Fun, fly and fabulous! Wanting to feel at your most glamorous is standard for any bride and groom organising a wedding, so what better way to do that than by theming your day around Hollywood glamour. Blacks, golds and reds are certainly a popular colour in this stunning theme, so take a look at our guide to hosting your very own glamorous Hollywood wedding.

A Guide to Hollywood Glamour

Invites

If you're planning on some save the dates, why not send your guests their ticket to the stars with a cinema ticket style invite?

The Venue

A well-lit ballroom wouldn't go amiss in the Hollywood heights.

But if you're going for a beautiful barn, that doesn't mean a few aptly draped curtains can't transform it into your very own La-La Land.

The Bride

Fitted gowns are a favourite of the stars - just look at the train on this beautiful dress.

Some show-stopping back detail can certainly capture everyone's attention in your walk up the aisle.

Don't forget the jewellery! These droplet earrings from Ivory & Co are the perfect finishing touch.

Suits

Our gents have never looked so suave! A tailored suit with a cheeky bow tie really is the way to go.

But who said it had to be black?

Bridesmaids

Your girls even get the chance to feel like stars on the red carpet.

Hair and makeup

Red lips and slick eyeliner are classic if you want to go for the sultry and sensuous bride. Team it with some loose curls for an effortless look.

If you fancy a hairpiece to go with your gown, this show-stopper would look gorgeous as a throwback to the roaring 20s.

Flowers

The bouquet doesn't just have to be simply floral; a sparkling brooch bouquet is a great addition to tie in with your theme.

Cake

Gold and metallics, deep red roses, pearls and monograms all work perfectly to capture the feeling of Old Hollywood glamour in a wedding cake!
