1. Cake

Why not make your cake unique by making it movie-themed? You can add a cake topper of your favourite movie characters, or ask for the whole thing to be decorated in a certain style. It's the perfect way to give your cake a more personal touch.

2. Guest Book

Replace your traditional guest book with a themed guestbook, and it'll feel even more special and sentimental. Your guests will be able to leave a special message that you'll be able to look back at forever and you'll be reminded of your favourite movie as you do.

Your dress is a great way to incorporate your favourite movie into your wedding. If you have a specific movie bride in mind, check out our blog on our favourite movie weddings and how to get the look! From Cinderella to Katniss, you'll find all the bridal inspo you need.

4. Table Numbers

If you want a slightly more understated movie theme to your wedding, table numbers are a great way to show off your creative side. Design them with illustrations from your favourite movie and name them after different characters for a subtle way to incorporate your favourite movie into your big day.

5. Vows

If there's a romantic or funny quote from a movie that you just love, then why not steal it and put it in your vows? This is a great way to make your vows more personal to you, and subtly include your favourite films in your ceremony. For inspiration, here are some quotes that we love:

If you want to take your movie wedding theme to the next level, you could set the dress-code of your big day to represent your favourite film. Whether you go for 1920's Gatsby-inspired glamour, or whimsical Alice in Wonderland ensembles, let your guests dress up in fun costumes. Nothing makes a wedding more fun than a spot of fancy dress!

9. The Rings

If you're movie mad, you can personalise your ring in the style of your favourite film. And if you don't want it to be as obvious as these examples, why not have your favourite movie quote engraved inside? Find jewellery specialists in your area here.

10. Music

Does your favourite movie have a great soundtrack, or a song that you just love? Why not have your first dance to your favourite track, or perhaps have some fun with the entrance/exit music for the ceremony? It'll make your first dance that little more personal.
