I'm also planning a 1940's wedding and have gotten alot of splendid ideas just surfing the web. But first I did some research on the era. It was very Hollywood and glamour. So my gown is a replica of a starlet's day gown, very liquid sleek, sophisticated, sexy with sholder pads. The veil is very short attached to to a splendid 40's hat that lays low down near an eye, at an angle. Calla lilies were the accepted wedding flower. My centerpieces are really neat (e-mail me and I'll send you a picture). Favors are miniature calla lily candles. I'm also having a crescent moon fashioned to use as a backdrop for pictures (remember seeing those starlets sitting on a half moon looking so sad). I'll be more than happy to send anyone pictures if interested.
I would love to see pictures. I'm getting married in September of this year and my theme is the 1940's. I could definitely use any ideas to make it as perfect as possible.
I am planning a 1940's themed wedding for a client and would love to see any pictures and hear any ideas you might have. You can email me at beautiful_brides@yahoo.com
I'm sensing a trend in the 1940s wedding theme. I would also like to see any pictures or centerpiece ideas that echo the 1940s theme. I'm trying to figure out my wedding colors and flowers as well. I'm getting married this August and I'm trying to determine which would set the mood for hollywood glamour the best. I'm going to be incorporating calla lillies and orchids.
I would love to see pictures of your wedding. My friend is have a 40's wedding and we're having a hard time with ideas for favors and centerpieces. Thanks.
My foster-care agency is having its annual fashion show fundraiser this October, and the theme is 1940s. We are stuck for centerpiece ideas for our 60 tables and would be grateful if you could e-mail a picture of what you did. Any other decorating suggestions would be appreciated as well. Thanks much!
