1940`s Wedding

Edith

I would love to see the pictures. Please e-mail them to amnoriega@msn.com. Thanks!

What did your invitations look like. I am trying to find something that would work for a 1940`s style wedding.

Shelley:
I got my invitations at invitationconsultants.com. I think my item number is 8781. They have a number of calla lily invitations, but I loved this one. I ordered a sample just to be sure and it`s perfect. Now if you want some really cool 1940`s invitations that are definitely different, try decodezigns.com. If you have any other questions, just ask. I`m having a great time with this.

Hi, am beginning to help a dear friend plan her wedding, she wants to go with the 1940`s theme too. Would love to see your wedding photos.
Thank you,

Apparently, we`ve all got the same bright idea for a wedding theme...1940`s Hollywood! We are just starting to plan ours now. We`re going to use framed pics of 1940`s Starletts instead of the traditional "table numbers" and we`re thinkng of incorporating some Ostrich feathers in the centerpieces. I would LOVE to hear some of your ideas, and see pics. Any sites that you all could think of for some great decorating tips would be appreciated too. My email is terasa425@yahoo.com.

I would love to see your wedding plans, especially the crescent moon idea. The invites my friend has chosen has the bride lounging across a crescent moon and the groom in a tux hovering over her their lips about to touch. It is really a 1930`s look. Very stylish...

Hi. My daughter & I are just starting to plan her wedding with a 1940`s theme and would love to see your photos. The reason she chose her reception location is that my parents were married in the same ballroom 65 years ago and it is till very vintage looking-even the same light fixtures.
Thank you.

Hi, I am in charge of a Spring Formal for Utah State University and I am planning on going with a 40`s/vintage hollywood theme. Pictures and ideas of how you decorated would help me so much! I really want to make this event classy as much fun as possible. Thanks!!

Has anyone received photos they requested? I have not...and maybe because I didn`t include my email address, but than I would assume a post would be made here saying it is needed? At any rate, here it is. Zelda_zonk@yahoo.com

Once again, I have yet to wed. No photos.

Let me explain. I can only send pictures of the plans at this stage and have done so for many people. I have heard nothing in return from anyone. I do keep changing and enhancing and visited Blushing Bride which provided me with beautiful options.

Hi..I wanted to see pics of the crescent moon, not the wedding pics. Thanks for your response.

I would love to see what you did for centerpieces. I`m trying to incorporate as much as I can of the 40`s into my wedding as possible, on a VERY tight budget. Any ideas for decorations? Our ceremony & reception are both outside.
Thanks;

Hi, i have been seraching all over for a cute bridal head accessory to wear on my head. I am very into the whole 40`s little hats with the short veil and feathers. Do you recommend any places to shop? i live in california. May i see your pictures?

I also am wearing a hat as are my bridesmaids. I got the frames for the hats from www.patternstudio.com. I`m using BFC4475 which is a wide tilted brim; the bridesmaids are BF28P with a Juliet point. Both styles are worn low over one eye. The bridesmaids will have ostrich feathers that swoop down across the face. Because the bridal veils were worn in the back rather than across the face in the 1940`s (not necessarily ALL but it appears from extensive research to be the accepted way at the time), we`re trying to incorporate feathers into the bridal veil with a long streamer or something incorporating netting. Also veils were either fingertip or floor length. I`m not doing that with the slinky dress I`ve got.

FYI: Because it was during the war years, a lot of women wore suits with little hats while the men wore their uniforms.

Go to the library and get "Vintage Wedding" by Daniela Turudich. It has a wealth of information in it. Guess what they served...chicken salad sandwichs!

I would love to see the pictures also! Where were some of the websites that you visited to get all of your ideas? I am planning the same kind of wedding. Thanks, Erin

Hi there,

I would love to see you pictures.. I am planning a 40`s wedding and I am looking for ideas..

Naomi

One thing I reccomend is that you have a live band/ orchestra, No DJ. That would really let you keep with the period. Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, Glen Miller, and Louie Armstrong have great music and would help with the theme.
If you are going to have place cards or assigned seating, you can use old black and white pictures of stars from that period autographed to the person who will be sitting in the seat. The pictures can also be used as a great take home favors and you can kill two birds with one stone.

Cigarette girls passing around the favors of choice would also be a great idea.

Good luck and congratulations.

I have a client doing a 1940 wedding. I make wedding cakes. We are having a hard time trying to find pictures or ideas for the cake. We would be eternally gratefull for all the knowledge you have already aquired. Please send me pictures etc. Of any and all wedding preparations and ideas that you have (not just cake). Thank you so much, Marilyn mimimail@comcast.net
