Weddings With Movie Themes

This fun shoot answered the question: what if Dorothy and Oz fell in love?

The ceremony took place on a yellow brick road.

How cool was this hot air balloon boutonniere?

The detail on this cake was pretty amazing.

The stylists behind this Harry Potter shoot were going for a more grown-up take on the series. The result was an "earthy, aged but magical feel." With butter beer, naturally.

Love the hanging keys for place cards.

Candles, feathers, and paper goods with a Daily Prophet flair dressed the tablescape.

"What did you expect? Pumpkin juice?"

The planner behind this shoot described it as such:

"I was excited to figure out how to tie in a bow and arrow to a wedding inspiration shoot. I was ready to be challenged and ready to bring an edge to weddings that you don't normally see. By creating the Hunger Games wedding shoot I believe it really shows that absolutely everything can be inspiration to a couple when planning their wedding."

The cake took a romantic spin on the series with the signature mockingjay and yellow flowers.

The tablescape featured candlelight, golds, and romantic styling.

Wrapped homemade bread made a perfect Peeta-inspired favor.

From the photographer:

"My whole goal in doing this nod to Star Wars with a Han and Leia wedding was showing women that they can include their future husband's interests without making the entire event a themed kid's party. Subtlety and classiness can be infused in between the tie-fighters and x-wings."

Star confetti? Count me in.

Midnight-blue sequin tablecloths made for a dazzling display.

Even the cake was far from cheesy.

The vendors involved in this Safe Haven-inspired shoot explained:

"For the reception we wanted to go bold and fun with a wardrobe change & thought a patriotic and summer theme would be fun since they celebrate the 4th of July in the story."

A quote from the Nicholas Sparks book turned movie made for sweet signage.

Trinkets added film flair.

This shoot was inspired by Bella and Edward's wedding in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, but with a twist. The stylist set the scene in California with some '20s art deco and vintage flair. The name cards tied to chess pieces was a nice touch.

The color scheme had its roots in Bella's sapphire hair combs but then had browns, whites, and grays inspired by a California forest.

A Bloody Mary bar made for a cheeky reference to the vampire love story.

Positively dreamy.

Some specific references included hanging flowers and art nouveau details, like with the paper goods.

This real Winter wedding was thrown for a German and French couple who met in Las Vegas. The bride, Sabrina, explained the Alice in Wonderland theme:

"A lot of fantasy is needed to think about the fact that two people from two different countries, with two different languages met in Vegas, fall in love and get married. That's actually how we found our wedding theme: FANTASY! And what reflects fantasy better than Alice in Wonderland!?"

Love the Mad Hatter-esque tea party setup.

The details were spot-on, including character place cards.

This cake featured illustrations from the books.

Even the bridal party dressed for the theme.

This wedding shoot was inspired by the warehouse scene from Indiana Jones's Raiders of the Lost Ark and played off a couple of quotes from the film: "Snakes. Why'd it have to be snakes?" and "'X' never, ever marks the spot."

The company that provided the furniture and props, Found Vintage Rentals, had this to say about the look:

"Pallets stacked to the ceiling, reclaimed wood, an abundance of trunks; the environment was mysterious. Piles of books created walls. Hanging chairs made the tunneled entrance. Trays became shelves. Luggage turned into treasure chests."

Honey & Poppies, who created the jungle-inspired florals, added:

"To me, tropical flora is lush on foliage and scare on actual blooming plants, so I wanted to use just a few really stunning exotic cattleya orchids and gardenias. Both of these flowers also evoke the 1930's and 40's (Indy's time period), when they were commonly worn by ladies out on the town."

The style of this wedding shoot was inspired by the 1996 adaptation of William Shakespeare's tale Romeo and Juliet. It was both gothic and romantic.

Bold colors mixed with love-filled details in the Miami-set shoot.

The theme throughout was "a legendary love." The angel wing paid tribute to Juliet's costume when she meets Romeo.

The signature cocktail was fittingly called "star-crossed lovers."

The look of this Brave-inspired shoot was "mystic yet ethereal" with "woodsy details."

Of course, the dessert table was filled with traditional Scottish pastries.

Merida wouldn't be caught dead getting married without her bow and arrow.

The tablescape was as wild and lush as the film's heroine.

According to the photographer, the shoot was an imagining of what a wedding between Jacob and Marlena (played by Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon) would have been like.

It was even shot at one of the locations used in the movie, the Orange Empire Railway Museum.

The invites had that circus feel.

It wouldn't be a circus wedding without cotton candy.

The getaway attire channeled the film perfectly.

Love this wedding shoot inspired by 500 Days of Summer, featuring many of the movie's downtown LA locales.

The tablescape cleverly incorporated the architecture theme, along with Summer's bedroom wallpaper and Tom's chalkboard wall.

With The Great Gatsby film out this Summer, we saw lots of beautiful 1920s wedding inspiration. In this shoot, the bride had her '20s hairpiece and fashion styled to perfection.

Glam meets romance.

Gilded cakes made the dessert era-appropriate.

If you loved the Up engagement shoot, you'll love this real wedding inspired by the animated movie. It included so many sweet details from the flick!

How perfect was this Up cake? What a fun, sentimental movie to incorporate into a wedding.

Multicolored balloons were a must.

The stylist for this shoot explained the Jane Austen inspiration:

"Like 'Pride and Prejudice' itself, it's a study in contrast; the refined, neoclassical sensibilities of Darcy meet with the wild, heartstrong tendencies of Elizabeth . . . The result? An update on the traditional wedding breakfast for the contemporary bride and groom, one that combines the elegance of weddings past with the playful individualism of the present."

I love this modern interpretation of such a classic literary work and film.

The bride and groom held portraits of Elizabeth and Darcy.

This dramatic, romantic, ballet-inspired shoot used Black Swan's black and white theme to its advantage.

And don't forget the feathers, tulle, and pointe shoes.

At the end of the Disney flick Tangled, it is alluded to that Rapunzel and Flynn get married. This shoot was a photographer's vision of what that would have looked like.

The color scheme of lavender, peach, and gold was inspired by Rapunzel's dress in the film.
