So we’ve talked about fantasy sports weddings and those based on, shall we say, less-than-realistic teen novels, but what about another kind of fantasy: movies?
Why stop at the reception? Just take the whole wedding to the storefront!
Hollywood wants us to think that movies are the ultimate fantasy, and in many ways they are — they’re escapist fare that lets us imagine ourselves as a superhero, a romantic lead, an unappreciated artistic genius …. or a maybe-call girl with a great hairdo and the best breakfast spot in New York. Yes, I’m talking about everyone’s favorite Givenchy-clad socialite: Holly Golightly.
With the play opening in New York next week, there’s sure to be a resurgence of popularity of the movie, and more specifically, the character (although can something reappear if it never really vanishes?).
It seems like many young women these days go through their Holly-idolizing stage — my daughter certainly has had her moments of wishing it was still fashionable to stroll around in a black evening gown and an absurd amount of pearls, and I know she’s not the only one. As far as wedding or bachelorette themes go, you could do far worse than this cute movie — although for your sake, I hope your groom has a bit more personality than human cardboard cutout George Peppard did (and that none of your guests feel inspired to speak in outrageously offensive stereotypical accents).
There may not be any sparkling things inside, but these still look delicious.
People have found all kinds of ways to pay homage to our favorite cat non-namer, from an understated Tiffany-blue-and-pearls-themed bridal shower to a mandatory cocktail dress and pearls dress code for a bachelorette party to a DIY party for — who else? — a bride-to-be named Tiffany. Apparently you can even find a way to make bacon-topped cupcakes fit the theme. Or you could just let this Pinterest account take care of the whole thing for you.
There’s some appeal to styling your special day after such a beloved fictional character — after all, nobody can tell you you’re doing it wrong, and everyone will probably be too charmed by the idea anyway to consider doing so. On the other hand, it’s pretty hard to compete with Audrey Hepburn’s perfect precedent of the character. As I’m sure the current Holly, Emilia Clarke (or, as most of us know her, dragon queen Daenerys Targaryen) has discovered, it’s impossible to think about Breakfast at Tiffany’s without immediately picturing Audrey. So, you tiny Belgian former ballerinas out there, you’re in luck. The rest of us will just have to do with practicing our personal renditions of “Moon River.”
