Masquerade Wedding Ideas

Masquerades are beautiful, elegant and they always seem to pertain to an entirely different era. We all love their mystery and their romanticism – and this is most likely why they have become a very popular wedding theme as well.

If you plan on having your own masquerade wedding, don’t forget to read on. We have picked up some of the best ideas out there – and we would be more than happy if they inspired you to create your own magic day as well.

·         Gold and silver. Venetian balls are all about opulence and luxury. You might not be able to serve your wedding food on actual gold plates, but there are other ways to bring this into your wedding. From your wedding favors to the cake, everything can be “touched” by these luxurious colors. Use them in moderation though! You want everything to look elegant!

·         Aside from gold and silver, black, white, deep green and blue are the colors most commonly associated with masked balls. Combine them in a way that makes the room look aesthetically balanced and everything will be stunning.  

·         Feathers and masks. No masquerade is complete without the Venetian masks. Try to invest in quality masks that really look like “they belong” in that kind of context. Keep in mind that these masks can double as wedding favors for your guests too, so you can afford to pay a bit more for them. As for feathers, don’t be afraid to incorporate them in your bouquet, in the centerpieces and in the masks as well. Extra tip: usually, peacock feathers work best with masquerades.

·         Glass and mirrors. If you want to create the optical illusion of “light”, mirrors are your best friends. Use them on the walls, on the tables and wherever you get the chance. They will add dimension, grace and elegance to your wedding reception.

5 Ideas for a Glam Wedding

Your wedding is one of the most festive and beautiful events in your life. Naturally, you will want to shine and be happy about all of the things comprising this big day. If you are planning for a very glamorous and beautiful wedding, you should definitely read on. We have gathered the top 5 ideas for a truly glam wedding!
 

 

Choose a venue that really goes with the theme. If you can’t go for a really tall ballroom, choose something that feels airy and “open” because this will contribute a lot to the “grand” atmosphere you want to create.

 

      Lightning is everything when it comes to glam weddings, so always make sure to choose it the right way. There’s really no such thing as “too much”: garland lights, chandeliers, lamps and whatever else you find will do the trick and they will all add that special glamorous feeling you are searching for.

 

      Sequins, mirrors and shiny décor will reflect the light in a very beautiful way and they will contribute a lot to the overall look of your wedding reception. Also, don’t limit yourself to the centerpieces and floral arrangements when it comes to decorating your wedding in the glam style. In fact, choosing sequin table linens may be a very good choice as well.

 

      Since you will already add a lot of shine and sparkle to the décor, you should try to keep your color theme as simple as possible. Gold/white, silver/white and black/white combinations usually work best for this kind of theme.

 

      Big flower arrangements can be a great idea too. However, make sure you don’t overdo it with the other décor items if you want to keep it classy and elegant.

 

      Flourtown Country Club is the perfect wedding venue for glam weddings – so if you have your heart settled on this theme, do make sure to pay us a visit. We really believe our gorgeous location will make for a stunning wedding for you and your loved one!
