How can you not have seen Willy Wonka? It’s just one of my all time favorite films, ever. The story is every kids dream, to visit a famous candy factory filled with tons of goodies. Although there was a remake, the 1971 original remains the best.

Based off of Roald Dahl’s book, the film tells the tale of five lucky children who each found a golden ticket in their Wonka Bars and have the opportunity to visit Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory for a full tour as well as a lifetime supply of chocolate. Yes please! Each character is very different and their personalities are truly remarkable and entertaining.

Their journey brings much adventure, to say the least. They don’t know it but Wonka has set up a secret test for all of them and in the end, only one passes. Little Charlie Bucket wins the prize which is way more than he and his family could of ever imagined. A must see for every child, this film is not only fun to watch but shares lessons along the way.

The color palette is one of bright and many colors. Think of a rainbow multiplied a few times. From the costumes to the Oompa Loompas and beyond, color is one thing this film didn’t lack. It’s a good palette to get inspiration from when planning a children’s party, for sure. Willy Wonka rules!

Theme Ideas for Weddings

Having a theme for your wedding, event or party can sometimes make it easier to decorate. But it’s also easy to go overboard. There is room to get creative though. Here are some great examples of themed events done right. I wish I was there to see them!

Movie time is a great idea. Everyone can get comfy and you can design the space with all sorts of props.Themed Events

The renaissance theme is also nice for events that are a bit fancier. Look for lots of silver and metal items and romantic flowers for that touch of pretty.Themed Events

For those who love camping and the great outdoors, an outside cookout or sleepover would work really well. Anything nature related can really be an adventure to put together. There are so many possibilities. From woodland and garden to the galaxy, they all could be so much fun!Themed Events
