Plan an Old Hollywood Wedding

//  by The Wedding Shoppe

Immerse yourself in the glamor and timeless elegance of an Old Hollywood wedding. This theme not only promises a night of sophistication but also transports you and your guests to a bygone era of grandeur. From dazzling Old Hollywood dresses to iconic styling, every detail will evoke the classic charm of the silver screen’s golden age.

Venue: Star-Studded Ambiance

Choose a venue that reflects the grandiosity of Old Hollywood, like a historic hotel or a glamorous ballroom with ornate decorations and opulent chandeliers. The right setting will enhance the theme and provide the perfect backdrop for your spectacular event, making every guest feel like a star.

Dress Code: Glamorous Gowns and Tuxedos

Encourage a dress code that mirrors the elegant fashion of the 1930s and 1940s. For brides, think of Old Hollywood dresses with silk, satin, detailed beading, or dramatic trains, and for grooms, sharp tuxedos with a classic black bow tie. This attire will complement the overall aesthetic and add to the authenticity of your Hollywood affair.

Decorations: Luxurious and Opulent

Decor should channel the glamor of Old Hollywood with rich colors like black, gold, and deep reds. Utilize luxurious fabrics, feather accents, and mirrored surfaces to create a sumptuous and visually stunning environment. Vintage props like old film cameras and velvet ropes can also enhance the atmosphere.

Entertainment: Classic Tunes and Dramatic Performances

Hire a band that specializes in jazz or swing music to set the mood with tunes from the era. Consider adding a touch of drama with a classic ballroom dance performance or a short black-and-white film screening that guests can enjoy throughout the evening.

Catering: Elegant Cocktails and Fine Dining

Serve classic cocktails like martinis and Manhattans, and design a menu that reflects the sophistication of a bygone glamorous era. Think gourmet versions of classic dishes, which can be both a nod to the past and a treat for the palate.
