Are you a fan of classic elegance, subtle luxury, and a look that never goes out of style? Then an old money theme is your dream. Think stately country houses, champagne in crystal glasses, and a timeless style that doesn't need trends to make an impression. In this blog post, you'll discover how to weave that classic charm into every detail of your wedding day.
From Country House to Table Decor
A warm, stylish atmosphere is created by the use of antique-looking furniture, crystal chandeliers, and rich materials like silk, linen, and velvet. Classic flowers, such as roses, peonies, and hydrangeas in soft hues, are often arranged in symmetrical bouquets. The tables are often set with fine china, silver cutlery, and luxurious linen napkins. A wedding venue with a rich history, such as a country house, castle, or farmhouse, fits perfectly with this theme.
Timeless Elegance in Bridal Fashion
Within the old money theme, the wedding dress exudes pure timelessness. This timelessness translates into classic silhouettes like an A-line or a fairytale ball gown, crafted from opulent fabrics that drape softly and feel exquisite. Fine details like lace, subtle embroidery, or a delicate hem give the dress a refined, almost regal look. The accessories tell their own story: a pair of sparkling pearl earrings, a veil that has endured through generations, or a charming vintage clutch add just the right dose of elegance. 
The groom also fits perfectly into this picture. A tailored suit or a classic tuxedo gives an undeniably stylish impression, especially when combined with a tie in a muted color, shiny cufflinks, and perfectly polished leather shoes. Together, the bride and groom create an image that seems to have come straight from a timeless love story.
Culinary Enjoyment with Class
The wedding dinner will be a culinary highlight, with a multi-course menu filled with timeless dishes that not only taste great but also appear like small works of art on the plate. Each course will be accompanied by a carefully selected wine pairing that allows the flavors to meld into a harmonious experience.
Guests can also enjoy a champagne bar where elegant glasses are filled with a variety of sparkling bubbly. And for those who prefer a classic twist, iconic cocktails like the Martini, Negroni, or Old Fashioned add a touch of glamour and timeless class.
Refined Entertainment
Within the old-money theme, live music is the perfect way to create the right ambiance. A string quartet, an elegant pianist, or an intimate jazz band will perform during the ceremony and dinner. As evening falls, the music gains energy: a swinging live band or a DJ with a stylish, vintage playlist will get guests dancing, while the atmosphere retains its refined character. This way, the music becomes an essential part of the experience.
Grand Entrance
To capture the magic of your Old Money Day down to the smallest detail, transportation is also a key element. Imagine stepping out of a classic, gleaming car that seems to have stepped straight out of a timeless fairytale. A vintage Rolls-Royce or Bentley not only adds a touch of aristocratic elegance but also ensures an unforgettable entrance to the ceremony and a stylish conclusion upon departure. Transportation becomes so much more than a practical necessity; it becomes a small moment of glamour that makes your wedding day even more special.
