Let's get started!
When it comes to planning a wedding, movies can serve as a source of inspiration. Whether it’s helping you choose the kind of decor you want, crafting your vows, or simply setting the ambiance, cinematic weddings provide endless ideas to make your big day special. From timeless classics to modern rom-coms, here are some of the best wedding movies that can inspire your dream wedding and entertain wedding guests this season.
Crazy Rich Asians
Crazy Rich Asians is a fun watch, whether you have read the books or not. The relationship dynamics between Rachel and Nick, as well as between Rachel and Nick’s family, are captivating. The inspiration comes alive in the wedding scene, which you'll recognize immediately. The decor is extravagantly set, and the venue has an understated yet luxurious feel, straight out of a hazy dream. The bride's entrance is a powerful moment, captivating as she walks on water while guests hold little butterfly sticks that flutter. Her stunning bouquet ties the whole look together without clashing with the decor or theme. There's also great inspiration for wedding guests and the wedding reception.
Bridesmaids
If you're a comedy lover, there are tons of hilarious scenes in Bridesmaids that will give you a good laugh. It's a classic film brimming with life and classic girl power, making it a perfect watch for you and your bridal party. Many funny moments from the film can be incorporated into your special day, like the memorable bachelorette party scene or the iconic purple bridesmaid dresses. Dance the night away with your bridal party, or maybe even lip-sync to ‘Hold on’. It’s your special day to enjoy with the people you love the most, in whichever way brings a smile to your face for years to come.
27 Dresses
If you enjoy a feel good rom com, then 27 Dresses is the right movie for you to kick back, relax, and pin some great dress ideas for your bridal party. The movie plays on the saying “Always a bridesmaid, never a bride,” showing a world of both, where you can see the joy and chaos of wedding planning, importance of self discovery, and the connection between Jane and Kevin form in a satisfying way. This film is a great source of inspiration due to the versatility of themes, whether it’s a barn theme, garden party, winter wonderland, beach, Hollywood glamor, beach, or even a star wars themed wedding.
BONUS
Jennifer Lopez’s music video for her recent song “Can't Get Enough” is filled with pieces of inspiration from decor and cakes to outdoor guest seating, flowers, getaway car, jewelry, and dresses. If you haven’t seen it yet, we definitely recommend it. Maybe you can even have it playing on the dance floor of your special day.
The underlying message from these films is that love is a treasured feeling and weddings are a special celebration even amidst the chaos of putting it all together. Years from now, you will look back and cherish the fun moments of your wedding day. There's inspiration in everything. Take a break from the stresses of wedding planning and watch a good movie to inspire you and get you feeling creative and excited again.
