Old Money Style Wedding
A fantastic 2025 trend, the “Old money” style can absolutely be incorporated into your wedding theme! In fact, we might recommend that you incorporate it! The best thing about this style is that you don’t have to have old money or even lots of money, it simply comes down to small design choices. Here’s some ideas for your big day.
Gold accents give the appearance of luxury and the more ornate the more “Old money” look they will have. From jewelry to place settings to cake decor, gold accents will give your wedding that decadence of class. A simple way to add gold without spending money is to get a good quality spray paint and paint decor items from Goodwill, dollar stores or yard sales so they all match and all shimmer!
Pearls give that heirloom decadence of “Old money” style and truly can be added to anything! Decor, desserts, flower arrangements, cake topper, Champagne glasses, napkin rings, invitations, signs, dresses… pearls are a quick and easy way to add class to any event.
A unique idea that you can incorporate into your wedding invitation, napkins, cups, signs and more is a family crest for your new relationship! Etsy has so many fun options from medieval style to floral to European. This is such a fun element that you can turn into a home decor piece that you will enjoy for years to come.
Soft florals mean colors, textures and vases that have a “soft” or smooth appearance. Light and easy colors like white, cream, peach, light pink, light yellow, maroon and green give this old world elegance. Bright flowers or funky textures detract from the elegance this style.
Dramatic cake decor, preferably white on white or gold on white with lots of details is the perfect dessert choice for and “Old money” look!
This idea won’t work for everyone, but if you know someone with an antique car… they really add to the photos!! Either as a goodbye ride or just something to pose with, these cars add a special touch. Also, black and white photos should be requested from your photographer!
We hope these ideas help you put together your dream “Old money” wedding celebration!
