A bride’s wedding day is supposed to make her feel like a queen for a day. Bring that royal feeling full circle with a Baroque-inspired wedding and become your own “Belle” of the ball at a wedding castle. A style that is becoming very popular and extending beyond the dress to an overall theme, Baroque-fashioned weddings are one of the latest trends to inspire brides this season
In the 17th century Baroque fashion dominated the French court of Louis XIV. Today that fashionable style is making a bold comeback in wedding dresses for today’s bride. Much more comfortable than the designs of old, the new Baroque fashions boast luxurious and extravagant materials that are elaborately detailed and embellished with crystals, metallics, and fine ribbons and fabrics.
The Baroque-inspired fashion of today’s wedding dresses, have intricate bodices and pristine yet full gowns, some of which come complete with overskirts in the fashion of Marie Antoinette if you want to go the full meringue look.. Wedding Corset styles are very popular. The beauty of the corset is that you do not need to worry about your exact size on your wedding day. If you are overcome with stress or are just plain lucky enough to lose those few extra pounds before your big day it is no problems. No need for any last minute alterations, just get your Bridesmaid to tie you in nice and tight.
On the other hand if your method of dealing with wedding strss is to take solace in a tin of biscuits and you put on a few pounds, there is plenty of extra space in a wedding dress designed with a corset.
Also wedding corsets open up a whole load of wedding photography possibilities. You must instruct your wedding photographer to take a photo of you getting laced up. Sepia tones particularly lend themselves to this style of photo and if you have the wedding castle location with chaise longue, mirrored armoires, cherubs and chandeliers, these add that special touch and continu that romantic baroque theme.
Think royalty, think luxurious, think rich; whether in ornamentation, decor, fabrics, wedding accessories, favors or invitation and stationary design. Begin your Baroque-styled wedding with embellished invitations sealed with ornamental baroque monogrammed stickers. Add some detail and sparkle to your ceremony decor with crystals and metallic ribbons, for church pews or chair decor accessories. As an idea for a baroque-inspired centrepiece, think candelabras dripping with crystals in silver, or platinum, and continue your theme with a silver and chrome-plated cake serving set.
For a venue, nothing says baroque more than a renaissance wedding castle in France rich with velvet drapes, a ballroom-styled reception room complete with grand chandeliers suspended from the ceiling with light reflected in infinity mirrors and antique chaise longue lining the dance floor.
Color for a Baroque-themed wedding should be as rich as the style itself. Champagne and deep rose red, or vibrant purples are beautiful choices with lots of metallic details interspersed amongst your accessories. Brocade is a popular fabric for the baroque bride and brocade velvet is a good choice for a winter bride.
For food think rich and sumptuous. Have foie gras, figs and duck breast.
