Planning Your Wedding with a Theme of Victorian Era
Wedding is a memorable event for you and your partner thus; planning your wedding is with utmost importance. If you picture your wedding to be full of elegance, romance and serenity, then a Victorian theme wedding would suit you well.
In planning for your wedding, you have to think of is the setting. Places that would give off a Victorian mood are gardens (particularly gardens with gazebos). Hence a garden wedding is an option. Victorian theme is actually a historical period in the United Kingdom. The British people pay very close attention to flowers because for each kind of flower conveys different meanings.
Another Victorian setting for a wedding would be buildings with gothic architecture. These types of buildings would involve pointed windows that can be seen in cathedrals. Italian architecture designs were also popular during the Victorian era, wherein buildings or houses have low roofs and wide eaves. The usual Victorian details on buildings would be towers, turrets and porches.
Decorations should be well thought off because your guests would actually take notice of them. Your decorations should be eye catching, fascinating and would show your guests the wedding’s theme as they enter the reception.
Decorations such as antiques would look good in you reception area. You can get a birdcage as a decor with ribbons, laces or vines as its details. Places with chandeliers on the ceiling and candelabras on the tables would emit a feeling of elegance. Color scheme is also part of wedding details. Victorian colors would most likely be burgundy, copper, silver and other jewel tones.
The wedding’s feast must have a menu which would be from recipe of the English people. The popular Victorian food would be roast beef, pork, ham, duck, turkey, roast mutton, plum pudding, apple tarts, mince pies, sandwiches that would compliment tea, and fruit cakes.
Wedding cakes with Victorian themes are usually large and elaborate. These are actually fruit cakes with white icing and ornate pipe scroll designs and topped with orange blossoms. You can have waiters serve cakes with English tea.
You also have to think of great wedding favors to give out to your guests. Victorian wedding favors are ornate. You can give out decorative hand fans, beaded purse, box decorated with flower bouquet, scented candles, miniature tea cups, ornate silver frames or even chocolate truffles.
Couples need appropriate clothing for their most awaited day. Wedding gown of the bride must be white, long flowing with laces and ruffles since the theme is Victorian. Usually the gown has long sleeves and a high neck. The groom’s clothes must also bring out his elegance that would perfectly match his bride’s beauty. He could wear a cut away tuxedo with a vest and kid gloves and top hat.
For the bridal bouquet, Victorian flowers could be roses, tulips, hyacinths, which yield romantic emotions. The Victorians believed that a bouquet symbolizes fruitfulness of a relationship of a couple.
Music on your wedding day must be classical in nature. Songs usually are instrumental like the ever famous Canon by Pachelbel. This song is frequently used when the bride walks in the isle. Think of the elegant and romantic type music that would give the feeling of grace and tranquility.
To announce the day of your wedding, you have to give out invitations to your chosen guests. Designs of Victorian invitaton cards are usually embossed. Victorian letterings are used to write the details. Incorporate you theme on the card through you decorative touches such as floral patterns, ribbons and bows.
