Want
a Renaissance Wedding Theme?
Are you are tired of the same old traditional wedding
scene? Why not sink your teeth into a bigger and more rewarding
challenge? You could consider a Renaissance theme for
you wedding. This is the opportunity to dispel the belief
that everything has to be a white affair. Many people
are really not into the glamour and trouble that it entails
to pull off a traditional theme. Go against the grain
and have a theme that is different. Try an old Celtic
hand fasting or a medieval theme to get yourself and
your guests talking for years to come. The best wedding
is an unforgettable wedding.
You must be aware right off the bat that many consultants
for wedding may not be accustomed to this fashion and may not
have enough knowledge to pull it off successfully, but you
never know. Many people are straying from the norm and introducing
things into their ceremonies that consultants and planners
alike must learn to keep up or they might as well find another
career, for their career could be short lived. Perhaps consider
an events planner rather than a traditional wedding consultant.
This may open avenues to you that may have not been available
before. Event planners have access to costume designers, set
producers and the likes. They can find what you may need to
quite easily.
The
likes of an Old Celtic ceremony, which is known as a hand
fasting, is very renaissance in feel. This is where the elements
of life are given tribute to and in return bless the bride
and groom. The gowns of the era, say somewhere in the early
1600s, are absolutely lovely and will make a statement that
will not be long forgotten. Incorporate that with your kilt-wearing
groom and you have set the stage for a wonderful day of loving,
laughing, toasting, and dancing. In this ceremony, once the
bride and groom are announced as husband and wife at the alter;
their wrists are gently tied together with cord or ribbon,
basically your choice. This is the hand fasting and with it,
seals the deal, stating that you are now truly bound in matrimony.
You could always try a medieval
theme of the knights and wenches of the early round table. This would easily be a fun day of
costume and spirit aplenty. You could have wenches and knights
and if you are daring enough, you could probably even incorporate
horses to be wed on. For the reception, try a large pig roast
and have old English ales. This is not for everyone however,
this trend is picking up quickly and variations of renaissance
weddings are becoming rather popular. Many of the items you
may need to get this wedding up and running may be a little
difficult to find, but with the help of an event planner and
some research, you could get lucky. You might even check into
renting a building or space at a Renaissance festival for complete
atmosphere.
When planning one of these themes for your wedding, you need
to do to make sure you plan far in advance. Most likely, it
will take considerable time acquiring all the articles you
feel will finish everything off. The Internet is an excellent
reference tool to work with as you can go back in time and
see what was the fashion of the day. You could check into the
diet and lifestyles of the people in this era, as well. This,
of course, is not solely reserved for just a renaissance style
or theme. You could pretty much open the doors to just about
any theme. Themes that could be possible and fun would include
an old west theme with cowboys, outlaws, and bar wenches and
the minister could dress as an old western pastor and the bride
could be a wench being swept off her feet by the white hat
wearing good guy. Or put a spin on it, and have her marry an
outlaw in black. Clearly the choices are endless. It has been
this open-mindedness that gives way to an exciting day that
cannot under any circumstances be considered drab or traditional.
This will surely get the guests in a fun loving spirit provided
they know ahead of time. Make sure you guest know the theme
of the wedding so they have time to prepare themselves.
