The Wedding Movie of the Week: Classic Screwball Comedy- The Philadelphia Story

Why do I love The Philadelphia Story? Truly, madly, deeply love this film? When you put Katherine Hepburn, Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart in one movie about newspaper reporters sneaking in to a society wedding, you’ve already got an amazing thing going. Toss in a sarcastic little sister, various hidden agendas, and clever 1930s comedy repartee (perfectly timed) and the clouds part, the angels sing, and you’ll fall head over heels in love…with The Philadelphia Story.

Who Walks The Bride Down The Aisle? You Get To Pick!

Father’s Day brings walking down the aisle to a wedding planner’s mind. But some brides want a non-traditional ceremony entrance. Here are three suggestions for anyone who is looking for aisle traveling companions for their wedding:

  • Your Mom. She’s been there from the very beginning, loves you like crazy, and will be thrilled to be asked.
  • Your 2nd Favorite Man. Ranked just below the ring-bearing hunk, chances are there’s an uncle, cousin or best friend in your life that you’d love to have with you on that special stroll.
  • Your fabulous self! Trust us- you’re going to be radiant, and perfectly capable of coming down that aisle

The Wedding Movie of the Week: Hilarious Comedy- Bridesmaids

Can you talk awesome wedding movies without the brilliant 2011 comedy Bridesmaids coming up? I think not.  Bridesmaids was a triple threat: a chick flick with enough gross out comedy to keep fiancés laughing too, AND it proved to Hollywood that YES women go to the movies and spend as much as 14 year old boys, so make us some stuff with good storylines and characters, OK?  This one’s a surefire hit with the whole wedding party.  It certainly it made the My LittleFlower Shop staff crack up. Enjoy!
