WINTER WEDDING
THEMES:

Royal Russian Theme
Wedding
Having a Opulent and Elegant Royal
Russian Wedding
Ethnic
and national themed weddings are very popular, especially
when one or both people in the couple have a particular
ethnicity or national heritage. Because of the landscape
and the weather, a Royal Russian theme wedding is very
popular for winter weddings, even if the couple isn’t
Russian. A Royal Russian wedding theme is very elegant
and is great for an evening winter wedding. Think of
pulling up to a church with Gothic architecture lit by
hundreds of white candles in a white horse drawn sleigh
wrapped in layers of warm Russian furs as the sun
sets…
Think
“Opulent”
For a Royal
Russian wedding theme everything should be very opulent and
elegant. An early evening or
nighttime
ceremony is best for a Royal Russian wedding theme. The church
or wedding hall should be appropriately grand; try to find a
Russian Orthodox Church where you can have the wedding ceremony
to have the perfect atmosphere. Decorate with lots of white and
gold candles, and flowing red fabric trimmed in gold. The bride
should wear an elegant gown, a tiara, and fine jewelry and the
men should wear tuxedos with red vests. For the bridal
attendants, deep red silk gowns with gold jewelry are a must.
The ladies can carry red shawls or even fur shawls, depending
on your beliefs about wearing fur, in case the church or
wedding hall is drafty. Flowers should be deep red roses
trimmed with baby’s breath and gold ribbons.
For the
reception, choose a location that is very grand and can
be made to evoke the feeling of a royal court. The
ballroom of a historical mansion or the dining room of a
fine hotel is usually a good place to hold a Royal
Russian theme wedding reception. Put the seats for the
bridal party on a raised dais and line the path up the
dais with a red carpet. The table settings should be fine
china trimmed with gold, and the flatware should be gold.
Decorate the tables with arrangements of red roses and
gold candles. Add some Russian nesting dolls to the table
decorations for a nice effect. Make sure that the tables
all have bottles of champagne with a custom label
announcing your names and the date so that family and
friends will have champagne available for toasts. Serve
Russian delicacies for dinner. As wedding favors for your
guests, make up replica Faberge eggs for each guest
filled with gold wrapped Jordan almonds and fine
chocolates.
A Royal
Russian theme wedding is great for couples who live in
areas where it gets very snowy and cold, because the snow
and cold actually adds a lot to the theme. And which
woman doesn’t want to be a real princess, even if just
for one day? Planning an opulent Royal Russian theme
wedding can be your chance to be a princess and to start
your new life with your husband with the luxury of having
your family and friends celebrate with
you.
