In every Audrey Hepburn movie, her incredible style is so well represented, that it's made women everywhere look for an opportunity to mimic her simple, chic method. Today's wedding is based on the movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's", a role most people think of when thinking of Audrey, and one which she claimed was her most demanding role she ever played.
In order to properly represent the B@T theme, the bride and the bridesmaids need to bring in that Hepburn style, so I found this beautiful dress in silver that looks a lot like the dress Hepburn's character changes into at the beginning of the movie, and a similar style for the bridesmaids in black. For the bride and her ladies, gloves that go past the elbows, and luxurious large rim hats - all very B@T. Another nod to the movie is the pearl necklace for the bride (see photo of Hepburn). In the movie, Audrey's character often smokes a cigarette through a very long cigarette stick. Since that's icky, but want to mimic the style, the bridesmaids will carry a single white calla lily. Fab! For the bride, a lovely whole bouquet of the scrumptious flower. And the wedding ring? Tiffany's of course.
For the ceremony, shepard's crook flower holders with very simple white flower pomanders hanging from Tiffany's blue ribbon. The canopy, or chuppa, a simple structure in white, with more white pomanders on Tiffany's blue ribbon hanging from the top and the sides. The ceremony will take place around 9 am, in order to fit the morning theme represented by the movie.
I found some really neat invites from Imagine Invites in Tiffany's blue, which has in the series a neat favor box that screams Tiffany's.
For the reception, a breakfast of course! Espresso and danishs on little plate and cup sets so guests can easily walk around and chat (like Hepburn did in the movie), and couches and chairs placed comfortably around the space for guest to sit and nosh and chat. Love it!
Lastly, the cake, a pile of Tiffany's boxes. Couldn't you have guessed? Such fun to use such a great movie as your wedding theme.
