After several years of false starts and hiccups, Hollywood is back and better than ever in 2024. That means that Hollywood-adjacent wedding themes are also on the rise again, and for good reason. 2024 gave us superstar seasons of hit shows like Bridgerton, which means that regency designs and themes are hot commodities this year. But what other themes can you use to make your wedding something that’s special and uniquely tailored to your passions?
Here are some popular themes from 2024 that could make your upcoming wedding a box office hit.
Bridgerton
Of course, we have to start with Bridgerton. The hit regency piece has taken the world by storm, and this season was one of the most talked-about ever. The theme involves regency decor and gowns, curl-rich updos and finger foods like tea sandwiches plus actual tea. It’s the perfect theme for an upscale wedding feel that will make all your Pen and Collin fantasies come to life.
House of the Dragon
House of the Dragon makes for fiery fantasy. While the romantic themes in House of the Dragon may be a little questionable, two things are not: the show’s utter popularity and unbeatable fashion. And a wedding theme based on HotD makes for some interesting designs. Castle decor, battle ball gowns and knightly suits could make for a fanciful and fun wedding party theme. And for food, think feasts like roast meats, rich pies and sweets fit for a king.
Fallout
This one is for your future spouse. While you might not automatically think of Fallout when you think “wedding themes,” we promise you that there are gamers out there who are already planning on the kitschy theme. Nuclear wasteland? Maybe — but there’s also the fact that the show and inspiring video game series was designed around 1940s and 1950s-style and decor, and that’s something you can take advantage of. Classic vintage dresses and suits, shiny leather kitten heals, and a jazzy futuristic robotic design blends together for a theme that’s fun, unique and almost out of this world – but not quite.
Deadpool and Wolverine
Deadpool and Wolverine go together like peanut butter and jelly. The only duo more iconic than Deadpool and Wolverine? You and your future spouse. This absurdist theme opens the door to whimsical designs, foods, and decor – plus you can invite your guests to come in costume, which everyone loves. But if you pick this theme, the only requirement is that the wedding party dances to “Bye, Bye, Bye,” by N’SYNC.
It Ends With Us
Colleen Hoover’s romance novels continue to take the reading world by storm, and now one of them has been adapted into a wildly popular romantic drama: It Ends With Us.
If this redemptive love story quickens your pulse, there are a few Hollywood themes to focus on to bring the vibes to your wedding: maximalism, Boston chic and floral. To embrace the feeling and bring the romance to life in your own love story, consider a two-piece wedding gown with a crop top and sheer floral overlay skirt. Maximalist design for tables, such as mirrors, picture frames and flower clusters add another unmistakable nod. And because the story is set in Boston, add a few local touches such as New England-style clam chowder, cannolis and more.
