Movie Quote Table Names

"List your favorite quotes from all your memorable movies and use them (the 'appropriate' ones) to name tables for your guests. Have a popcorn bar with different flavors for your guests to partake in for the ceremony. Create invitations for your wedding that look like a movie ticket. Make your wedding greeters look like ushers. Favors can be mini flashlights!" — Euri Wong, lead designer at Bloominous [6]

Old Hollywood Groom

"We love a classic black and white color scheme to invoke an Old Hollywood feel to your wedding. Think groomsmen in formal black tuxedos, bow ties, and chic cufflinks." — Nathan Bellah, director of marketing at Generation Tux [7]
