Rococo-Inspired Decor Ideas for Your Next Event

Marie Antoinette might have had her flaws, but one thing’s undeniable: the girl had taste. Whether it’s her influence or a deeper cultural shift, Rococo style is having a major moment.

Maybe it’s a backlash against the muted tones of the quiet luxury trend that dominated recent years. Maybe it’s the current wave of political uncertainty and financial unrest that mirrors the dawn of the French Revolution. Or perhaps it’s Sofia Coppola’s lingering allure on social media, with her dreamy take on Marie’s world. Whatever the reason, Rococo is back—with its ornate frills, intricate bows, and unapologetically feminine details—and it’s making a splash in party decor.

Here’s how to channel Rococo opulence for your next gathering:

Long Stemmed Candle Sticks

Line your tablescape with tall candle sticks, their wax dripping luxuriously onto ornate candelabras. This creates warmth, texture, and elegance worthy of a soirée at Versailles. It’s the perfect nod to the decadent dinners of the French court.

We love these twisted long stemmed candle sticks from Anthropology.

Bust Centerpieces

Nothing says Baroque grandeur like miniature busts of women adorned with over-the-top headwear. These sculptural accents instantly elevate your tablescape with a touch of historical drama.

Believe it or not, you can shop on Amazon for these.

Peonies and Roses

Embrace powder pinks and creamy whites with lush bouquets of peonies and roses. Overflowing, romantic arrangements will capture the delicate beauty of the Rococo era.

This florist has some seriously amazing inspiration.

Doilies and Lace Tablecloths

If Rococo is about anything, it’s more is more. Add layers of texture and charm with vintage doilies and lace tablecloths. These timeless details bring softness and intricacy to your setup, tying the whole theme together.

Etsy is a great place to search for tablecloths like these, in case your grandmother’s attic turns up with nothing. Shop Here
