Dating and Relationship

Classiness is a timeless quality, evoking a mood of elegance, tastefulness and luxury mixed with subtlety. Classy wedding themes are versatile, and can be personalized to fit different budgets, venues, color schemes and personal tastes. The ideal classy wedding is sophisticated and memorable, from the decor to the bridal gown.

Wine theme

For couples who share a love of fine wine, wine-themed weddings are romantic and classy. Vineyards provide a lush natural setting, and the color scheme can include rich shades of burgundy, purple and green.

Classical music accompaniment is ideal. Crisp linens and subtle, simple flowers, such as lilies or cream-colored roses, balance the decadence of the setting. The reception can include a wine-tasting for guests, and complementary wine bottles inscribed with the couples’ monogrammed initials.

Diamond Theme

A diamond wedding reflects the romantic gemstone in a classy and eye-catching way. Diamond-shaped wedding invitations set the stage for the ceremony.

The venue should be decorated in cool, clean colors, such as pale blue, pure white or white with silver undertones. The bride can wear a wedding gown with simple lines, offset by a tasteful diamond tiara, earrings and other accessories. At the reception, ice sculptures and glittering diamond accents provide a luxurious feel.

Old Hollywood Theme

The Golden Age of Hollywood was characterized by romance. An Old Hollywood wedding is an ideal way for couples to have a classy theme without going over the top.

The dress code should be vintage, including gloves and glamorous jewelry. A venue such as a country club, hotel ballroom or historic mansion evokes a classy Hollywood feel when decorated with flowers and candlelight and accompanied by live jazz. Black, gold and red make an appropriate color scheme.

Black and White Theme

The strong, crisp contrast of black and white is traditionally associated with formal events. A black and white wedding theme can be very simple to plan, and yet looks classy, elegant and bold.

The bride’s gown should be sleek and modern, while the groom wears a classic tuxedo. Chic black bridesmaid dresses complete the bridal party look. Possible decorations include black and white candles, black dishes against white tablecloths or white roses in black vases.
