When you think of your wedding day at the Versailles Ballroom in Toms River, are you picturing a scene straight from The Great Gatsby? Vintage Hollywood glam weddings have been around for ages, but it seems that they’re starting to make a huge comeback. Couples who love the nostalgia of glitz and glam the Hollywood scene offered in the 30’s, 40’s, 50’s, enjoy the idea of being able to feel like an old time movie star on their big day. Here’s a look at some of our favorite ideas.

Glitter, Sparkle, and Glitz

Old Hollywood charm was all about the glitz and glam. No matter what your wedding budget might be, you can pull off the perfect old Hollywood glam theme by adding a little (or a lot) of glitter and glitz to your night. Styling the bridal party in glitter, adding it to the linens and centerpieces, on the cake, and anywhere else you can add glitter, sparkles, and glitz helps to tie in the lavish vibe of the old school rich and famous. Ask our Catering Staff about all the sequin options we offer at the Versailles Ballroom!

Faux Fur and Feathers

Furs and feathers were big in Hollywood in the 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s. If you’d like to mimic a bit of that theme in your own nuptials, opt for faux fur and/or feathers. As you can see from the pics above, it can be incorporated into your style and decor.

Sexy Dresses

Going modest isn’t going to cut it if you’re a bride with a Hollywood glam wedding theme. In fact, going with a sleek, chic dress that compliments your frame is recommended. Think Marilyn Monroe, Joan Crawford, or Katherine Hepburn. Long, flowing, silky dresses with fringe, pearls, or jewels are an ideal fit for the occasion.

Traditional Tux

When it comes to Hollywood glam style for the groom and groomsmen, the more traditional, the better. All black, all white, or a combination of the two tuxedo colors will have them all looking rather dapper.

These are just a few ideas on how to create the perfect Hollywood glam wedding theme. Feel free to add some modern items or personal touches (like having your guests dress for the theme or pulling up in a fancy old-school ride) that make it feel more unique for you and your spouse to be.
