Marie Antoinette Inspired Outdoor Spring Wedding

michelle8685

I'm starting to plan an outdoor wedding with Marie Antoinette influences.  My fiance is French, so I'm trying to go for something cultural, romantic, and semiformal.  Colors are principally blush pink and gold. 
Looking for ideas...anyone with a similar color scheme?  I would love to hear ideas!

Have you tried googling those colors together? I got a lot of wedding ideas through Google.

You could consider googling "Marie Antoinette Wedding".......or look at french sites that may have used that theme.

I'd think using lace patterns in some way, or brocade, would follow your theme. Maybe some braided cords or ribbons.

Found these by googling (my best friend since planning my wedding)

Ohhh I love this theme! I'm getting married in the Salon Marie Antoinette at the Hotel de Crillon in Paris in July!

I love the Marie Antoinette fans...I think you should have some for guests! 

Here is a link to a wedding planner in France who has a great blog with some Marie Antoinette themes (I seached "Marie Antoinette" on the blog---3 pages of info came up):

What about a croquembouche instead of a cake?

Good luck!

I love the Marie Antoinette movie.  I just watched it the other day and thought the colors through the movie would make a stunning wedding scheme.  My favorite color pair was her light blue gown with the deep red sash.  With your color scheme, which will also look beautiful, would look nice if you did light gold or light pink tableclothes with a tall centerpiece of pinks.  I would do a grand gold candle labra, tappered candles, large flower arrangement on top with strands of crystals hanging in loops from the flowers.  Then votive candles around the table.  Does that paint a picture?  She also loved desserts.  "Let them eat cake"  I would do a dessert table with all different kinds candies and pasteries rather than one cake.  Versailles had several different homes and buildings.  If you have assigned seating, you could name each table after a different section of Versailles having the head table, of course, Versailles.  I love your wedding theme.  Sorry I wrote so much, but I hope it helps.
