Gone With the Wind

• Choose a wedding venue with wide-open spaces and a large southern mansion, like the one depicted in Gone With the Wind. Plan the wedding ceremony to end just before sunset so the photographer captures the beautiful backdrop from the movie cover. Choose a ruffled, lacy wedding gown with a hoop, giving the gown a southern belle look. Set aside a space for men to gather for cigars and brandy in true southern fashion.
  
  

An American in Paris

• The 1951 movie An American in Paris tells the story of a starving painter and a rich heiress who fall in love. Music, dance and bright colors fill the screen. The movie is a musical, so this wedding theme calls for a wide-open space for dancing. Serve classic French cuisine and play music from the movie soundtrack. Ask the DJ to include George Gershwin hits "Our Love is Here to Stay" and "I Got Rhythm," two of the more popular songs from the movie. Print romantic French sayings on name cards and invitations. Include "je t'aime" (I love you), "l'amour" (love), "honneur" (honor) and "jamais" (forever). Decorate in reds and blues, used throughout the movie to represent the U.S. and French flags. An off-the-shoulder satin wedding gown with a fitted bodice and A-skirt complete the theme.
  
  

Tiffany Wedding

• Tiffany and Co. is a famous name in weddings. Create a wedding theme around Tiffany colors without spending a fortune on authentic Tiffany décor. Theme your wedding décor, centerpieces, cake and favors with turquoise, white and chocolate brown. Fill hurricanes with turquoise water for centerpieces. Float round candles on the tinted water. Order turquoise favor boxes embossed with the last name of the groom, i.e., "James and Co." Wrap gift boxes with white satin ribbon and bows. Order a multi-tiered cake with turquoise fondant and white stain bows on each layer.
  
  

Beach Wedding

• Walking down an aisle of sand lit with tiki torches toward the vast ocean is a beautiful image. Throwing a beach wedding is different from holding a wedding indoors. Set up a large tent to shelter guest tables and food. Keep outdoor food preparation to a minimum, preventing sand from affecting dishes. Plan an outdoor bar with a signature drink with a beach wedding theme. Wedding attire should be formal, yet comfortable. Shoes are not required as the bride and groom walk on sand to the outdoor altar. Protect the wedding cake with mosquito netting or keep it indoors until it is time for the cake-cutting ceremony.
