Ahh, velvet...This Renaissance fabric is making the chic-est of comebacks in the wedding industry (and beyond) and you'll soon see why. There is just something so decadent about the feel of velvet beneath your fingers - so why wouldn't you bring all of that luxury over to your wedding? 

Perfect for the winter wedding season, velvet exudes warmth and coziness, without skimping on the style factor. Get inspired with our favorite ways to include velvet in your big day, below!

Velvet Wedding Ideas We Love

The Bride

Velvet and tulle are a match maid in sartorial heaven. And if you're not ready to commit to a full velvet gown (which is a great option for brides who want a dress color that isn't traditional) a long, romantic velvet sash adds just the right amount of texture. Put on a killer pair of velvet pumps to finish the look. 

The Groom

There's something so irresistible about a man in a velvet dinner jacket. But the lucky bride has dibs! 

The Girls

Your bridesmaids are going to look stunning in floor length velvet gowns. And they're definitely going to wear them again after the wedding. 

The Guys

Put your groomsmen in velvet bow ties for a look that is as trendy as it is dapper. Pair with a matching suede dress shoe that ties it all together.

The Ring

Of course you need a velvet ring box! And there are so many varieties and personalization options that it's going to be hard to choose your favorite. Make sure your photographer gets a styled shot of your bands tucked in all cozy. 

The Flowers

Flower petals add a lovely texture all on their own, but they look even sweeter tied up in a vintage velvet ribbon.

The Ceremony

Drape your altar or chuppah in long bolts of velvet for an instant fairy tale feel.

The Vows

Velvet covered note books are the perfect place to keep your vows safe and treasured forever. And they make for a great photo op!

The Seating

Vintage chairs are a velvet wedding design essential. Keep them at your sweetheart table to maintain that "royal" feel.

The Table Decor 

Lush bouquets, overflowing fruits and vintage glassware look right at home perched atop draperies of velvet in two toned berry colors. 

The Cake

A velvet wedding wouldn't be complete without a red velvet cake! The naked cake style mimics the fabric's texture and is still very popular with 2019 brides. Dress it up with some fresh flowers and an acrylic topper and you'll be ready for seconds in no time!

The Favor

Do your guests a favor and skip the gift wrap! Tie up their favors in a sweet square of velvet for a treat that definitely looks too pretty to open.
