Rococo Wedding Decor
Rococo Style Wedding Venue
This is a big chunk of the wedding finances, so look at a few options. Ideally for a Rococo wedding choose a grand historical estate, château, or ballroom with ornate moldings, gilded accents, and high ceilings.
Rococo Wedding Colour Palette
Soft pastels like blush pink, powder blue, mint green, ivory, and gold.
I love this unique and charming Marie Antoinette inspired bunting, which will make an affordable way to turn a venue more ‘Rococo’. Available at Etsy.
Rococo Tableware
Use gold-rimmed china and crystal goblets.
You don’t have to go crazy and spend loads, these plates are plastic, and still look the part. From Gikisla at Amazon.
Flower centrepieces
Incorporate floral centrepieces with roses, peonies, and hydrangeas.
Rococo Wedding Table extras
Add antique candleabras and gilded details like napkin rings.
Look at Ebay for some bargains, the stock of 2nd hand items is constantly changing.
I found these on Etsy, which is also great to look for vintage items.
Candles like these Bella Donna Rose, Tapered Candles from Etsy would be ideal.
Rococo Wedding Backdrop
Set the stage for a picture-perfect moment with a fabulous Rococo-style mirror or a golden arch dripping with a waterfall of stunning flowers!
You can also create digital backgrounds like these found on Etsy.
Wedding Attire Rococo Style
Rococo Bride
A ballgown with a corset bodice, intricate lace, and floral embroidery.
Accessories like pearl jewellery, delicate gloves, and a veil with lace trim.
I found these Rococo shoes on Etsy, and these Ball gowns below on Ebay, take a look.
Rococo Groom
A tailored suit with a waistcoat in soft tones, and perhaps a nod to Rococo with a cravat or brocade detailing.
This store on Etsy makes bespoke suits, they are amazing, check them out.
Bridesmaids & Ushers
Dresses in pastel shades with floral embellishments for bridesmaids.
Ushers in pastel or ivory suits with gold accents.
How about some fans as accessories for them.
Rococo Style wedding Stationery
Invitations
Include calligraphy, floral motifs, and embossed gold foil.
I love these ones from Zazzle, that you personalise online.
Seating Charts
You could use gilded mirrors or ornate frames with handwritten names.
On Etsy you will find some digital downloadable seating plans like these.
Food & Drink for your Rococo wedding
Wedding Cake
A multi-tiered cake with gold detailing, floral decorations, and delicate sugar work.
I love making cakes, and it would save the budget by making your own, (as well as being more speial), it’s not that hard if you can use an oven. Take a look at this book.
Dessert Table
Include macarons, éclairs, and petit fours styled on vintage trays.
Check out sites such as Etsy or Ebay for vintage trays.
I found these at Etsy.
Signature Drinks
Serve champagne or pastel-coloured cocktails in coupe glasses.
These ‘glasses’ are plastic, but still look great, available at Amazon.
Entertainmen for your Rococo wedding
Music and Drinks
How about a string quartet or harpist for the ceremony and some welcome drinks.
Here is a Classical Wedding Music MP3 download from Amazon – Lumiere String Quartet
Performers and Props
You could have costumed performers or dancers to add a theatrical flair to the reception.
It would be fun to have a Rococo-style photo booth with props like fans, masquerade masks, and powdered wigs.
These Marie Antoinette photo booth props from Etsy would be perfect.
Rococo Wedding Favours
There are alsorts of favours you could have for your Rococo Themed weddding, ideas include miniature gold-framed mirrors, macaron gift boxes or candles with floral or vintage-inspired packaging.
I like these Marie Antoinette Party Favour Shoes from Etsy.
