Wedding Planning Tips

I’m heading off to a wedding themed cocktail party and need some help for a non typical costume idea.
I’ve already had these ideas but I think there are going to be heaps of these running around on the night:
- Shotgun wedding (pregnant bride)
- Frankenstein/Dracula/Corpse bride
- Hens Night
- Groom
We can go as ANYTHING to do with a wedding! You would think that would be easy but I’m drawing a blank.
HELP!!!!

I’m looking for creative ideas for my 1940’s themed wedding. I have searched the web high and low, but have only come up with a handful of decorating ideas. Any help would be wonderful!!!
P.S. Picture links would be the best!!!!
Thanks!!!

My best friend is getting married in the Summer of next year.. She started on her Save the Dates already.. The picture on it is of a beautiful Calla Lily… That of course is her favorite flower… The Bridesmaids are all wearing Lilac colored dresses ( it’s more of a light pastel purple, more the color purple you would find around Easter).. The groom collects pictures and things of Lighthouses, the bride is an Avid book reader.She has hundreds of books, pretty much all romance though. And of course favorite flower is Calla Lily… They are just going to do the Hershey mini bars as their wedding favors, with a cute little personalized message wrapper on them.. The problem is, they keep getting asked what their them is… They honestly don’t know, as they have only just started on their Save the Date cards.. They don’t even have centerpiece ideas yet… What would be some good ideas for them to work with? I’m racking my brain trying to help them out. They want to try to incorporate what they love into the theme, but how to do that is the problem.. Plus they are on a very tight budget, so they are trying to stay more on the low end of things. price range wise.

Hey guys! My guy and I are getting married in August 2014 (I know it’s a while off, but weddings are expensive!) We’re having an 80’s theme and we have a ton of cool ideas :
We’re hiring a bouncy castle and a giant slide (All in neon colours)
We have an ice-cream truck and a slush puppy machine.
We have a photo booth for a unique wedding guest book.
When we send our wedding invitations out we’re asking people to RSVP by sending a picture of themselves in the 80’s back, then we’ll use all the pictures in a slideshow during the reception.
Because it’s summer we have giant garden games including Connect 4, Snakes and Ladders, Twister and Jenga.
Of course we’re asking everyone to wear 80’s clothes, we also have a giant box of props (Inflatable guitars, glasses, neon jewelery and wigs etc.)
We’re using Rubix Cubes, Slinkys, Magic 8 Balls and Snap Bands as favours.
We also have giant movie posters to hang around our venue and we thought about having neon balloons in a big net above us to release as we have our first dance (Like in all the famous coming of age movies!)
Do you guys have any other ideas? I’d love to know what you think of my ideas and if there’s anything you’d add or change? Does anyone have any idea about food? We’re using retro sweets for our tables and as centrepieces, we have a 3 course traditional meal for our close family and friends. Later on we’ll be having a buffet for everyone else but I can’t think of any 80’s food or finger food!? Thanks so much! Any help is greatly appreciated

I am having a wedding by a waterfall in August and I want to know some ideas about how to decorate. There will be a tent set up and the ceremony will be on a balcony. The colors we have picked out so far are pariwinkle and silver. I wanted to use fairies and butterflies without making it look cartoony. I am so lost when it comes to the centerpieces as well. I have seen some great ideas but I don’t want it to be too much or too crazy. Any ideas?

I have already seen Brokeback Mountain, Kiss the Bride, Prayers for Bobby, and Sheter (My favourite of them all).
Thankyou

I’ve seen movies like mysterious skins, kiss the bride, broke back mountain, etc etc. from a few years ago, am just wondering if there are any recently new ones that I can watch online, or if there are any that you would suggest watching.
Movies that are maybe romantic, about being in the closet, struggles, overall good story plot. I dont really care for comedy like “Another gay movie, Edge of Seventeen” etc..
