Setting up a Victorian themed wedding means elegance, classy, and luxury. I remember watching Norma Shearer played as Marie Antoinette, the stunning beauty scene of the France’s imperial elegance, the day Marie Antoinette married to Louise XVI. Every detail set in the wedding should be perfect and rich, including the wedding information starter: the invitations. Sending out invitations with touches of ancient charm to the guests will be an invitation to the royal family wedding, for you are the queen, and stand out to be the best Victorian wedding invitation ideas.

These invitations should be beautiful yet detailed. You must pay close attention to the detail, such the paper quality. Premium European paper is reminiscent of vintage classical wedding invitation. They are also sumptuous, usually in the form of accented embossed borders, crafted on smooth white or ivory paper, scripted with calligraphic envelopes, and written in Victorian lettering, the fairytale ornate kind, and decorated with vintage-looking stamps. You may also add additional ornaments for your Victorian wedding invitation, such as dried flower, monogram, ribbons, bows, or even dove’s furs.

The designs of these elegant wedding invitations range from the classic embossed European Border usually formal Black Border cards, to the modern feel of the floral pattern design or flying dove border of the Embossed European. Ornate marbled pattern paper accented with a sheer ribbon bow can also be an exquisite choice. The lined inner envelopes can be added, ensuring lasting impression on your guests.

The wedding invitations themselves usually go along with the Announcement cards, Reception cards, Response cards and Thank You notes, which each piece should be accented with matching embossed borders, in the same premium quality papers.

In the first page of the wedding invitation, you can print the ancient English poetry or any other world’s famous romantic poetry bordered in silver in a semi transparent paper overlay, adding more opulence touch. One of the world’s most popular romantic Poets is Elizabeth Barrett Browning, for her romantic poets for her husband. One of the most common used in wedding invitation as well used as romantic poetry speech is The Sonnets from The Portuguese 43:

“How do I love thee?
Let me count the ways.

I love thee to the depth
and breadth
and height
My soul can reach,
when feeling out of sight.
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday’s
Most quiet need,
by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely,
as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely,
as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion
put to use In my old griefs,
and with my childhood’s faith.

I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints,
–I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears,
of all my life!
–and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.”

Until death do you apart!
