-songwriter to stardom. Full of banjos, fiddles and Swift's country twang, the debut album is countrified to the max and the perfect inspiration for your wedding. To play into the country feel, consider incorporating lots of wood, cowboy boots and guitar elements into your Taylor Swift wedding decor. (We love the idea of having a guitar-shaped wedding cake if you're not afraid of being too on the nose.) Besides the music itself, the album cover can also influence your celebration's look. Use the album's color scheme of blue, white, brown and green for a natural vibe. Include dainty butterflies, which are illustrations on the front cover art, for your stationery or ceremony seating adornments. And even though we're talking about decor, don't forget to have "Our Song" as your country first dance wedding tune to tie the theme together. –Chapelle Johnson, Associate Editor
