A style that is becoming exceedingly popular and extending beyond the dress to an overall theme, Baroque-fashioned weddings are one of the latest trends to inspire brides this season and there is no setting more perfect than a fairytale french wedding venue.
Baroque fashion dominated the French court of Louis XIV in the seventeenth century. Today baroque style is making a comeback in wedding dress style. 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.
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 french wedding venue 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. 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 castle wedding venue 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.
For food think rich and sumptuous.
A bride’s wedding day is supposed to make her feel like a queen for a day.
