Planning a 1940's Style Wedding

As a wedding planner, a bride or groom want their wedding to be different from the rest. For this, they come up with new ideas and new styles. A nice way to make your wedding different from the others is to go back in time. Many couples are now going for wedding themes set according to various ages.

One such interesting and very fashionable age was the 1940s. To have a wedding with the theme as 1940s, a lot of research, meticulous planning and then careful implementation would be required. Having the theme alone is not going to make the wedding unique.

There should be 1940s in every little thing involved in the wedding. To start off, the venue of the wedding is very important. If you have the money and the manpower, you can convert an empty piece of land into a complete 1940s wedding set. If that is a little too much, you can go for a venue, which is historically connected to the 1940s. An old army mess or a 1940s park would make a great wedding venue. Since it was created at that time, it will have the 1940s feel.

Avoid all the today's decorations and go for the decorations used at that time. You can tell your florists the theme and they will ensure that the flowers and ribbons belong to that age and nothing looks modern.

Pick your wedding dress with the theme in mind. If you are getting a designer dress made. There is no trouble at all. Tell them your theme and they will be able to show you a catalog of the dresses at that time and then you can make your pick. If you are buying a readymade dress or are planning to hire a dress, check out the net for 1940s wedding clothes and then go there. Then you will be able o find something, which surely looks 1940s.

Give your card that past look. Try and use a little yellowish brown paper instead of the absolute white to give you that vintage look. Buy wedding souvenirs of something special in the 1940s. Choose the color and dresses of your bridesmaid with 1940s in your mind. Go for classic 1940 dishes in the menu. Avoid latest dishes and go for the dishes your forefathers had.

Don't drive out in Limousine. Hire a vintage 1940s car and drive you in that making a cool 1940s style statement. Select your music with care again. Hire a DJ who knows the 1940s music very well and tell him very strictly that no remixes or latest hit songs to be played. A little bit of careful planning for a 1940s style wedding and you can make your wedding far more memorable.
