![]() ![]() A French Renaisssance-style bench topped in dusty blue makes for the perfect seating, emitting vintage charm while creating intimacy by allowing newlyweds to sit close to one another. When choosing tablecloths and runners, opt for light, airy, cascading fabrics that pool at the floor for a dreamy effect, and don’t be afraid to layer them on top of each other. How romantic is this sweetheart table? Take a cue from its simple, but striking look, courtesy of two main elements - gauzy linens and an heirloom bench. Cluster them at the foot of entrances or tables for a soft glow, or arrange them in a half circle for a makeshift ethereal altar. We’re talking long tapered candles in some gorgeously opulent candelabras or thick pillar candles in vintage wood holders. No tea lights, containers, or votives here. But the one detail that is a must is candles. Vines of green, for one, call upon old Tuscan gardens. When you do bring in the décor though, there are a few statement details that immediately evoke Old World style. Mismatched vintage ceremony chairs marked by soft bouquets perfectly add to the vibe of the space without being overwhelming. Go light on the decor so you don’t detract from the surroundings. Look for a place with antique masonry, vintage character, distressed walls, or hints of European-inspired architecture to create an Old World wedding setting that will transport you back in time. When it comes to your ceremony, let the venue do most of the work to relaying the style. Other details, such as a leaf motif or carefree blush brushstrokes, seen in the invite, above evoke subtle fairytale charm. Elegant calligraphy is a must for that Old World wedding feel, and a neutral palette in shades of beige and ivory is reminiscent of old stonework - when coupled with gilded designs or gold leafing, the invites take on a romantic spin. Of course, you’ll first want to set the tone with your invitations. So just how do you cast its spell and create the Old World wedding of your dreams? Rich in an ethereal, vintage, and European feel, the look evokes a soft decadence that will never go out of style - think ornate details, gilded touches, swirling calligraphy, floating linens, and old stonework. but none is quite as lovely as the Old World style. Romantic styles can take shape in many forms with the right details - modern, whimsical, moody, etc. If you want a timeless, elegant event with a hint of a fairytale, an Old World wedding vibe will deliver just that.
