Today I will share probably my most favorite of them all: Old Hollywood! Sometimes I just wish I were born in a different decade-one where my day to day life was over the top glamorous and exquisite. Like almost all wedding themes, you can go a million different directions with your take on the details, but I am choosing to go ultra glam with my Old Hollywood post.
To get your guests ready for what is in store, your invitations need to showcase your take on Old Hollywood: be it glam or more “theme-y”. Going more towards glam, you would want to pick a simple-yet sophisticated invitation style and accent if of course with some bling 🙂
Or you could choose to really go towards Hollywood and do a movie-type invite
Either one will get your guests excited about your wedding theme and what the night will have to offer.
Your ceremony should be “wow”-red carpet as your runner, or at least red accents along the aisle. This image showcases how to do the red carpet-Old Hollywood look seamlessly without being overdone or too much like a theme gone wrong
In sticking with the theme, pick a wedding gown that is more form-fitted. Think “actresses on the red carpet” kind of a look as opposed to the typical ball gown bridal dress.
Likewise, your bridesmaid dresses should follow suit with something along these lines:
For your reception-ostrich feathers seem to go flawlessly with the Old Hollywood theme. You can use these in many options for centerpieces, but this one was one of my favorites
For your cake, keep it classy and simple or go all out glam
See, weddings don’t have to be the same as all the rest, or boring by any means-glitz it up and have fun with it!!!
