Pastel Color Palette

Start your planning by choosing your colorsin this case, elegant and feminine pastels.

Think pale pinks, yellows, purples, blues, and greens, Krawiec says.

Use them in everything, from decor to desserts.

This means you dont need to stress about your arrangements too much.

Grab a bouquet or two from your local florist or supermarket and scatter them tastefully throughout your decor.

Feel free to even borrow some ideas from the enduringly-popularcoquette aesthetic.

Krawiec suggests implementing gilded touches throughout your decor to add elegance to any event.

I love working with gilded touches," she says.

“you might quickly elevate a table with gold embellishments.

Intricate metallic details amplify an air of romance, glamor, and whimsy.”

Whether youre serving walking hors d’oeuvres or a full five-course meal, let their cuisine inspire your menu.

(Although, if you want to stay on theme, leave the French fries for the afterparty.)

Elaborate Dessert Displays

An thoughtful dessert selection is practically a must at any Rococo-themed event.

If the thought of an elaborate dessert table sounds intimidating and expensiveit doesnt need to be.

The Rococo aesthetic may be lavish, but its also accessible.

On-Theme Dress Code

It wouldnt be a Rococo event without a focus on fashion.

Implement an on-theme dress code to take your party to the next level.
