What to Look for in Venue for a Glamorous Wedding

Preparing for an extravagant affair requires a great venue that helps turn your vision into reality. You want your guests to be greeted in a classy, well-manicured setting with personal touches that reflect you and your partner’s style and identity. So before committing to any location, explore various wedding venues and visualise which one will make the wedding of your dreams come true.

For couples who prefer an intimate indoor wedding, hotel ballrooms, historical museums, and mansions are popular spots worth considering. Golf clubs, spacious courtyards, and gardens are also an excellent starting point for those who opt for outdoor celebrations due to their strong sense of grandeur.

Details for a Glamorous Wedding

Glamorous weddings are typically formal, so choosing a ceremony and reception space with a dignified atmosphere is a plus. But it doesn’t mean your celebration should be uptight and lack life and energy. Even a public park or backyard can be glammed up to look elegant and deliver a classy vibe. The key is picking the correct glitzy details that can transform your venue into a jaw-dropping wedding destination.

Create a dramatic effect with string lights, hanging floral arrangements, and tall centrepieces. Use variations of blooms and add candles to the reception tables. Consider metallic colour palettes; not only are they versatile wedding colours, but they can also add a royal touch to your party.

Food for a Glamorous Wedding

Match your glitzy wedding style with the best menu that caters to your classy taste. You have plenty of wedding food options that suit a luxurious party. But it’s a good idea to consider the season to help you decide on the freshest and most delicious options to add to your menu.

Start with wine and beer paired with luscious pre-meal nibbles and creative snacks. You can hire waiters dressed in a tuxedo or set up a cocktail bar to impress your guests. Charcuterie boards, fries, and kebabs are our favourite staples that encourage mixing and mingling. If you want to go all out and give guests the best wedding meal, a full-course dinner will surely make an impression.

Budget for a Glamorous Wedding

It’s no secret that putting together a grand celebration isn’t cheap. But, you don’t have to go broke to obtain the wedding of your dreams. Set a wedding budget and stick to it, no matter how limited or large it may be.

The average cost of a wedding varies, but the biggest chunk of your budget will often go to the venue. So if you want to achieve a posh look without breaking the bank, pick a wedding space with a unique charm and character of its own, like galleries, museums, and zoos. You can also host an intimate party at a historical site that already gives off a chic and sophisticated vibe.

Dresses & Accessories for a Glamorous Wedding

A curve-hugging silhouette will accentuate your figure. So own the red carpet and walk down the aisle in a mermaid gown or a lingerie-inspired trumpet style wedding dress with some ruffle details along the hips for added texture and drama. We also love the simple yet elegant impact of the classic strapless ball gown, shown in Laticia and Charles’ photo shoot, for the bridesmaids.

Don’t go overboard with your accessories, and allow your wedding dress to make you stand out and leave everyone in awe. To complete the look, wear statement jewellry like a pair of dazzling earrings to add a touch of sparkle to your overall look.

Bouquets & Boutonnieres for a Glamorous Wedding

When achieving a glam wedding, lush fresh flowers are among the crucial details you must pay attention to. Roses and lilies are a common favourite for wedding bouquets, especially if you’re aiming for a cascading style. A colour palette of cream and blush with hints of peach without any greenery or filler will also never go out of style and remain romantic and elegant.

For the wedding boutonnieres, go with a cluster of florals or one large bloom for a more modern style. You can also add bold greenery to balance out your boutonniere and beautifully harmonise it with your tuxedo.

Wedding Cake Ideas for a Glamorous Wedding

You’ll want to go big with glam wedding cakes. So instead of opting for only a one-tier dessert, go crazy with a multi-tier cake. It doesn’t have to be a gigantic one; a four-tier reception cake adorned with gorgeous blooms will reflect your luxurious wedding. Charles and Laticia have a gorgeous cake, classy and tall.

Ask your pastry chef to dress up your classic white cake with elaborate hand-piped icing designs and colourful edible flowers that match your theme. Maximise the spaces between every tier by filling it with lovely florals. It's also vital to pick a suitable cake stand and table to allow your stunning dessert to stand out in the reception area.

Reception Decor for a Glamorous Wedding

Sure, glittering crystal backdrops and shimmering chandeliers can create a glamorous setting. But there are some other things you can do to jazz up your reception venue. Include extra lighting and pedestal vases, or accentuate with colourful blooms and stunning greeneries to give your party area an astonishing transformation.

Make the most of your dinnerware if you don’t want to focus on floral features. After all, nothing adds elegant detail to a wedding reception better than a stunning tablescape. Try adding candles of varying heights as your main décor elements. They can illuminate a room, changing its mood and creating a sophisticated and romantic ambiance.

Wedding Photo Shoot Ideas for a Glamorous Wedding

Photo opportunities for a glamorous wedding are endless because there are tons of picture-worthy details and moments you just can’t miss. Of course, you have to have numerous shots of the bride and groom smiling and looking sweetly at each other. But you’ll also want to immortalize and appreciate the beauty of your party venue, the intricate cake, and unique décor elements even after years.

You also don’t want to miss the behind-the-scenes of the wedding day preparation, photos of the happy bridesmaids with the bride, the adorable flower girls, and the family and friends’ reaction upon seeing the bride walking down the aisle.

Wedding Reception Music and Entertainment for a Glamorous Wedding

Music plays a crucial role in creating the mood for your big day. It allows attendees to take part in the celebration of your union and sets a romantic and sophisticated atmosphere in your reception area. Instead of creating a wedding music playlist to play in the background, consider hiring a string quartet or a singer to provide live music and entertainment for your guests.

You can also work with an experienced pianist to add a sophisticated element to your fancy affair. A professional musician can provide a music background for your first dance as a couple or a cocktail hour.

Glamorous Wedding with the Cutest Flower Girls Ever

Laticia and Charlie’s wedding earlier this year in Perth was one for the books. With the two most adorable flower girls I’ve ever seen, a Pallas Couture wedding dress, a four-tier flower-filled wedding cake, beautiful blooms by Flowertalk, and exceptional photography provided by Natasja Kremers – get ready to have your jaw drop!

From Jappalin of Flower Talk – “Laticia’s favourite flowers were blush pink peonies and David Austin roses so we styled her bridal and bridesmaids bouquets to compliment both her couture wedding dress and the bridesmaids nude tone dresses. At the reception we used roses of the same tones with silverware, crystal vases and candles. The ambiance it all created was very soft and romantic.”
