Host A Wizard of Oz Wedding

Inspiration for your wedding theme can come from anywhere---a favourite destination, book or movie can provide the kick start you need to start planning. After all, your wedding should be about expressing your personalities and sharing what you love most with your guests! On the subject of favourite movies, The Wizard of Oz, a true classic dating back to 1939, is rife with inspiration for a bright and whimsical wedding. Plus, it just so happens that all things Wizard of Oz are back in the spotlight thanks to the impending release of Oz: The Great and Powerful starring James Franco, Michelle Williams and Rachel Weisz. Directed by Sam Raimi of Spider-Man fame (the Tobey Maguire trilogy), Oz: The Great and Powerful is a prequel to the Wizard of Oz, and focuses on how the Wizard of Oz came to be. Needless to say, it's the perfect time to plan a wedding inspired by Dorothy and her friends. If you don't want to go all out with a Wizard of Oz theme, consider incorporating small touches such as your very own pair of ruby slippers. And if you do want to fully embrace the Wizard of Oz for your wedding, there are plenty of ways to do so---from a yellow brick road aisle runner to a gorgeous pink Glinda The Good Witch-inspired gown. Here are some of our favourite Wizard of Oz wedding ideas.
