My theme is Gone with the wind. Need advice

I like the green... OH i love GWTW...... cant wait to see how it all progresses, when is the wedding...are you wearing a big dress?!

Green

What about making them out of curtains?

Lol Ana!!!! They would boycott my wedding. So where do I incorporate the green if I do green dresses?

@Sabrina I'm wearing a ball gown

Hmmm...red, burgundy and green sounds like Christmas gone horribly wrong. In fact, I can't really see the red roses and burgundy calle's. Do you have a pic?

@Rae here u go

I like the style and color of the green dress, but the color combo is very holiday-ish. Maybe the green style of dress, but in a deep red? Here is a great inspiration board, I'm sure you may have seen. I love GWTW, too, my sister collects memorabilia. It would be awesome to have your photos done to make a "movie poster" for a keepsake, or even as the invitations or Save the Dates.

"southern gothic" is another good search term for ideas.

I totally just pictured everybody in hoop skirts trying to sit down. lol I'm excited to see where this goes and hope that the cheese doesn't get too... cheesy? Good luck. I say Green.

I like the green...but none of these dresses say GWTW to me.

I think if your theme is Gone With The Wind you should go all out and have your bridesmaides dress like Southern Belles and have them carry cute matching umbrellas, and don't forget the big hats! lol. It sounds tacky but there are ways to make it super elegant. Just don't buy "costume dresses" buy the period authentic ones. And I'd go with green.

I can see where ppl say Christmas colors... but i think it will look pretty.... idk. i guess i'd have to see it and i lOVE that you're wearing a ball gown, SO pretty.... i personally would choose parisols over hats... hats, even with a theme wedding are soooo.....hmmm, noooo, i cant... parisols would be cuter! and then the hair like she has in the movie, with the center part and then long and curly, but kinda pulled back on both sides.. LOVE IT Is the wedding around Christmas?! ALSO love the movie poster idea... but make it a smaller version.. that would be SO much fun to do!!! OH MAN...

Any suggestions for BM dresses? Please post pics if u have any

Lonyah, those flowers are awesome! I never would have thought of that!

check out this BM in the lace with sleeves...I like it: http://yourweddingsupport.blogspot.com/2011/06/get-look-gone-with-wind-wedding.html

Elegance romance and drama. No big dresses no parisols. Thanks goskall

Another romantic, but more modern take on the theme:

You can always use the green in the paper details, or jewelry. The leaves and stems provide some greenery to blend them. I think it can be done, without going too Christmas-y. I think there is a fine line between using the movie as inspiration and going too far. Hoop dresses are terribly uncomfortable! I wore one to prom, it was hot and itchy and awful.

We are getting married in a old church built in 1800's. Reception being held in a mansion built in 1800's

Thanks Rae

The reason Red & Green is "Christmasy" is because people really began going all out for decorating during the Christmas season in the Victorian age. This color combination was very popular during that era. Lush, vibrant, velvets. Purples, and blues as well. These darker, yet lovely shades allowed for things to go longer between washings/beatings without appearing drab. So, depending on how you use the colors and decor, it may not come off very "Christmasy" at all, but Victorian as you intend. I think it will be lovely. Perhaps it may even help to detract from any Christmas feel if you put the BMs in a similar style dress, but in different colors like the dark green, deep royal blue, and maybe a deep purple. I left off the red since you will have the red bouquets, which are gorgeous btw.
