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

Directed by Ridley Scott in 1985, Legend is a tale of fantasy and adventure. A time when fairies and goblins roamed the mystical forests and unicorns were wild and free. The film features the Lord of Darkness, played by Tim Curry, whom sets out to capture the two unicorns who keep the power of light safe and destroy them only to keep the horns to create a never-ending darkness.

The two other main characters, Princess Lily (Mia Sara) and Jack (Tom Cruise), are in the forest at the time of the unicorn attack. Once the unicorns are hit, they run and Jack thinks its because of Princess Lily, not knowing of the goblins shooting the poisonous dart. As a game, she takes her ring and tosses it into the lake, saying whomever finds it she will marry. Of course Jack jumps in. But while he is underwater the top freezes due to the goblins cutting the unicorns horn. This is where the journey begins!

Filled with love, horror and amazement, Legend is a beautiful film that is showcased through a world wind of hues. With the fight between light and darkness, one travels within plenty of Earth’s natural color scheme. This cult classic is not to be missed. For a generation who surely misses the 80s, it has become a cult classic. For the ones who surpassed this great time in film, sit back, turn off the lights and get ready for a step back into the past where imaginations soar and Mother Nature takes over.

Color in Films – The Lovely Bones

color, films, the lovely bones

A story written by Alice Sebold, The Lovely Bones is a tale of heartbreak, reality, family and love. Director Peter Jackson created an amazing film that captured the true essence of the original novel. An expert on fantasy, he enables the viewer to really get inside the characters to understand how they feel and why. We can only imagine what it would be like to lose a child and this film opens the doors to that realm of not knowing.

With extraordinary cinematography, The Lovely Bones plays with saturated colors as well as pale, muted tones. This helps differentiate the real world and its sadness and the personal Heaven where Susie is looking down from. As her family tries to figure out who murdered her, you are taken to extreme levels of emotion that roller coasters its way through your heart and soul. Get the tissue box handy, sit back and be prepared to be amazed.

James and the Giant Peach is a classic film for children and people of all ages. Tim Burton brings this amazing story to life and allows us all to visit a place where our imaginations can soar. Originally written by Roald Dahl, James is stuck living with his mean aunts when his parents pass away. After some time, he meets a little man outside who gives him a secret potion. Unfortunately, James spills it all over the peach tree by accident but to his surprise the peach brings him a way to escape, explore and find happiness.

With all his little insect friends, he travels the high seas to find his way to New York City. Their journey is full of adventure and amazement. The color scheme used is full of life and holds a childlike feel, taking us all on the exciting trip with James we will never forget.
