overloaded
Since there is very little context to work with, perhaps this will work for you since it can express both the sense of being very elaborate and excessively heavy.
Example sentence:
The balustrades on the stairway were overloaded as only the french can do.
The living room decor was so overloaded with primary colors that I felt as if I was in a kindergarten.
