Theme weddings are the latest trend for brides and grooms looking for a unique and memorable event. One of the most unique and classic settings is a wedding in Saratoga Springs.
Saratoga Springs NY has a reputation as a Victorian city, with a history that is rich in elegance surrounding the mineral springs and luxury spas, horse racing, gambling, and entertainment! The history of Saratoga Springs includes a long list of the “Great and Gracious” of the day: the Vanderbilt’s, Whitney’s and the Rockefellers, all of whom spent time here at one time or another. During its heyday, entertainers and starlets frequented the ritzy Canfield Casino and other venues, spending thousands of dollars daily and relaxing at the most luxurious hotels and health spas
Saratoga theme weddings offer a host of great ideas! The era of the great and gracious, the social elite and the ever-present racing world conjure up a host of ideas for your wedding invitations, colors, decorations and favors:
Signature Saratoga Victorian style: Elaborate hats were the order of the day in Victorian Saratoga, and make a marvelous theme wedding idea for both women and men! A little research into the famous era of the well-to-do in the Spa City will unearth some really great ideas into some of the traditions still encouraged today by socialite and philanthropist MaryLou Whitney!
Thoroughbred horse racing – of course! Racing has been synonymous with Saratoga for generations. The wedding colors or invitations could be the jersey colors of your favorite jockey, with horse or racing-related favors, table decorations, and an impressive ice sculpture in the shape of a racehorse!
Gaming and Health Spas – Gaming and gambling offer a lot of lighthearted ideas for your Saratoga wedding! Perhaps a bride and groom dressed as the infamous Diamond Jim Brady and Lillian Russell, both famous for frequenting Saratoga Springs during its heyday. Table settings and arrangements enhanced with playing cards…wedding favors may include a lottery ticket or a handmade Saratoga soap or spa item.
