When planning a wedding, you can find inspiration anywhere. From nature, the world, colors or your favorite hobbies, these are all places on where you can draw wedding inspiration. You can even draw inspiration from your favorite movies. It's out there, everywhere you look. The most important thing when planning your wedding is to make sure and incorporate YOU. It's your wedding after all and you want it to be just how you've always dreamed.
How Do I Incorporate Movies Into Our Wedding?
First off, sit down and start brainstorming. What is your favorite movie? What time era was it set in? What style does in portray throughout the movie? What is your personal style? These are all questions you need to ask yourself in the very beginning. Once you have figured out the style and theme you are going with, start deciding the basics. What type of colors, flowers and accents will you have at your wedding?
Wedding Colors – Incorporate your favorite colors. It's that simple. The theme of your wedding can go and all the little accents can work with whatever colors you choose.
Wedding Invitations –This is where you can get creative. Whether your wedding is out-of-the-box or more elegant, there are wedding invitations out there to suit both styles. For starters, your wedding invitation should replicate a movie ticket.
A movie ticket will definitely fit the theme of this wedding. You can even visit your local stationery store or find someone who is crafty and actually do a tear-off ticket. You can have a movie ticket that features individual tear offs with the reception information, hotel accommodations and the RSVP card. Guests can then tear off the RSVP card at the perforated edge and send it back! Absolutely adorable idea and definitely conveys the theme of your wedding from the beginning.
Wedding Flowers & Decor –If they feature flowers in the film, use those. Is your movie inspired wedding bright & colorful? Well, incorporate that into your wedding bouquet and decor. Is your favorite movie in black & white? Well, make black and white the theme of your wedding and incorporate that into all the little details. Place fun movie accents throughout your wedding. Have a movie poster created with your engagement pictures.
Include the wedding party in the movie poster as well and give it a fun movie title! If you're movie is set in a certain time era, play it up. Everything from your table numbers to your guest book can be movie inspired. Create tickets or miniature movie poster as table numbers and use a typewriter as a guest book, both of these ideas make unique additions to your wedding. Use candelabras for your reception centerpieces or even balloons!
Wedding Attire – This will depend on the theme and time era your movie was set in.
Reception Food –Again, stick with the theme and era. However, get creative and think outside-the-box when it comes to your food. Vintage soda pop bottles with colorful straws, a popcorn bar featuring different flavors of popcorn, popcorn cupcakes or a memorable food item from the movie all will make wonderful reception food!
It's easy to find inspiration for your wedding through your favorite movie. It's a fun way to incorporate your personal style into it. Everyone loves a great movie now and then, so incorporating your favorite movie into your wedding is a fun way to show off your style. Your movie can be a timeless classic, circus inspired, cartoon inspired or even sci-fi inspired. Just be sure to show off you and your groom's personality throughout your wedding!
