Like movies? Stuck for a theme for your wedding? Check out this idea!

If you and your other half love going to the movies and you are the kind of couple that use lines from movies in your everyday conversations then this idea might just be for you!

I like to listen to music while I work so while I'm steaming some of my gowns I've put on 'The best ever Wedding Music Collection' that I picked up from an ABC store - one of the three CD's has orchestral music from the movies and I'm having these great ideas running through my head!

Funny how music can do that! What ideas I hear you ask?

Ok, picture this...

Idea 1 - The Red Carpet theme

The Bride is dressed up to the nine's in show stopper! It could be a dress like No 123, 117, 95 or vintage Hollywood style with No 44
Everyone is dressed up like it's the Oscars
Tables are set up like the Oscars with a bankers lamps or single candle in the centre
Tables are named after movies awards eg: The Oscars, The Logies, The Academy Awards, The AFI's, The BAFTA's or the names of actors and actresses that have won an Oscar award

All the music for the ceremony and the formalities of the reception is orchestral versions of songs from the movies eg:

The bride walks down the aisle on the red carpet to 'Take my breath away' from Top Gun or 'Love is all around' from Four Weddings and a Funeral

Sign the register to 'Up where we belong' from An officer and a Gentleman
Sachet away to 'The way you look tonight' from the Frank Sinatra Movie Swing Time for the first dance under a spot light....ahhhhhhh...!!! A nice touch would be to have some professional dance lessons and keep it a secret from your guests then watch their faces as you WOW them with your moves on the floor!

Idea 2 - Your favourite movie together

Say it's Pride and Prejudice (Yes, one of my customers was lucky enough to snag a lovely fellow who LOVES this movie!)

Wear a dress from the era of the movie like No 1 or 37 which are both raw silk or the empire line style like No 96, 121 or126
Choose a setting like an English garden or a grand castle or stone hall venue
Dance like they did back in the day
Find music from this era or have the music live like they did back then and hire a band that plays the kind of music you need

Now imagine the above points for the movie The Wedding Singer...hilarious!!

Oh my goodness - you could have so much fun picking an 80's era dress! *GASP* think Lady Di in her gorgeous silk gown and those ruffles and huge puff sleeves or something like my No 20 dress that is just dripping in pearls!
Music from the 80's like White Wedding by Billy Idol, True by Spandal Ballet
You could do this kind of theme almost anywhere!

Well there - I hope that got your creative juices flowing - just put on your favourite movie soundtrack and let you imagination do the rest - just make sure you have a note pad and pen handy to jot down the ideas as they come flooding in!

If you ever need any inspiration - call me - I'm happy to toss around ideas with you!

All the best :D
