Romantic fabrics and cuts for a fairytale wedding

A medieval-themed wedding emphasizes the clothing, the cut of the clothing pieces, but also the fabrics used to decorate the hall where the event takes place. For the wedding dress to be inspired by the medieval era, it is important that it adheres to a certain cut. Regarding the color palette, the traditional wedding dress was blue, this color symbolizing purity, however, the modern adaptation of this theme allows you to juggle with the color palette. The fabrics used to decorate the event hall, tables and chairs, must be as fine as possible, the most suitable being silk, brocade and taffeta.

Bold colors in medieval style

Returning to the chromatic aspect, the medieval style wedding emphasizes bold colors and creative combinations of strong shades of red (burgundy), blue, purple, forest green or orange with accents of gold, silver or copper. The latter elements of the chromatic palette can represent unique elements of clothing and decorative fabrics, but at the same time they can characterize the decorations, from plates and glasses, to breastplates, swords, armor, helmets, candlesticks with beautifully braided arms, all of which create a unique, fairytale scenario for your event.

Handwritten invitations on parchment paper

Introduce your guests to the fairytale atmosphere of your wedding from the beginning and opt for parchment paper invitations that are reminiscent of the charming letters that spread the news in medieval times and proudly bore their seal. They don't necessarily have to be handwritten, but you can opt for a special calligraphic font. Offering invitations in tune with the medieval event you are organizing will determine your guests to approach an outfit worthy of the story you want to outline.

Charming floral decorations

Flowers had great significance in the medieval period, being loaded with symbols. Ivy was considered the traditional flower for weddings in the medieval era, symbolizing the purity and love of the bride and groom. Ivy can be creatively combined with other flowers such as roses, white lilies or daisies. Also, floral decorations should not lack medieval fragrant herbs, which will rewrite symbols of fertility and luck in olfactory terms. Among these plants that enliven the floral decorative elements are lavender, rosemary, sage, wheat ears and chamomile, or you can opt for flowering branches if the event is organized in the middle of spring. Decorations made of dried flowers, in autumnal shades, can be a suitable choice if the event is organized this season.

Medieval decorative elements

In addition to floral decorations, the medieval atmosphere is also recreated through the use of unique elements, seemingly torn from the era we are trying to transpose into the reality of our days. These include heraldic flags that can bear the initials of the bride and groom, breastplates and swords that recall the courage of knights, wooden or wrought iron chandeliers, generously sized candles, fabric napkins, silver or wooden frames.

Medieval feast with modern accents

The menu of a medieval-style wedding is a very important aspect for this event. The chosen menu must harmoniously combine the medieval, rustic feast, which does not lack the fine aromas of cheeses accompanied by fruits such as apples, pears, grapes. The main course is formed around the delicious venison or veal steak, to which are added aromatic pies with meat or cheese and fresh herbs. All of this will be sprinkled generously with red wine that will be served from carafes, and the lovers who unite their destinies will sip the Bacchic liquor from silver goblets. Experience a wedding like in a medieval-themed story in which the fairy-tale character will be you.
