December Wedding Theme: How to have a Vampire Wedding in Italy

“Dracula”, “Vampire’s dairies”, and of course “Twilight saga”... seems vampires are very on top lately. So why not to have a vampire themed wedding reception?

If asked, which was the most popular wedding of the year, most people will answer: the royal British wedding of Kate and William. Quite true, until now. A fairly tale, Cinderella story like weddings now belong to past. There is a new theme and new inspiration even for wedding parties: vampires. And probably the most famous and long waited for wedding of this year, was that of Edward Cullen and Isabella  Swan, in the “Braking dawn”, the fourth part of the famous “Twilight” saga. So if you’re looking for very special vampire wedding theme, and  you’re not exactly into dark and gothic, you should get some ideas from Cullen’s wedding.

Elegancy elegancy...

First of all: the vampire wedding is all about elegancy and class. There is no place for things to happen, everything must be perfect. Decorations worked to the last detail. Colour range: well, any dark you like, but as it seems a white vampire wedding may be truly astonishing event. First of all: chose the table liner matching your wedding. You can use black with red, black with purple, red with gold, well, whatever came into your dark mind. Then take care about the decorations:  drapes of black tulle hung from ceiling, candelabras and antic furniture. Still, if this heave and a little bit exaggerated style it’s not really you, take example from the modern Culllen vampires: strings of white flowers hanging from the trees, wooden benches and lots of magic light.

Here comes the bride!...

The vampire bride above all should feel good with her attire. Even if the dark gothic colours and heavy fabrics seem to be the most appropriated, there is no rule saying what you have to wear. Vampires were suppose to live throughout centuries, so surely they clothing changed. Anything, as long it is not so typical wedding gown will do. You can take inspiration from middle age wedding gowns, with simple lines ,or from baroque with all its lavishness. To add some vintage won’t be problem: just picture yourself in 20’ like flowing and long wedding gown. Of course, those brides who desire a little bit of tradition can take example form Edward’s spouse, Bella: her wedding gown was a true masterpiece, which combined the romantic simplicity with sexy and stylish look.

Music

The wedding is all about fun, so please forget the famous “Toccata” and “Fuga” by Beethoven (even a rock version), which unfortunately is being so often associated with vampires. Just pick up a compilation of your favourite pieces or hire a band which will accompany you and your guests all night long.
