Vintage Hat Themed Wedding



How to begin to describe a Victorian Wedding or a Victorian Hat Wedding theme. What better than to go to the website of The Knot.com

“A Victorian wedding is about class and grace, and calls for romantic gestures of a dainty nature --fine floral china, lots of lace, and sweet-smelling rosebuds. We've always been fans of era-embracing events: '40s swing celebrations, medieval affairs, and Western weddings are all creative and delightful. But it's the Victorian-style events that are a little more refined, as all modern wedding things are essentially Victorian in nature. After all, it was Queen Victoria who set the trends for white wedding gowns and white floral arrangements. But most importantly, there are few (if any) historical periods that are more romantic. So to plan your affair, you'll need to start considering things like lace hankies, corsets and petticoats, and cupid cake toppers. How are you going to pull off a celebration that's elegant and romantic, but not stuffy (or, even worse, tacky)? Here's our take on hosting a vivacious Victorian celebration.”

Remember to work with a soft colour scheme like pink, peach, mauve etc. Your invitation is the first thing that anyone of you is going to see of your wedding. This will set the mood to your big day. Then you need to find the right dress. Again – look for soft, romantic, lace etc. You can either choose a dress from a second hand shop, one that comes down with the family or get a good dressmaker to make you the dress of your dreams.
