Hunger Games Wedding Inspiration and Ideas
The fans are hungry and ready for their next helping! The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, the highly anticipated sequel to 2011′s The Hunger Games, premieres today nationwide. In celebration of its release, today’s blog post features three fun ways to weave this dystopian story into your wedding stationery, fashion, and decor. Feast your eyes on the loveliness below.
Bow and Arrows
Katniss Everdeen, the heroine of the book and film series, is a skilled archeress whose bow-hunting skills come into play quite often throughout the series. Since bow and arrows also hint at love–and Cupid’s arrow—this theme would be a lovely addition to your wedding day.
There’s so many fun ways to aim at this theme:
- Arrows “shooting” into your wedding cake
- Inscriptions on your wedding bands
- Bow and arrows hung from the ceiling or as table displays
To keep the look light and romantic, you could try a softer color scheme with gilded touches, as illustrated on the inspiration board below. Our Love Arrows stationery suite offers an airy palette that complements this theme very well.
Enchanted Forest
The annual Hunger Games takes place inside a giant arena—a sprawling
landscape filled with dense forests, rolling meadows, grassy fields and
rushing streams. This woodland panorama lends itself nicely to a rustic,
outdoorsy wedding theme.
There’s a bounty of beauty and nature to explore for this theme:
- Owl/bird feather boutonnieres
- Twigs, berries, and pine needles
- Botanical, organic hairpieces
- Rustic wedding cake or dessert
You could even kick-off your woodsy wedding theme with a tree-laden
Save the Date, such as the one pictured below, or another nature-inspired
Save the Date design.
Fiery Fashion
If you saw the first film, then you’ll probably remember one of the more striking scenes: Katniss and Peeta, riding into the arena on a chariot, their outfits bursting in flames (literally). Fire remains a strong
theme throughout the series, as evidenced in the name of the sequel Catching Fire.
Why not heat up your wedding day with some fiery fashion and decor? A
simmering palette of reds, oranges, and yellows can ignite this theme,
as shown on the inspiration board below. From ombre patterning to
roast-your-own s’mores (how fun is that?), there’s a lot of fun ways to
turn the heat up on this theme.
Our stationery suite
Whispering Feathers stationery suite takes on a fiery twist when personalized in warm red/orange hues, as pictured below.
