The eternal charm of classic style

Wedding trends may change with the seasons, but classic style remains timeless. For many couples, the ideal wedding is one that, even after years, retains its beauty and sophistication. White bouquets, fragrant roses, harmonious floral arrangements, and historic locations create a timeless atmosphere that makes a wedding truly unforgettable.

If you dream of an elegant, sophisticated, and traditional wedding, this guide is for you. We'll guide you through delicate color palettes, floral etiquette, and romantic settings crafted with care and personality.

What are the perfect colors for a classic wedding?

In a classic wedding, the color palette is understated, refined, and balanced. The motto? Less is more.

Ideal colors:

• White, ivory, cream

• Powder pink, delicate peach

• Sage green, olive green

• Gold, silver or bronze accents (use sparingly)

Practical tip : Choose two or three dominant colors and use them for flowers, fabrics, and details. Visual harmony is essential to creating elegance.

The perfect flowers for a classic and elegant wedding

Flowers are the true protagonists of a classic arrangement. Soft shapes, pale colors, and enveloping scents evoke emotion and beauty.

The main protagonists:

• White and powder roses : symbolize purity, eternal love and refinement

• Peonies : rounded and soft, perfect for romantic bouquets

• Hydrangeas : voluminous and decorative

• Lisianthus, gypsophila, lily of the valley, ranunculus and calla lilies : to add lightness and movement

Floral suggestion : The classic bouquet is round, compact, and medium-sized. It should enhance the bride's dress and the mood of the entire event.

Ideal locations for a classic wedding

The right setting enhances every aesthetic choice. The perfect locations for a classic style are:

• Historic villas with Italian gardens

• Period homes with frescoed rooms

• Medieval castles

• Large churches with a long nave for the triumphal entrance

• Town halls or elegant courtyards for the civil ceremony

Outdoors or indoors, the important thing is that the setting speaks of history, charm, and authentic beauty.

Floral decorations: between sobriety and romanticism

Every detail must be carefully crafted: from the entrance vases with white roses and soft greenery to the foliage garlands on the seats, right down to the floral arches for the "I do."

Powerful ideas:

• White or red carpet for the entrance

• Rose petals along the aisle

• Classic centerpieces with fresh tone-on-tone flowers

• Candles, crystals and fine fabrics such as silk or chiffon

Accompany everything with warm lighting and elegant live music (string quartet or piano).

The banquet: impeccable style and convivial atmosphere

A classic wedding reception includes:

• Welcome aperitif buffet

• Lunch or dinner served at round tables, with a carefully prepared table setting and elegant dishes

• A table dedicated to the spouses , but never detached

Etiquette requires coordinated dishes, refined tablecloths, tasting glasses, and attention to the musical and service sequence.

Personalize without distorting the style

Classic doesn't mean rigid. You can and should add your own personal touch : a beloved flower, a special song, a family heirloom.

Elegance comes from balance: no excess, just details that speak of you.

A classic wedding is a promise of love steeped in the beauty of tradition, made unique by attention to detail.

The flowers, the location, and the harmony between the elements are what will make the difference.
