Timeless with Traditional Influence style couples in this wedding style love the classic, elegant, formal nature of the most important event of their lives, while subtly interweaving wedding elements or traditions significant to their family history. Ridiculously romantic, soft rose, champagne, ivory and white colors create the color palette for this wedding style.

Wedding attire for the gentlemen is going to be traditional, formal black tuxedos, and the best man will have your vintage band tucked away safely in the velvet ring box.  A set of tails for the groom might be a fantastically formal touch. Bridesmaids wedding attire will be in soft gold, champagne or rose colors, be light and airy, and appear to just float around them.  Wedding dress styles look fairytale-like with a long full skirt, sweeping trains and veils, lace, beading and sparkle. Romantic wedding hairstyles, makeup, and a vintage, jeweled hairpin are beautiful ways to complete the look for this wedding style.  

When it comes to wedding florals there is only one to turn to – roses.  English garden roses, tea roses, spray roses, sweetheart roses, and garden roses are all classic, traditional, elegant and beautiful.  A full lush wedding bouquet in muted shades or all white complement this wedding style. Delicate accents of trailing ivy, baby’s breath, or astilbe create a light and airy feeling.  

A hand-calligraphed invitation, tied with a silk ribbon, will direct your guests to your wedding ceremony at a wedding venue with classic architecture and a sense of history – think of an estate or ornate church – a place that holds special meaning for both of you. Villa Montalvo in Saratoga, California is a fantastic example of a timeless wedding venue with both strong architecture and soft gardens, and the Legion of Honor in San Francisco is an example of a traditional wedding venue that embodies a deep sense of history.

For this wedding style, for the wedding reception, guests will enjoy champagne in the vintage cocktail lounge before walking up to tables laid with creamy linens and china, elegant candles, silver chargers, and a hand scripted menu.  Personal wedding elements honoring your joint traditions, like a family blessing, cultural prayer, or heirloom decor will adorn the table. A string quartet will provide background music for the several served courses.  

Wedding photography for this wedding style will want to capture the light and airy coloring you prefer, with people, not scenery taking prime focus.  It’s especially important to you to be sure that you have professional wedding photos of the sentimental elements of your day as well – your spouse’s face as you read your vows, your father as he makes his toast, your grandmother’s rosary carried around your bouquet. These personal details are what will make your wedding incredibly special and unique to you and your new spouse, and what you will want to remember in your photo for years to come.
