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.

When you
decide on a wedding venue… you can do whatever will make your dream come true! An
old castle, A stylish old fashioned ball room, a lovely Victorian garden…. We
can go on and on. Make sure that the venue will fit into the theme. If you get
the right venue –you don’t even have to spend a lot of money on décor because
the venue is the décor! Take for instance a Victorian rose garden. What better
venue can you get for your Victorian Hat Themed Wedding!
