Baroque Castle | Baroque Chateau

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 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 that fashionable style is making a bold comeback in wedding dresses for today’s bride. 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.  Wedding Corset styles are very popular.The best thing about corsets is that you do not need to worry about achieving a specific size for your wedding day. 

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 top.

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 lovely 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. 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. Bring that royal feeling full circle with a Baroque-inspired wedding and become your own “Belle” of the ball.
