How to Have a Victorian Theme Wedding?

Wedding themes are increasingly popular, and having a Victorian-themed wedding may be of interest to some couples. This article offers ideas for a Victorian wedding.

Some brides and grooms prefer to have a themed wedding. One option that is popular is the Victorian theme wedding. Brides and grooms can send out nineteenth century style wedding invitations to guests, wear Victorian wedding dresses and morning suits, carry a Victorian style bouquet, give themed favors, choose a suitable venue and eat a Victorian style meal.

Victorian Wedding Invitations

When informing guests of their wedding, the engaged couple may wish to send out Victorian style invitations to give guests an idea of how the event will be. To add a personal touch, the engaged couple could pen calligraphy onto the invitations, or search out antique, authentic Victorian cards to send to desired guests. Engravings will also give the invitations a sense of authenticity and age.

Victorian Wedding Gowns and Suits

Queen Victoria wore a white gown for her wedding to Prince Albert, and ever since, it has been popular for brides to wear white gowns for their own weddings. However, before and even after that some brides chose to wear different colors, especially if they could not afford a new dress. Brides today have myriad colors to choose from, and so some may wish to follow Queen Victoria while others may follow other Victorian women.


Some brides may choose to wear an antique dress that is genuinely Victorian, or have an antique dress reproduced with modern materials. Others may wish to go for a more subtle and understated look to their attire. But Victorian women often wore huge skirts, with layers of petticoats underneath them, along with corsets, which lacks subtlety.

The corset and petticoat style resulted in a look of a tiny waist with a large, filled-out skirt. The bodice would often be made from whalebone. Long veils were also common for the time, so a bride wishing to have a Victorian wedding gown should consider adding one to her outfit.

Grooms are advised to wear a top hat, and for a morning wedding, a morning suit, along with a cravat rather than a bowtie or necktie. Otherwise they may wear a tailcoat. Dark colors like black, brown or blue for suits are usually best, as men would not have worn lavender or salmon in the Victorian age.

Victorian Wedding Flowers and Bouquets

Typical Victorian brides carried a bouquet called the posy. It contained flowers of pale colors such as pink, blue and lilac, and was circle-shaped to represent everlasting love, with a rose in the center. The most common flower for a bride to wear was an orange blossom, which was a symbol for purity, while her attendants typically carried roses. Incorporating some of these colors into a Victorian wedding will add strength to the theme.

Victorian Wedding Favors

Simple ideas for Victorian style wedding favors may include small mirrors for female guests and little top hats for men. Lace doilies or handkerchiefs may be another option. As was popular during a Victorian Christmas celebration, crackers could be pulled. Crackers are twisted papers which two people pull to open, and inside are tiny toys, jokes and paper crowns to wear.

Venue for a Victorian Wedding

Castles always make for a majestic wedding, regardless if there is a theme or not. The Knot suggests looking up stately and historic homes, particularly ones that may have been of importance during the Victorian era. Any homes of famous Victorians that are available for weddings should be considered, such as the Farringford Hotel on the Isle of Wight, which was home to the great Victorian Poet Laureate Alfred Lord Tennyson.

Victorian Wedding Food and Drink

Victorians traditionally had what was called a wedding breakfast, and that name stays in the United Kingdom today, though it is usually a luncheon or dinner rather than breakfast. The main meal typically included meaty fare like roast mutton, rabbit, roast beef, turkey and duck. Lighter fare might be sandwiches such as tuna or cucumber. Drinks should include a variety of teas. For the evening, white wine and champagne are recommended by The Knot.

Victorian Wedding Cake and Other Desserts

A cake was not always expected at a Victorian wedding, but when they did have one it was generally a fruitcake that was decorated with white icing and orange blossoms (as noted, the traditional flower for a virgin bride) and filled with good luck charms such as a horseshoe and a penny. Puddings, tarts and pies were also commonly served at Victorian weddings.

Brides and grooms who wish to have a Victorian theme wedding may incorporate a few or all of the ideas suggested above. Touches to the wedding that evoke the nineteenth century may be more appropriate, or a full-scale Victorian feast and festivities may be what the marrying couple desires. The end results are sure to delight guests and wedding attendants alike.

Tips on Wearing Hair Accessories - Special for Beauty Pageants

More and more parents are entering their girls into beauty pageants because it
allows their princess to strut across the stage and show her beautiful smile in
an adorable dress and a little jeweled tiara. Recent movies have added to this
trend as popular films such as Little Miss Sunshine showcasing children's beauty
pageants.



Hair accessories can add to your child's
adorable look by adding a bit of flare to their outfit. What you have to ensure
is that you choose the right hair accessory to complete her look.

Keep
in mind that these beauty pageants are meant to be fun, so don't go overboard
with stressing for the occasion, just do a little research and put together the
cutest little costume that you can think of.




To help you put the outfit together we've come up with some tips on hair
accessories including baby headbands and hair fascinators below:

Tips on
Wearing Hair Accessories



You
can't go wrong
with baby headbands that are lined with sequins and diamonds as one of the
choice hair accessories for your little girl as she walks on the stage. You can
also try using black velvet headbands to give her the classic look of Audrey
Hepburn and Judy Garland. If you prefer sophistication, you can always have
crystals in any of your hair accessories such as a diamond-encrusted hair clip.


As you prepare
your daughter for the talent portion, make sure that her hair complements her
pageant dress and routine. For example, a hair fascinator decorated with exotic
feathers is great for a classic dance number like a musical while a simple hair
clip embellished with satin ribbons looks good in a solo singing scene.



When choosing the right hair accessories, consider the color and length of your
daughter's hair. Learn to mix and match. Don't restrict the natural flow of the
hair by putting the hair in a ponytail, use a barrette to hold her hair in place
instead. Also, always remember to place the hair fascinator or hair clip
properly so that her hair doesn't cover the face.


Tiaras in Beauty Pageants





Winning the beauty pageant of course means wearing the Winners Tiara. Just like
a wedding tiara, the beauty pageant tiara is also encrusted with jewels,
diamonds, and other precious stones (of course most of these are replicas when
it comes to our little one's pageant).


Most Important of All




Always remember it's not about the right baby headbands, hair clip, hair
fascinator or any other of the hair accessories. It's about your daughter
enjoying the process and most of all enjoying the event when it comes to beauty
pageants. Like everything in her life it should be educational and fun. So
forget the stress and the competition, just put together an adorable outfit and
let your daughter smile and laugh her way to the podium. Also all the tips and
tricks we have provided in this article don't just have to be for beauty
pageants, they can also be used just for the family Sunday trip to Grandma's
house as a little dress up is always a fun time for mother and daughter.
