Create an Entertaining Movie Theme Wedding

Film loving couples looking for a wedding theme should choose the movie wedding theme. This rich and dramatic theme is full of intensity and glamour. From the unique invitations to the formal style, the movie theme wedding is sure to entertain guests of all ages.

Invitations to a movie theme wedding should be as dramatic as the theme. One idea is to use white invitations with black film reels across them. Another great idea is to create wedding invitations that look like an Academy Award. When the invitees see the Oscar, they will know the wedding is sure to be entertaining.

Brides should decorate for this theme in colors of white, black, red, and gold. To create a dramatic look, brides can create elaborate ceiling draperies using white and black material. Long strips of fabric should be draped from the ceiling to create a stage appearance. Brides can also choose to use a red carpet aisle runner to mimic Hollywood style.

A movie theme wedding should be very formal. The wedding couple may even consider making the event a black tie affair. The best time of day for a formal wedding is in the evening, so the couple should try to follow this rule when planning their event.

Music for a movie theme wedding should be elaborate. A full orchestra sound would be ideal for the theme, however probably not possible in most wedding locations. However, the next best thing would be a small orchestra group. Music should be rich and full sounding. There should be a very dramatic tone to the musical pieces played.

The reception of the movie theme wedding can carry the theme in a less dramatic fashion. It should be more laid back and fun. The wedding couple should consider hiring a jazz or swing band for the event. Food can be buffet style with formal servers. Ice sculptures add an elegant appearance to a movie theme wedding reception.

To decorate, brides can use black and white movie posters or photographs. Brides can make interesting centerpieces using oversized faux film reels with red, black, and gold balloons attached and floating above.

A fun decorative addition to the movie theme reception is to make a Walk Of Fame. The bride can make stars with the names of herself, the groom, their attendants, and their family members on them. After making them, the bride can get included members to place a paint handprint on their star. The stars can be lined up around the reception for a fabulous decorative addition.

For a functional wedding favor the bride and groom can choose to use videocassettes as place cards. Each cassette could have a guest’s name printed on the front. The bride and groom could get really personal by taping each guest a short message on their place card cassette. The message could highlight the relationship the guest has with the couple and allow the couple to thank the guest for taking part in their special day.

Movie theme weddings are fun to put together. Brides will truly enjoy the planning almost as much as they will enjoy the actual event. Using dramatic elements and original ideas, brides can create an elegant Hollywood style wedding and reception. So for anyone who enjoys a little drama in his or her life, the movie theme wedding is perfect for you.
