Lights, Camera, Action! Creating A Movie Wedding Theme For Movie Buffs
Are you a movie buff? Have you seen all of the Film Academy's
list of the top 100 best movies ever made? Can you recite verses
from Citizen Kane and Casablanca? If this describes you and your
significant other, then you may want to consider having a movie
wedding theme.
There are thousands of ideas for creating a movie wedding theme.
You can focus on one movie that you are really crazy about, and
design the reception according to that particular movie, or you
can decorate the wedding with a variety of different movie-related
paraphernalia.
For movie theme wedding items, we recommend
Hollywood Mega Store
for a large selection and low prices. Also,
Shindigz.com offers many movie theme decorations. Look for
'Hollywood' under the 'Theme parties' menu item. For more online merchants, please visit our
buyers guide. |
The following article provides some tips and pointers on how to
plan the perfect movie wedding theme on your special day!
Celebrate With The Classics
If you're into the classic movies between the 1920 and 1960 time
period, then you may want to consider modeling your wedding after
one or more of these films. These movies were in black and white,
and set the tone for how Hollywood evolved today. These classics
are still highly regarded by movie experts as some of the best
movies ever made.
Some of the “greats” include: Casablanca, Gone with the Wind, and
Breakfast at Tiffany's. Start by identifying the time period for
the movie you want to focus on, and then set the mood by
decorating the wedding according to one or more scenes in the
movie.
You can dress in “old Hollywood” style like the main character in
the film that you choose (for example, Scarlett O'Hara in Gone
with the Wind) or Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's) and
then use the time period as a guide when creating the menu and
mood for food and décor.
Film Genre Wedding Theme
If you cannot decide on one film you'd like to model your movie
wedding theme after, then you can select one of your favorite
movie genres to base your wedding theme after.
For example, if you're crazy about musicals, then you can decorate
your wedding with posters illustrating some of the biggest hit
musicals or design the reception area after your favorite musical
film.
Present Day Hollywood Style
You don't have to know or like the classics to have an original
movie wedding theme celebration. If you're into Hollywood movies
today -- in the present time -- then create “a night to remember”
in modern-day Hollywood.
Rent a large red carpet for guests to walk down before they enter
your wedding ceremony or reception area. Use tiny Oscar-replicas
as centerpieces for each table or pick a famous Hollywood actor to
name each table after (for example, the “Julia Roberts” table).
A great way to involve guests during your wedding is to place
movie trivia questions under each person's plate. Those who answer
each question correctly, in the shortest amount of time, can go
home with prizes (good prizes that are consistent with the theme
would be movie tickets, DVDs, etc.).
The great aspect of celebrating a movie wedding theme is that most
people really enjoy going to the movies. Not to mention the fact
that Americans see a lot of movies every year! Having a movie
wedding theme will be fun for nearly all of your guests, who will
enjoy experiencing something they can relate to and participate
in.
So, if you cannot get enough of classic or modern film, or if you
have a film that you can watch over and over and never tire of,
then look into having a movie wedding theme! It can be a terrific
way to share your interests and movie-hobby with your friends and
family and it will a fun experience for everyone!
