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.
Hi!
I'm actually planning a wedding based on the 40's now... Our date is April 18th 2009... I would like to see your photos if possible... Espeically of the "crescent moon" you spoke about. I have been doing research on the time period as well, and have several ideas I'm already going with. However, because of religous beliefs with my family, we aren't having any drinking or a dance. So I'm trying to come up with alternatives for entertaining the guests... Any ideas for that as well?
Thanks!
