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.
I would love for you to share your photos with me and any other wonderful ideas or information you may have, as I am also very interested in planning a 1940's Hollywood/ Glam wedding.
Anything that anyone could send, such as great websites they have disovered etc....
I am planning a 1940s event in work and are struggling for ideas for the centre piece on the tables. Would you please send me your pictures please so that I can get an idea. Also some of the ladies are not too sure what to wear so if you have any photo's of any ladies in costume I would appreciate it if you could send them to me as well. Many thanks
My son and future daughter-in-law are planning a 40's wedding theme and would love for you to share pictures of your wedding and any ideas you may have. Thanks so much!
Hi to all,

I would love to see what you have done for your 1940s wedding. I have a satin strapless cream gown, my entertainment is a singer that does Frank Sinatra, Johnny Mathias and that type of music, I still don't know what to do for the veil or hat. I have an old car set to be in front of my house and each couple that comes will have their picture taken with the old car. My invitations have an old car with the bride & groom standing next to it. It is a drawing, not a picture. I would love to see what you have done. My favorite flower is the calla lilly. Looking forward to seeing your pictures.
