Medieval wedding tacky?

When I say that I want to organize a wedding medieval all take me seriously as if I wanted to exaggerate and organize the whole ceremony, very adherent to the historical context of the Middle Ages. Everyone thinks that I really dress in medieval clothes, as well as my husband. Everyone believes that the restaurant will eat with your hands as it was in medieval times and they all believe that music will be played lutes, harpsichord and strings.

All this would be really wonderful if you really lived in the Middle Ages but I find distasteful, in the sense that exaggerate, instead of being out of a ceremony where everyone is happy and are amazed, It risks falling into the grotesque because not everyone likes these things. And marriage is certainly my, but the guests do their part as they must take part in the ceremony. People have decided to do a fairy tale, but not only with an idea that is definitely cute, but coming to exaggeration. Type marriage to topic “Cinderella” where the bride dresses from Cinderella, groom as Prince Charming, arriving in a carriage with pink pageboy dressed as mice. Well, that is? Certainly at first glance it is nice, but after a while’ on second thought it would end up teasing the bride and groom.

I will not do a medieval wedding where we will dress in medieval clothing perfect and we will dress in medieval clothes guests, because it does not seem right to go to the people say “You have to dress medieval”. If one told me, as if they told me dressed as an astronaut in a marriage theme “Cosmic Space”, I also refuse remaining bewildered.

So I think that when you go too far with the theme, wanting to follow everything to the letter and applying everything perfectly, It falls in bad taste.

My wedding in medieval style, Medieval will be because?

Just for these reasons:

1. I wear a suit of medieval inspiration as model, although the color is ivory to light that restores most of modern marriage, while in the Middle Ages the wedding dresses were colorful. Even the shoes will not be traditional, but I put the boots with strings ivory, typical of the Middle Ages.
2. I will use as flowers for the bouquet of orange blossoms, which they began to be used in the Middle Ages and today, by now, fallen into disuse. Even in the hair combed to be the most medieval possible.
3. Instead of rice in the bags, I put the wheat grains as they used to in the Middle Ages in the villages of the people, and perhaps mischierò rice and wheat.
4. I'm getting married in a medieval church desecrated (because as I said I'm going to marry a Protestant rite) a po’ decadent in rough brick, very simple and without luxury inside. I will try the medieval torches of iron pedestal to be placed at the entrance, I will ask to the municipality of the country. It seems little but a touch really clear at the ceremony.
5. Tableau as the restaurant will use a billboard in the shape of three-dimensional castle.
6. The names of the tables of the guests will be the names of ancient noble families (Montefeltro, Aragon, Habsburg, Visconti, etc.).
7. The location of the reception was to be a castle, but since it is too expensive, I chose a restaurant from the ceremony in a park 10 hectares of oak, and this restaurant is all furnished with fireplaces and wooden objects typical medieval: lance, armature, tapestries, shields, etc.. It is said that marriages were all celebrated in medieval castles. There were only the rich nobles.
8. For the menu I will try to take game dishes where possible and, since not everyone likes (here comes the fact that marriage is yes my, but are also guests) alternerò with fish that at first I excluded because not typical of the Middle Ages. The cake I want three story ivy.
9. The favors: I'll try something typical old.
10. I segnaposti: I'll find something that recalls the medieval theme. So even invitations strictly in parchment.

Here, then,, that way everyone will understand that the issue is not the Middle Ages but it will be directly involved. Then there is also saying that I am a traditionalist and I can not give up the habit clear, traditional marriage that I've always dreamed of and I do not like to see my party as a farce carnival.
