Historical period wedding theme ideas – Part 1
Historical periods are a rich source of ideas for modern weddings, allowing you to choose from a tremendous variety of costumes and styles from any century. Whether you travel back hundreds or thousands of years, you will find ideas that can make your wedding day unique.
Anthony and Cleopatra, Romeo and Juliet, Samson and Delilah, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert are all examples of famous historical couples who have in some way inspired romantic novels and films. They could also inspire your idea for an historical period wedding theme.
Think for a moment of the costumes involved in arranging your wedding in the style of any of those romantic couples of old. If nothing else, your wedding day will be one to remember for all who attend.
ANTHONY AND CLEOPATRA.
What a stunning bride this style would produce as we call to mind the look of Elizabeth Taylor in the title role of the movie. The gorgeous eye make-up and the headdress along with the silky clothing style would be a fabulous look for any bride.
The groom dressed in the Roman style of Marc Anthony is simple yet effective with the emphasis on the hairstyle.
ROMEO AND JULIET.
Here’s a beautiful periodic wedding idea from a story perfectly suited to the occasion. “Wherefore art thou” the groom could say as his prospective bride enters on the big day.
SAMSON AND DELILAH.
This biblical couple would provide a wedding style which again is simple, even basic for the groom but offering a gorgeous style for the bride. Might be good for the groom to go the whole way and grow his hair long for the occasion.
QUEEN VICTORIA AND PRINCE ALBERT.
Let’s think Queen Victoria in her younger days as the more well known persona would not be a style any bride would want to wear. A traditional but ancient style wedding dress would be in order with the headdress suitable to the period.
The groom will look extremely smart in the style of Prince Albert which could include an early military style outfit complete with medals.
Period weddings open up a multitude of possibilities as you look back through history at the unique styles, some basic, others very elaborate that could form the basis for your historically themed wedding.
The options are endless as you look at the Tudors or the Georgian period or perhaps the styles prevalent at the turn of the nineteenth century and into the early years of the twentieth century.
Find the historical period that strikes chord with you and you will enjoy a unique experience that will capture the imagination of your family and friends.
