A Wedding of Titanic Proportions

Fall is around the corner and so bridal season continues!

Ever since the movie, The Titanic, came out in 1997, brides have been having Titanic themed weddings. Various places throughout the country will cater to the desires of the bride wishing to have such a wedding.

The Experience

If you live in or near Florida or are planning a destination wedding in Florida and wish to have a Titanic themed wedding, check out “Titanic: The Experience.”  This exhibition, now located at the Science Center, serves as a wonderful backdrop for your special day.

Or if you live a little more inland, (more specifically, somewhere in the vicinity of Missouri) get married on the grand staircase at the Titanic Museum (Branson) and have the wedding of your dreams.  

Okay, so maybe you don’t have an actual replica of a Titanic in your area, well, don’t let that stop you from having a Titanic themed wedding anyway. Check out the site, Favor Ideas to help your create the ambience of the Titanic for your wedding.

Many brides ask their wedding photographer to shoot a “Titanic-I’m-Flying” photo of the bride and groom. All you need is a balcony (or something that looks like one). And then just spread your arms. Water is optional.

Then again, a getting married aboard an actual ship is always romantic, isn’t it?

And what about the Titanic fashions for your wedding?

Bridal shops like Raspberry Beret or costume shops will help you find the perfect Titanic-inspired gowns.

Of course, you can find a seamstress to make gowns for you and your bridesmaids. Find one who’s experienced in making period clothing like, The Very Merry Seamstress.

But be sure the dressmaker is reputable. You certainly don’t want your bridesmaid gown to end up looking like the one below. This dress was supposed to look like a blue version of Rose’s red dinner gown. This poor rendition would make any girl “jump,” if you know what I mean.

Check out Ebay and search for Titanic, Victorian, or Edwardian gowns to see your options. Many online stores on Ebay, like Romantic Threads might have what you are looking for.

Either way, it’s your day. It’s your groom’s day. Make it magical. Make it fun. Make it your own. And most of all…have fun!
