Are you keen on history? Would you like to live in another time? Take advantage of your wedding to recreate a moment of history and slip into the shoes of your favorite historical characters. Our advice for a historical marriage without missteps.
Wedding on the theme of history: Watch out for slippages
Recreating an era is a superb idea. Be careful not to fall into pastiche and ridiculous caricature! To do this, go sparingly! The staging must be done in small touches, with taste and discretion. No need to transform everything as at the time selected (medieval era, 1960s, Roaring Twenties, Baroque period …). Recalls here and there will be much more suitable.
Historical marriage: the place and the dominant colors
For the choice of the place and the dominant colors, it all depends on the time you have chosen to trace. Celebrate your medieval wedding in a castle, or your 1920s wedding in a room with cabaret, velvet curtains and Art Deco furniture. In short, the place of reception must absolutely be connected with your theme, because it is he who will really set the tone. On the other hand, if you have decided to pay tribute to the story as a whole, your room for maneuver will be greater, and the choice of the wider place. It will be enough to dress the play with a harmony of ecru and violence or Bordeaux to unify the atmosphere.
Historical wedding: a decoration with museum’s false airs
After the place of reception, it is on the decoration accessories that your theme will be played. Chine old objects related to the retraced era. For the 1920s for example, a gramophone, cigarette door, old cameras … Do not hesitate to dress the posters of the time. For table centers, why not compose small windows containing typical objects or representing a saynet of the time? Remember to join an explanatory sheet, so that your guests can learn more about this period in history.
