1940's Wedding
| I'm also planning a 1940's wedding and have gotten alot of splendid ideas just surfing the web. But first I did some research on the era. It was very Hollywood and glamour. So my gown is a replica of a starlet's day gown, very liquid sleek, sophisticated, sexy with sholder pads. The veil is very short attached to to a splendid 40's hat that lays low down near an eye, at an angle. Calla lilies were the accepted wedding flower. My centerpieces are really neat (e-mail me and I'll send you a picture). Favors are miniature calla lily candles. I'm also having a crescent moon fashioned to use as a backdrop for pictures (remember seeing those starlets sitting on a half moon looking so sad). I'll be more than happy to send anyone pictures if interested. |

| Can you please send me pictures of your centerpieces, i was thinking calla lilies, with maybe like pearls in the bottom of the vase or draped in the flower somehow.... Also do you have any good ideas for invitations? |

Dear Edith,
I know your post is quite old but I hope you will answer anyway.
I'm trying to write a book and there is alove story in it but it happens in 1947 and I do not have any clue how a wedding in this year looked like.
The couple is about to marry and I'd like to let to describe it as it really is. So I hope you may help me and tell me which flowers were used and what was part of the wedding vow. Did they write it theirselfe or did they use a text from the bible? And what kind of dresses wore the bride and the bridegroom? Maybe you could also tell me things you know and I didn't asked.
If my english isn't this good, don't wonder, I'm from Germany, but I'd like to know about these things because it happens in america.
Thanking you in anticipation.
Yours,
Steffi |
