When Carrie Bradshaw declared ‘where better for an author than to marry in a library filled with the most romantic stories of all time’ the first Sex and the City film increased the popularity of personal unusual venues and the Vivienne Westwood gown has been copied around the world. This second film is likely to inspire women all over again with its amazing fashions and stunning settings as the fabulous foursome return.
The survey of 166 women by The Wedding Planner School found that it was romcoms that were most likely to influence single women when it came to their wedding design. The most popular influences being J-Lo’s ‘The Wedding Planner’, the New York ladies in ‘Sex and the City’, ‘27 Dresses’ (hardly surprising with 27 weddings), ‘Mamma Mia’ and ‘Love Actually’.
Ruth Peacey, 21, was inspired by the wedding of Keira Knightley’s character in the film ‘Love Actually’. She explains:
“At the end of the wedding the bride and groom turn to leave the Church to be surprised by an orchestra hidden amongst the congregation and a gospel choir who appear from behind a screen. That was unique and really fun, and has inspired me to think of interesting ways to personalise my wedding and surprise my guests.”
The Wedding Planner School also found that 14% of women who were married had used film-inspired ideas for their big day, even second time around as Nicola White, 50, explains.
“The [Mamma Mia] wedding was set in such a beautiful sunny location, which would inspire anyone to think about choosing a similarly stunning venue for their wedding or going abroad. Especially for a second wedding where having done it once already, fresh inspiration is very welcome.”
