Invitations

Gold embossing on the snow-white invitation card gives it a truly royal charm.
The execution of individual elements in yellow tones without the shine of metal will reduce formality and add cheerfulness and optimism to the address.

Images, photos or simply silhouettes of the newlyweds on a postcard in a gold frame look like the first family portrait.

Envelopes folded in the form of full-weight ingots or rolled into a roll with an elegant sling look interesting.

Play with the pie shape

Do you like creativity? Trust your imagination and create an incredible confectionery product that only you will have. For example, imagine your family as a large ship sailing on the waves. On its deck you can place a couple of figurines of a man and a woman holding hands.

Family life can also be presented in the form of a large book. As a rule, this is already an open book with written pages (after all, we’ve been together for half a century, after all). On its pages you can write the names of the anniversaries, indicate the wedding date, and even make a beautiful congratulatory farewell message.

Bride's image

In a bride's wedding dress, the main color is white. Using gold decor, they create the image of a majestic princess.

The emphasis is on accessories and decorations. The outfit is complemented with a veil with lace, a shiny hoop with flowers, a hat with 1-2 gold feathers, and shoes with buckles.

For a dress in which golden tones predominate, accessories are chosen with greater care (to a minimum, without burdening the image). Makeup in natural warm shades. It is better to include gilded lines in a manicure.

White dress with gold

Shiny golden inserts in the trim of a wedding dress can be made from light fabrics:

On a white dress, you can effectively use embroidery with beads or thread.

The dominant shade of the outfit should be selected based on the individual characteristics of appearance, eye color, hair, skin.

Bouquet

The best addition to the bride’s image at a wedding in white and gold style would be a bouquet of bright yellow flowers (Japanese chrysanthemums, roses), decorated with organza and ribbons in accentuated gold colors.
White and cream flowers are combined with details painted with golden paint, brooches, beads, feathers, and spikelets. The edges of the petals are sprayed with gold sparkles. The bouquet is made in a round or cascading shape, emphasizing the nobility and energy of gold.

Making a wedding bouquet from ribbons has become a fashionable trend.

Accessories

For a snow-white dress, choose elegant gold accessories (shoes, a small handbag, a hoop) so that they form a single ensemble with gold jewelry.

A cushion for rings made of white fabric is embroidered with yellow threads, or gold brocade is trimmed with openwork white lace. A bonbonniere for guests can look like a box (bag) tied with a shiny ribbon.

Exterior decor: confetti, brooches, beads, gilded flower petals, feathers, lace ornament.

Red Velvet Cake

The Rad Velvet cake, originally from America, is widely known throughout the world. The name is translated into Russian as “Red Velvet”; it is fully justified due to its taste and appearance. This dessert is based on red cakes with a loose and delicate structure, similar to velvet.

Groom style

The groom's image should look harmonious next to the bride. To do this, he puts on a black or white suit made of shiny fabric.
The shirt is also white, but other accessories (cufflinks, bow tie/tie, pocket square, tie clip, boutonniere, watch) reflect the color theme of the wedding. A golden vest with embroidery looks original.

If there is a themed wedding of a certain era, then the aristocratic costume can be complemented with a hat and cane.

Decoration of the hall, table, motorcade

The design of the wedding will depend on the location of the celebration. White and gold weddings are rarely held in open areas or surrounded by nature. Therefore, there are 2 options:

choose a restaurant with a suitable environment;
decorate the existing room taking into account its features.

General design requirements consist of the following items:

white tablecloths with golden toppers;
serving items made of white porcelain and crystal with gilded borders;
napkins, candelabra, small decor with beads, buds, gold bows;
decorative candles that cast yellow light on surrounding objects, professional lighting, yellow garlands.

The color of the walls of the banquet hall will determine the scale of the design process. For dark surfaces you will have to use more white and gold fabrics.

Heavy satin fabrics, delicate velvet, flowing silk create rich combinations with gold decor and embroidery. Chairs at wedding tables are draped with covers to match the white tablecloths.

The main attention is paid to the area for the newlyweds: the arch is covered with golden (preferably backlit) fabric. Airy tulle is thrown over the dense fabric. Gilded symbols and figures look gorgeous on white curtains: hearts, doves, cupids, swans, monograms.

Gold-colored balloons become indispensable assistants in decorating the ceiling and empty spaces.

The presence of the main thematic flowers is simply necessary on cards for seating guests, a book for wishes to a young family.

Bridal glasses and champagne bottles also contain similar patterns.

Vases with ikebana arrangements of golden and yellow flowers are placed on the tables. The decor is enhanced with stasis, glitter and ribbons.

Dress code

The theme of the wedding is most evident in the bridesmaids' outfits, but they don't have to be transformed into golden statues.

For this, fabrics with gold sequins and a cream base are enough.

The same approach applies to the suits of the groomsmen. They should choose the same gold accessories as distinctive details.

You can have a truly white and gold wedding according to the scenario of a royal masquerade ball with all the necessary attributes: golden masks, brooches, boutonnieres for guests, crowns, a carriage, wands for the newlyweds.

Cake with cartoon characters

If the celebrants love humor and are not satisfied with standard design ideas, their golden wedding cake can be made using cartoon characters. For example, these could be characters from the animated films “Rapunzel”, “Cinderella”, “Beauty and the Beast”, “Sleeping Beauty”, “Shrek” and others.

It is clear that when choosing such fairy tale characters, the confectionery product itself must correspond to the general theme. For example, if your choice fell on the fairy tale “Rapunzel,” then the pie can be made in the shape of a large tower, in the window of which the main character is visible. She lets her hair down, and Eugene, who is in love with her, begins to climb up it (from the very bottom tier).

If a golden wedding cake is supposed to be made using figurines of Shrek and Fiona, then the product may look like an artificial staircase made from huge suitcases. This is due to the fact that cartoon characters travel a lot and literally sit on suitcases. Moreover, the largest suitcase will be on the bottom, and the smallest on top. Shrek will sit on top of him, and charming Fiona will sit on his lap.

Ideas for a photo shoot

In the photo shoot area, accessories associated with high society, royal courts and aristocratic traditions are placed.

There may be crowns of kings, treasures of sultans, masquerade masks, bohemian hats with feathers, works of sculptors and jewelers.

In this video - ideas for decorating the hall and table for a white and gold wedding:

The objects themselves do not have to be made of gold - you can decorate the general background, and the guests will determine the scenario of the photo according to their choice.

A wedding in white and gold colors is perfect for the historical themes of the event. It easily fits into themes of the Mediterranean (Rome, Greece, Egypt), the Great Gatsby, noble and boyar Rus', and the world of high fashion. Using different styles, you can achieve the effect of monumentality or glamor, but white and gold shades will always make aristocratic luxury the main feature of the event.

Important pre-holiday planning issues

Not a single festive event takes place without careful planning and pre-holiday preparation. Therefore, before ordering or purchasing a ready-made dessert, you need to carefully weigh and think about everything. To do this, it is worth calculating the number of invited guests. This must be done in order to know the approximate weight of the future product.

The second important point is the choice of the theme of the confectionery creation. For example, a cake for your grandparents' golden wedding can have a standard or multi-tiered shape. It can be presented in a nautical style, for example, if the heroes of the day had their first acquaintance on the seashore. The cake can be made in the shape of a huge car, if the celebration of the spouses is associated with it.

The role of beautiful decor

The decor allows any room to be transformed. Even in an ordinary cafe, which is not intended for banquets, with the right approach, a bright golden wedding is possible.

The Western tradition of on-site registration has also become popular, when the wedding takes place not in the registry office, but in any other place, after which a celebration with a feast takes place right there. This often requires creating a small hall from scratch, often in the open air.

To make the ceremony convenient for the guests and allow them to get beautiful pictures, the organizers not only set up chairs for the guests, but try to organize decorative arches, decorate the area with balloons, flowers and other details. Thanks to the decor, you can sign and celebrate anywhere. Decorating a wedding hall in gold looks great in the photo and makes a particular wedding stand out from many others.

Interesting! Even the bride's bouquet can be made in golden shades. Moreover, you can invite guests to the celebration like a king and queen.

A classic of the genre, or a simple pie

If you don’t like massive and bulky multi-story products, choose the classic option. This golden wedding cake usually has only one or two tiers.

It is made in neutral colors (gray, beige, white, pink) and contains numbers or sweet figures on top. For example, it could be a pie made in the shape of a small lady's hat in pink or red. Decorate it on top with a couple of large decorative elements, for example, several flowers and many small beads, curls, bows or drops are perfect.

By the way, the inscription on the cake itself (for a golden wedding) can be either three-dimensional (large or medium letters, standing separately on top) or flat. In the second case, the inscription is made using a special pastry gun filled with cream. Such letters are simply written, although they may contain light three-dimensional elements. And, of course, the holiday delicacy itself can actually be made in the form of the number “50”. These will be huge and edible numbers, a piece of each of which will go to the heroes of the day and guests.

Who is it suitable for?

Decorating a wedding hall in gold is a universal solution, as it is suitable for couples of different ages and looks beautiful both indoors and outdoors. It is more difficult to decorate a hall in gold when the wedding is planned to be themed, and the idea is difficult to relate to this color.

In recent years, traditional rural weddings with natural materials, wooden dishes and loaves have gained popularity. Gold symbolizes luxury and prosperity, so a rustic celebration with gold decorations will look strange.

Bridesmaid

Gold looks most beautiful either with white or with any of the dark ones. It is better to decorate in this style the room where there are no patterns on the walls. This color will be lost against the background of brickwork or wooden boards, but will look very rich on plain wallpaper or paint.

Weddings for which gold decoration is suitable:

fairytale wedding in the style of Walt Disney World;
a traditional wedding without a specific theme, when the bride and groom wear a white dress and a dark suit;
wedding in the style of the 20s and 80s of the 20th century;
Hollywood and the red carpet;
modern wedding in RnB style, while gold goes well with purple, black and blue;
traditional Russian wedding in the boyar style (with furs, expensive jewelry and traditional dresses of the nobility).

Cake decoration

If you want your cake to be decorated in a minimalist style, then sweet sprinkles and red berries can be the only decoration of this snow-white confectionery masterpiece or an elegant addition to the sugary bow. Tiers covered with white cream can be decorated with decorative satin ribbons.

The cake can be decorated with openwork golden painting and inlay in the Baroque style. Contrasting berry decor will emphasize the pomp of the moment.

White icing and several layers of ruffles will look great on this wedding cake. To add a piquant touch, contrasting tiers can be made in bluish or silver shades. You can change the weight, number of levels, decor, and cake fillings at your own discretion.

This confectionery product, if it weighs 20 kg, can feed at least 100 guests. When preparing it, milk, eggs, butter, yoghurts, fruit purees, fresh berries, fruits, gelatin, mastic and many other products are used.

What to combine with

Gold color goes well with any other. If you want to create an emphasis on it, then it is better to make the room white and gold. To dilute warm colors, you can combine gold jewelry with silver.

For a bright and youthful wedding, orange in combination with gold is also good; for an older couple, you can give preference to a combination of dark blue or green with gold. The decoration of a wedding hall in gold in the photo below is a good example of a combination of shades.

How to beautifully decorate a room

Decorating a hall in gold for a wedding can be emphasized and complemented in the following ways.

Inflate a lot of balloons with helium, tie a decorative ribbon for flowers to each one and twist the tip a little.
If the ceilings in the room are not very high, then a completely filled room with such balls will no longer require other parts of large elements. When funds are limited or there is not enough time for the entire room, the balls can be collected in bundles of 5-7 pieces, tied to something heavy and placed in different parts of the room. They will look more beautiful if, in addition to gold, another color is used.
Organize a photo area, for which you will need a stand with a stretched background. You can order a banner print at a photo salon and rent a special frame. These are most often indicated by the date and names of the newlyweds; for a wedding in gold tones, you should consider the design and color scheme.
Since it is customary to give flowers for a wedding even during the painting, vases painted with gold spray paint can take care of their storage during the banquet. The paint is sold in a craft store, and vases can be bought cheaply even in a supermarket.
The walls can be draped with golden organza from a curtain store.

It is better to divide the scope of work into the room itself and the tables. It will be much more convenient this way.

Guest tables

It is best to play with contrast on the table, so you can use either gold dishes or gold tablecloths separately. As an option: the tablecloth is laid in white, and one gold table runner is placed on top; napkins under the place settings are also used in gold.

Placement cards are easy to make in gold. If you have a limited budget, you can print them on regular white thick paper, and apply beautiful patterns with gold gouache on top using a stencil.
If the backs of the chairs allow, they can be decorated with a wide gold ribbon.
Tables can be decorated with small vases coated with gold paint, into which various prop elements for photos will be inserted: mustaches, glasses, hats, and so on. This is suitable for a youth wedding so that guests can take pictures of themselves during the banquet.
You can place a flat bowl in the center of the table and place floating candles there. Soft light will add warmth to the room, and the golden color will sparkle in a completely different way. If the wedding is during the day, then this idea should be left until the evening, when the celebration comes to an end.

Newlyweds table

Finding wedding glasses with gold rims is easy, but if you want, you can have something unique made to order. Paired glasses with decorative beads and crystals look beautiful; there are also options with the glasses decorated with gold lace.

The newlyweds' table should be the brightest, so special emphasis should be placed on it. Often a decorative arch of flowers or balls is made near it, which will be located behind the backs of the newlyweds.

Other useful tips:

the newlyweds can inform the guests in their invitations that the wedding will be in gold, so that they can think through their image in advance;
Prepare small souvenirs for guests on the seating cards: gold butterflies for men and ribbons on the arm or as a headband for women.

Interesting! Consider other beautiful options for decorating the hall. For example, in ivory color.

Naked wedding cake

It would seem that there is nothing left to surprise those with a sweet tooth and those who like to post photos of food on Instagram. However, the confectioners used a trick and created a naked cake. It gets this name due to the fact that the cakes are not covered with cream, but are only spread between each other. In addition, the composition uses exclusively natural ingredients, and decoration can be made from berries and fruits, as well as flowers.

The popularity of such cakes is also growing among newlyweds. You can choose the design, decoration, taste and quantity of cakes yourself. Guests will be delighted with such a natural and beautiful delicacy. It can be ordered in specialized confectionery shops or prepared at home, without limiting the flight of your imagination.

So, to make a naked wedding cake, you will need:

flour – 1.5 kg;
sugar – 1 kg;
vanillin – 2 sachets;
eggs – 20 pcs.;
vegetable oil – 20 tbsp. l.;
baking powder – 3 sachets;
hot water - 20 tbsp. l.;
heavy cream – 800 g;
sour cream 20% – 400 g;
liqueur – 10 tbsp. l.;
fruits and flowers for decoration.

Preparation:

Initially, you need to prepare a baking pan and parchment paper

There will be 6 large cake layers, which in turn will make up a three-tier cake. Turn on the oven to preheat and begin preparing the tender biscuit dough. Beat eggs with sugar until a white thick mass is obtained, add vanillin and flour, mix very carefully so that the dough does not shrink, add water and vegetable oil to the resulting mass, knead carefully. Pour the dough into the mold and place in the oven for 40 minutes at 180°C. Thus, bake 6 cakes, if possible, bake two of different shapes (then you won’t have to reduce large biscuits to create tiers). Allow the finished cakes to cool, preferably leaving them overnight. In the meantime, you need to start preparing the syrup to soak the cakes. Pour sugar into a saucepan and add water, bring to a boil over low heat, add liqueur and boil a little more (but do not let all the water evaporate, otherwise the impregnation will turn into caramel and the cake will be ruined). The cream can be made not just white and creamy, but you can add food coloring to it, if desired, or use chopped fruits and berries (beat strawberries with cream until smooth, and so on). To prepare the cream, beat the cream with sugar and sour cream until “strong” peaks appear. The cakes must be cut into two parts (if their crusts are closer to brown than chocolate, then you should peel them a little with a knife). Place the first cake layer in the mold so that the cake is even and does not move out. Then coat it with a thick layer of cream - the one that was selected and prepared. Next add a layer of fruit

It can be thinly sliced strawberries, banana or kiwi (everything is chosen to your taste). Carry out all the described steps right down to the last cake layer, covering each layer with a thin layer of cream on top. Let the cake cool slightly and prepare the decoration. There are several options. The first is that the tiered cakes will be generously topped with berries - red and black currants, strawberries, raspberries, peach - and lemon balm leaves, and currant branches can be attached to the sides of the cake and sprinkled with powdered sugar. The second option is to cut out a triangular piece from the entire cake, which is then filled with a flower arrangement. To give the cake a festive, wedding look, you can sprinkle it with special edible glitter.

Such a wonderful dessert will decorate any wedding and pleasantly surprise guests.

Wedding in gold color. Decoration and photo of the bride

Gold color is the ideal solution for a beautiful, sophisticated wedding. A wedding in gold always looks luxurious and rich. Even if you are on a budget, gold will hide all those gaps. All guests will perceive such a wedding as an expensive and luxurious celebration organized in honor of the newlyweds.

The color gold is considered a symbol of generosity and wisdom. And if your wedding takes place during the colder months, gold wedding decor is perfect to add warmth and coziness to the event.

The golden color seems expensive, so those present will feel luxury and at the same time lightness, as well as the richness and simplicity of the family hearth.

Images of the bride and groom

The golden color of a wedding suggests that this shade will be present in the images of the bride and groom.

Costumes in gold color or at least with its elements look amazing.

In the fall, a wedding in pink and gold looks beautiful, and for spring, an emerald and gold wedding looks best.

There are many interesting ideas on how you can use gold color in the outfits and accessories of the bride and groom.

Let's talk about the groom first:

The golden suit looks beautiful. However, there is a fine line between luxury and absurdity in this matter. To avoid looking like a clown, it is advisable not to use fabric with a very strong shine.
If a young man is a fairly reserved member of the stronger sex, then it is better to use only gold-colored details: a belt buckle, a beautiful watch, a bow tie or tie, cufflinks, any details on wedding shoes. You can also purchase a golden silk scarf.

A bride in golden color can look like a real goddess who came down from Mount Olympus. The main thing is not to overdo it and follow some recommendations:

It's all about the color

After choosing the theme and approximate design of the cake, you need to think through its color variation in detail. For example, it makes sense to order a beautiful multi-tiered cake (for a golden wedding) made from gilded fondant. In this case, you can use only partial gold plating (literally make a few small strokes, for example, write 50 years together on a white background) or immerse the entire product in gilding.

The main thing is not to overdo it with decor when decorating. So, on a completely gilded cake there may be sweet figures of white doves, beautiful and delicate pinkish or yellowish flowers, thin twigs, butterflies, etc. Gold goes well with chocolate. Therefore, against the background of such a biscuit, you can put several chocolate nets and beautiful bows. But again, everything should be in moderation.
