Industrial wedding themes are a unique way to showcase your love of classic design and industrial elements. Whether you’re planning an elegant ceremony or a rustic reception, there’s an industrial theme that’s sure to fit your style. Here are eight of our favorite industrial wedding ideas:
Rustic + Industrial
Rustic and industrial is a marriage made in heaven! This theme features rustic materials like wood, clay and stone alongside industrial elements like metal and concrete. Rustic weddings are natural, earthy and organic styles that use soft colors and features natural elements such as flowers. Industrial weddings have a raw, unfinished look to them with lots of exposed brick walls, columns or pipes.
This theme is perfect for the couple who wants their wedding to have an elegant rustic feel but also be modern chic at the same time.
Rustic + Illuminated + Industrial
This industrial wedding theme is perfect for couples who want to get married in a space that feels rustic, illuminated and industrial.
To create this look, you can use wood for your ceremony area and reception tables. If you don’t have the budget for wood tables, you can DIY them with pallets or even old barn wood!
You also want to incorporate metal elements like chairs and lanterns into your decor as well as concrete floors. You can even add some string lighting throughout the venue to help give it an extra sparkle!
Barn + Industrial
If you’re looking for a rustic setting, but want to add some industrial flair, look no further. An old barn is the perfect backdrop for this theme. The industrial details will also help set the mood of your wedding: pipes, wheels and chains can be used as decor items; use industrial lighting and furniture pieces like an old school desk or table; use props such as rusty tools or tires to complete the look.

Bohemian + Industrial
The Bohemian + Industrial theme gives you the rustic charm of an antique, craftsmanship-driven industrial age and pairs it with the laid-back, earthy energy of bohemia. The natural materials and handmade vibe of boho are a perfect fit for this style. Rustic wood furniture, repurposed materials like reclaimed wood and stone, burlap tablecloths or napkins and lace accents all bring a sense of history to your wedding reception tablescapes. Add Tillandsia (air plants) or other dried flowers to give them a touch of whimsy without going overboard on traditional florals.
Industrial + Bohemian + Geode
Geodes are beautiful, versatile and can be used in many ways! They can add a bit of color and texture to an industrial wedding. If you’re looking for table centerpieces that are more on the natural side, geodes are a great choice. They can also be used as accents on your tables or even as backdrops for your ceremony.
We love this idea because it allows you to create something unique that fits into both the industrial and boho themes at the same time!
Moody Industrial
To create a moody industrial wedding theme, go with dark colors and rustic elements. You can use industrial elements like pipes or metal work as decorative pieces to give it a more modern edge. A moody lighting scheme is also important to achieve this look. To add to the effect, use light bulbs with transparent glass so that you can see their filaments and make them appear more vintage looking. If you have enough space in your venue, try hanging some of these lights from above for added drama!
For your color scheme, choose deep reds and blacks instead of jewel-toned shades like sapphire blue or emerald green.
Industrial Railroad Museum
The Industrial Railroad Museum is a great place for an industrial wedding. It has all the character and history you could want, as well as plenty of space for your guests and a beautiful garden in which to hold the reception.
- History: The museum itself was founded by a group of railroad enthusiasts who wanted to share their love of trains with others. It’s been around since 1959! And it houses an impressive collection of steam engines, electric locomotives, rail cars and other artifacts related to railroads throughout American history.
- Space: With three large buildings on its grounds—a station house, roundhouse building and machine shop—there’s plenty of room here for everyone (including any pets!) If you have more than 100 guests coming too then consider adding in some tables outside too – there are plenty around so no worries there! But I wouldn’t recommend having them inside unless it’s just going to be really hot outside–in which case maybe set up some tenting instead?
Black + White Industrial
This classic color combination works well with the industrial elements you might incorporate into your wedding. It’s perfect for creating a dramatic or moody theme, as it can be used to create a stark contrast between light and dark (think black caterers vs. white tablecloths). And if you’re looking for something more modern or minimalist, this color scheme is also an easy choice. Black and white are also great for making your industrial wedding feel vintage!
Conclusion
As you can see, there are lots of ways to bring your industrial wedding theme to life! In the end, it’s all about picking the elements that matter most to you and creating a unique look with them. We hope we’ve given you some inspiration for your own industrial wedding theme—and don’t forget that even if this isn’t what you choose for yourself or others, it will still be an awesome party!
