Every bride wants a fairytale wedding, but those who choose medieval style wedding they will even have one in which ladies and gentlemen they will come to life.

Romance and mystery will be perfectly translated into a medieval-themed wedding. Whether you choose the elegant Renaissance style, or you are heading for a party inspired by Celtic feasts full of symbols, a medieval-style wedding is a bold choice, which is why we recommend this theme. It is different from classic weddings. In an amalgam of indigo-drawn events, a medieval-style wedding pleasantly surprises with originality, dynamism and color.

You can let your imagination run wild – not that you couldn't put your creativity to the test with another theme, but reinterpreting stories about knights and damsels in modern times requires a special vision.

Additionally, medieval-inspired elements can easily be integrated into a classically themed event if you want to creatively combine modern with historical inspirations. Furthermore, most of the wedding traditions we follow today originated in the medieval era.

Invite your guests to a fairy tale world!

Here's how to organize a medieval-style wedding in 6 easy steps:

A fairytale location

When thinking about a medieval-themed event, location is a key element. A lush garden would be the perfect choice, but this location comes with many advantages, but also disadvantages. With the right decorations, you can transform almost any location – tent or restaurant – into a real ballroom.

Choose a spacious location that you will outline with specific decorations – armor, breastplates and swords that remind us of the courage of knights, heraldic flags, seasonal floral decorations, crowns adorned with semi-precious stones, wrought iron or wooden decorations, silver-plated goblets from which guests will serve selected wines alongside dishes worthy of a medieval feast. But here we are already entering another story.

The medieval feast

If you want traditional dishes, then these will fit perfectly into the medieval theme. Meat will be the main element of the feast – you can opt for suckling pig, game, duck, quail, lamb along with carefully selected cheeses and fruits to match. Homemade bread and pie should not be missing.

Of course, you also need to think about your vegetarian guests. For them, you can prepare pies with vegetables, herbs and mushrooms, salads and fruits.

The dishes and cutlery will also fit into the story. Replace glasses with goblets and serve food on large platters.

The wedding cake

Well, here too there is a lot of room for creativity. The most suitable is an unglazed cake, decorated abundantly with fruit or even flowers. Simple and effective, an unglazed cake can cost less than a glazed one and you can even make it yourself.

Invitations on parchment paper

When organizing an event with a specific theme, whatever it is, it is important to introduce your guests to the atmosphere through carefully chosen invitations. For a medieval theme, parchment paper invitations are the right choice. Choose hand fonts and design a unique message for the invitations that will proudly wear their red wax seal.

Medieval decor and floral arrangements

The medieval decor will be enlivened by floral arrangements. Here you can put your imagination to the test and juggle seasonal or wildflowers with other elements from nature – twigs, fruits, ears of wheat. The floral arrangements, including the bouquets, will be light, slightly messy.

Clothing

As for the wedding dress, you would be surprised but the white dress does not enter this equation. Instead, you can wear a blue dress – the symbol of purity in the medieval era, lilac or cherry, but if you really want a light-colored dress, you can create unique color combinations. In the medieval era, brides did not wear veils, instead they accessorized their hair with all kinds of flower crowns or golden headbands.

And the groom must wear a suit worthy of a fearless knight.

Medieval music

A medieval wedding wouldn't be complete without some great music. Of course, you can throw in some modern tunes, but for key moments, opt for medieval, maybe even Celtic, tunes played on a flute or even a harp. You can hire a skilled musician or arrange for the DJ to introduce your own tunes.

It's not at all complicated to transform yourself into a fairy tale character by choosing this theme for your event. In addition, it's not a very expensive theme, but originality and creativity will be the key elements that will bring smiles to your guests' faces and create unforgettable memories.

Be different! Choose a theme that represents your personality and show the world how much you love each other in an event that no one will forget.
