If you love the glitz and the glam of a formal affair, then why not hold an extravagant event for your big day. From chandeliers to champagne, this elaborate theme is perfect for the bride who craves a dazzling day.
Let’s start with the dress. This theme is perfect for over the top, dramatic dress that boasts a perfect, puffy bottom. The more glitz the better for this theme, so diamond encrusted anything is a must. It’s important to not go too over the top though, remember tacky is not tasteful, and you don’t want to look back on those photos and cringe. When it comes to your bridesmaid dresses, long fabulous, formal dresses are a perfect choice.
Nothing says glamour quite like a champagne tower, so adding one of these to your big day is a perfect way to bring this theme to life. Your cake is a focal point and one of the first things your guests will see when arriving at your venue, so it’s imperative you tie it in with your overall theme too. A blush and gold cake is the epitome of glamour and will complement your theme beautifully. If you’re having a formal glamorous wedding, it’s imperative you incorporate this theme into your invites. Elegant and classy invites will give your guests an insight into what to expect on your big day. Creating a black tie event is the perfect way to bring this theme to life. If your guests arrive in tuxes and formal frocks, it will add to the ambiance you wish to create.
Your centrepieces are a great way to incorporate this glamorous theme. Tall centrepieces filled with beautiful blooms are ideal for formal affairs. Holding your wedding in a ballroom venue gives you and your guests a formal feeling from the get-go, so if you’re thinking of having this theme, this stunning scene is a must. Finally, lighting is a great way to create a certain mood and ambiance on your special day and what better way to create a glamorous ambiance then adding candles to your ballroom?
