Few things are as glamorous as old Hollywood, and classic romances can provide inspiration for your wedding. To create memories that are fit for the silver screen, check out these ideas.
Photo Ops
The key element of a Hollywood-themed wedding is the right red carpet backdrop for pictures. Sign Art Etc has all the options you need to create the perfect atmosphere. You and your partner can use one of our pre-set templates, or you can upload your own images for a more custom look.
Colors
For the color scheme, use a combination of gold, black, silver or red. The groom and his groomsmen can wear classic black tuxedos, while the bridesmaids can wear gold, silver or red.
Invitations
You can have a lot of fun when designing your save the dates, invitations and wedding website. Design your save the date cards to resemble a “coming attractions” ad, and make your invitations and website look like a movie poster. You can use your engagement photos and list you and your spouse-to-be in the leading roles. After all, you two are the stars of this show! If you’re not comfortable with photo editing software, a designer can get the right look.

Cocktail hour
Serve popcorn and champagne during the cocktail hour. Party City sells movie theater popcorn boxes that the serving staff can use. Many couples enjoy creating featured cocktails that will be served at their weddings. Veranda has a list of eight timeless cocktails inspired by classic films, like the Charlie Chaplin or the Joan Collins.
Decorations
Decorate your venue like an old movie theater. To add to the atmosphere, create “movie posters” using photographs of your and your significant other in various poses. Have fun with it! You can use different costumes to recreate classic movie scenes. Another way to set the mood is to decorate the venue with classic quotes from famous films. For your guests, create place settings that look like fancy movie tickets, or purchase them from Etsy.
