Your wedding is a special event, and luxury weddings are becoming more popular to make your day even more special. Here are some top ways to pull off a nuptial celebration that no one will forget.
Regardless of the theme, the backdrop to your wedding is vital in planning your wedding. If you want an opulent and elegant setting, search for venues that exude grandeur and glamour. Ballrooms will have elaborate architectural components like crown moulding, enormous windows, intricate ceilings, unique lighting systems, classical columns, and more. For a more unique location, you can consider the hall of a beautiful art museum, a historic mansion or a castle estate. An open-aired space overlooking a stunning lake, beachfront, lush vineyard, or mountains will also be terrific.
For a luxury wedding, a high fashion feel can't go wrong. Make sure your wedding dress and suit are something unforeseen by others but couture and trendy. A ball dress or a mermaid dress is eye-catching and classic. For a sexy and minimalistic look, a sheath dress that accentuates your figure is a great option. For more avant-garde attire, try a bridal pantsuit or jumpsuit! Luxury dress designers can help you find a design that suits your personality. The black suit is classic, formal, and distinguished. You can consider different fabrics like velvet or printed material to stand out. Accessories like a unique bowtie and striking cufflinks can make a statement. Elegant crystal heels/slippers, gloves, tiara, and jewellery elevates bridal attire to the next level.
The colour patterns from flowers and stationery to table decor can upgrade your wedding to luxury status. A complete white wedding is sophisticated and elegant. While adopting accent colours like black in between provides distinction and intensity. Light or pastel colours add an airy and fairy-tale element. Metallic shades like silver and gold impart extravagance.
Integrate your chosen colour pattern with the glassware, tableware, seating, calligraphy, and centrepieces.
Be deliberate about selecting decor that accentuates your theme of luxury. Also, it is important to keep in mind the existing decorations of your venue! For example, if the colour patterns in the reception are at odds with your colour scheme, you will have to rethink your choices or discuss with the venue for possible alterations.

Flower displays are an important feature of a luxury wedding. Types of flowers like phalaenopsis orchids, wisteria vines, garden roses, anthurium, daisies and peonies are great options. Flowers can create creating jaw-dropping arches, canopies and table backdrops. Using lofty centrepieces will draw the attention of your guests and exude a regal appearance. If you want the foliage to a minimum, use other ornamental accessories to elicit drama, like curly willow, cherry blossoms, manzanita branches or feathers.
Food is a defining element in your wedding. You can host an hour of cocktails with some of your favourite signature drinks or classics like martinis and finger foods. The main meal can be a sit-down four, five or six-course menu. Traditionally, a menu will feature appetisers, salad, main and dessert. For larger courses, more meals are served, like two types of mains, in smaller portions. Adding luxury items to your menu, like Beluga caviar, lobster, truffles, and saffron will heighten the luxury element of the food.
