   • Choose A Frech Theme For An Elegant Wedding

   • 

     There are few more romantic places in the world to get married than France. Between the lovely countryside, elegant vineyards and the romanticism of the architecture, people, cafes and more in Paris itself, no wedding location on Earth beats this country. Unfortunately many brides today cannot afford such an extravagant destination wedding, and think their dreams of a French wedding are hopeless.

     Nothing could be further from the truth. No matter where a bride may be, her dreams of a French wedding can come true with the right theme, invitations, location, dress, decorations and reception.

     To plan an elegant French-themed wedding, a bride must first choose an overall theme and location. She can go with an indoor location and focus more on decor that is best suited to a French style, or choose to go outdoors and try for a romantic vineyard or park-style ceremony. No matter which way the bride chooses, decorations are key to giving the location that European flair. Choose elegant flowers and fill the location with them, and wrap flowers to be carried tightly into a ball shape for a French-style bouquet.

     Invitations can also help set the mood for the wedding long before guests arrive. Use postcards featuring various locations throughout France or Paris itself as invitations to set the scene, or go for a dramatic flair with black-and-white toile invitations and reply cards. France is all about dramatic and artistic styles, so go for broke with your invitations to start things off on the right foot.

     As is true with any wedding theme, the attire chosen for the bride, groom and bridal party to wear can make or break the theme. Choose something classy and elegant for a gown that will fit seamlessly into the style of decor, and make sure the suits worn by the groom and groomsmen are sophisticated and understated. Some couples may choose to stick to the French theme and dress in a more romantic style, with dresses featuring long trains, full skirts and yards of lace.

     The final step to a lovely French-themed wedding is the reception. Make sure the reception area is elegant to the hilt. Cover chairs with lovely patterned fabric and tables with elegant linens. Rather than choosing a heavy meal for guests, try wine and cheese with a dessert bar filled with small, bite-sized treats. The cake is also an important piece of the puzzle, and should match the sophisticated decor of the area. Wedding favors can also easily fit the theme. Use Eiffel Tower wedding favors engraved with the names of the bride and groom and date of the ceremony, or even chocolate bars with wrappers printed with the same information. Guests will enjoy the favors immensely, and they will reflect the style and theme of the day.

     The possibilities for French-themed weddings are endless, and can be taken as far as any couple wishes to go. From modern to traditional, many ideas are available for brides who want to give their ceremonies and receptions and romantic, Parisian flair.
