Gangster wedding. Groom dress code in gangster style. Venue of the celebration

Scenario of a banquet themed "gangster wedding" written by real masters of their craft based on a real wedding. For an independent one, in addition to the script, you need to think through all the details well: decorations, outfits, music, then a gangster-style wedding will become bright and unforgettable.

The introductory part of the wedding banquet in the gangster style.

The entourage of gangster films about Chicago should capture from the very beginning wedding banquet(thanks to the author of the idea from the site Art-Bufet.ru), so even the meeting of the young is accompanied by victorious shots and jazz musical miniatures. Do not forget that it is better to pour all alcohol into teapots and coffee pots, because during the dry law they were hiding from justice. Wine glasses and glasses are also canceled - tea cups should be used instead.

Meeting of the young at the "gangster" wedding.

To the sounds of a jazz band, guests are greeted by Mr. and Mrs. Colt (leaders of the holiday) dressed in the fashion of the 30s. They always have a toy weapon in their hands, from which they shoot. Invitees should be warned in advance so that they come up with passwords. For example, "love is immortal" - for one clan (Guests from the bride's side)"No Prohibition" - for another clan (guests from the groom's side). While everyone is waiting for the newlyweds, the hosts distribute rose petals, rice cereal and small change to the guests, which everyone will throw at the feet of the young spouses. Remind me that when you say “love forever!” everyone should repeat this phrase loudly, whistle and applaud. If possible, the invitees are also given toy pistols and machine guns to make as much noise as possible!

Loaf in Chicago.

As soon as the couple get out of the car, they are met by an armed crowd of guests, who are very actively shooting into the air and throwing petals, coins and rice under their feet. Under all this noise with a loaf in their hands, parents come up to the young. A loaf can be baked using the symbols of the Chicago mafia - Colts, a bottle of whiskey, a fedora.

Mr Colt: Dons and Signorinas, meet the young! Long live don NN and beautiful dona NN! Accept, friends, from the hands of your parents this loaf and a small charge of gunpowder (salt in a stylized salt shaker). May this gunpowder be the last you use against each other! After all, today you got married, which means that your love has acquired immortality! Love Forever! Lord! Break off a piece from a Chicago loaf and last time salt the bread, yes from the heart! So that there are no more quarrels, no tears, no insults between you! Love Forever, gentlemen! ( the guests pick up in chorus and shoot with pistols).

(Greeting speech from the parents to the newlyweds).

After a parental greeting, Mr. and Mrs. Colt pour champagne from teapots into mugs. Mugs must be broken, like traditional glasses.

Mrs Colt: Come on, dona NN! Show class and teach all the ladies present how to cover their tracks (as expected, here the bride sweeps up the pieces and puts them in a bag with the inscription "evidence").

Guests cheer her up with exclamations and whistles.

Mr Colt: Now our esteemed families want to see proof of your legal reunion! Where is the marriage certificate? (while the certificate is being presented and demonstrated to all those gathered, the presenters take out three satin ribbons two meters long - gold, silver and white). Young husband, what do you call your beloved dona now? (the groom answers, and the witnesses tie a white ribbon around the waist of the newlyweds).

Mrs Colt: Young wife, what will you call your don after 25 years of your marriage at a silver wedding? (While the bride is answering, a silver-colored ribbon is tied around their waists.)

Mr Colt: Spouses, what will you call each other on your golden wedding day? (while the young ones are answering, they are tied with a golden ribbon).

Mrs Colt: Let your family life there will be no end and let it close only on the two of you! Love Forever! (guests echo in unison)

Mr Colt: However, gentlemen, let me invite everyone to the table. The heads of our esteemed families ask you to taste these humble gifts of the Chicago mafia in honor of the marriage of their children!

Everyone sits down according to the signs on the tables, pours alcohol into cups and starts to treat themselves, at this time the hosts hold a table game that introduces guests to the rules of conduct at a gangster party.

What does it have to do with such a beautiful and smart that they themselves would not have such a thing, perhaps.

(a short break to congratulate the newlyweds by the guests)

Opening of the chocolate fountain.

Mr Colt: All the wishes of a sweet and cloudless life could well be embodied in one very interesting idea. So, meet! Chocolate fountain! (when a fountain is brought in, you must first distribute Bengal candles to the guests and put out the general light, it is also not forbidden to shoot a little). Please, ladies and gentlemen, take these fragrant fruits on skewers and, dipping them in the jets of a chocolate fountain, say one wish to our newlyweds!

(about other stylish and unusual surprises and entertainment at the wedding watch)

The fountain should be designed for two hours, and everyone can come up to it and help themselves. As a variant of a sweet surprise, a large cake in the form of a skyscraper is possible, against which a photo of young spouses is set. It can be an image of a tape measure or an ajar suitcase with dollars and pistols sticking out of its ajar doors.

While the guests are eating and drinking champagne, Mr. Colt tells them the legend of Montezuma's chocolate fountain.

The first dance of the young at the gangster wedding.

After this romantic legend, it's time for the dance of the newlyweds, and after - for everyone else. This is always a very exciting moment, many couples would like their first wedding dance to be special. You can prepare a surprise for your guests in the form of an absolutely unexpected dance, the humor of which certainly no one will forget. The beginning of the dance is a classic, a waltz, and after it, without a hitch, the melody of Charleston and boogie, so popular in the 20s and 30s in America, will suddenly sound. It is these incendiary dances that everyone who wants to warm up should go out.

Dance Competition "Gangsters Dancing with the Stars"

Mr Colt: Fellow gangsters, take off your guns and let's show how you can rock!! Mrs. Colt and I invited Al Pacino and Michelle Pfeiffer to show real gangster dances, but they were detained by customs officers. According to our information, the American guests tried to carry five kilos of explosives and a suitcase of dope. Therefore, we will have fun on our own, especially since among you there are dancers cleaner than the stars mentioned above!

The couples compete to the music from the movie "Pulp Fiction"; if there is a screen, then in the background you can start up the famous shots where Travolta and Uma Thurman are dancing. The dancers repeat the movements, and then perform a solo dance. The winners are determined by the audience with their applause. The Audience Choice Award can be a CD with good jazz music.

Competition for a mafia wedding "Chicago Passion".

The host announces that this ritual game is designed specifically to ensure that the families of the spouses become related for real. Why do all the representatives of the "clans" stand in a circle, mixing with each other, line up according to the principle: lady - gentleman.

Task: as soon as the music begins to sound, the guests pass a kiss around the circle, but each of them strives to do it so quickly that the silenced music does not fall just on his kiss, because in this case the gentleman or lady leaves the circle. The three players who remain in the circle win. For them, CDs with jazz music recordings can become a pleasant present.

Congratulatory scene from wedding guests in gangster style

A themed wedding is increasingly chosen by newlyweds, and if the future husband and wife have an unbridled hooligan disposition, then a Chicago-style wedding will appeal to them and their friends. Young people will remember this event for a long time, and gangster style will suit adventurous, lively, young people. Many young people do not approve of a monotonous ceremony with a magnificent dress and a strict suit, where the soul cannot roam.

On this day, I want to do something that is pleasant and interesting, so that it will be remembered for a lifetime, so make your dreams come true, turn them into reality. The world of lawlessness, adventures, easy money and jazz will fill your evening. Imagine how much fun it will be for all the guests and you.

The basis of the style of the wedding in the strength of Chicago is a recreation of the era that reigned in the thirties of the last century. To create it, you will need minimal costs for paraphernalia. Women are happy to transform into ladies of the 30s, and men into elegant, reckless bandits. This requires not only costumes, all entertainment, invitations, transport and a banquet hall should correspond to the theme.

Solid cars, casinos, cigars, flashy suits and money - all these are the associations of those years that need to be realized during the design and conduct of the wedding.

Chicago wedding decor

It all starts with invitations, although this is a small thing, but it is usually paid for great attention. The first news about the upcoming event should fulfill its role, show the theme of the wedding. In an invitation made on the basis of an old faded newspaper, write a note about the event, time, date. An invitation can be made like a ticket to a cabaret or casino. It will be over modern approach, but depict mafia attributes on them - cards, pistols, add an image of the well-known Don Corleone.

You can’t do without imposing cars at a wedding, you will have to look for a vintage car for rent. If you cannot find such a rarity, then a stylized limousine is quite suitable. You can decorate it with fresh flowers and ribbons. Witnesses can take machine guns in their hands for a thrill, and offer guests a ride on a bus, first draw bullet marks on it and decorate it with paraphernalia of the 30s.

A gangster-style wedding must be held in a certain place, it can be a restaurant that needs to be stylized as a casino. Tables for guests can be arranged as gaming tables, several slot machines can be placed near the walls. Well, if the celebration will take place in the basement. It will bring those present closer to the reality of that time.

The color scheme should be in red, black and white. If you make an attribute of that time a retro car from balloons, this will once again emphasize the style of the wedding.

It is better to tighten the walls with a fabric of red shades with a golden drapery. This will help create a cabaret-like setting.

Chicago Wedding Contests

Any wedding should be fun, so you need to think in advance what entertainment and competitions to offer guests. If you take pictures of the newlyweds in advance, and to them comic captions, then you can play a comic auction "who will pay more for a souvenir."

If the hall is decorated as an underground casino, and it will be relevant and interesting to play a performance with the kidnapping of a bride by gangsters. Will be real gangster style wedding . The pursuit of the groom's friends led by him and the release of the bride will become the center of entertainment at the party.

You can play a scene from two mafia family clans who want to unite and marry their daughter.

Attire of the bride and groom for a wedding in Gangsters

This is such a link of the holiday that it is impossible to bypass it. The outfit must fully comply with the spirit of that time, both for the bride and groom, and for the guests.

The groom must wear real suit gangster. This is a dark jacket with a small light stripe, a hat on his head and a cigarette. To fully enter the image, you must have a gun (as close as possible to the real one).

bride for her wedding dress can improvise, but choose the usual Wedding Dress(classical) in this case is impossible. It should match the style of the 30s - these are fitted and tapered dresses with a length just below the knees or dresses in the style of a flapper. Low-waist dress in flowy fabric. Fishnet stockings and a low heel on shoes, gloves, a boa and a string of pearls will complement the look.

The legendary hairstyle cold wave» is made from soft curls. They give tenderness and femininity to the face. You can add it with a ribbon with feathers.

Particular attention should be paid to makeup. The bride must be pale. In those days, it was considered a sign of aristocracy. Thin as a thread eyebrows should be painted on with a pencil. The eyes are painted on from below, mascara and matte shadows are applied so that the eyes are expressive, intriguing. Complete the lip makeup. Bright red lipstick, and a fly over the lip or near the edge of the eye.

When you think about Chicago, the first thing that comes to mind is expensive car chases, gunfights, seasoned mafiosi and daring gangsters. So. A Chicago-style wedding is gangster and romantic at the same time.

You also remember that this is the birthplace of Alcapone. Hollywood made heroes out of ordinary gangsters, showed how elegantly they knew how to risk their lives and look luxurious even when they were being chased, which could end in death.

Venue in the style of the 30s

In the summer, country cottages, villas, clean picturesque glades in the forest or near a pond are ideal places where a Chicago-style wedding can take place.

In winter, for this undertaking, you can choose a country restaurant, a hotel banquet hall or a basement, which is well suited for "dark" deeds. The main thing is that there is a lot of space. Real mafiosi did not skimp on the holidays and always walked in a big way. A Chicago wedding in the 30s is an occasion to show others what real chic is and who is in charge in this city.

The room should be decorated in the style of Chicago in the 20-30s: dark colors, the presence of rich red and massive curtains.

Hall decoration and menu planning

At a time when gangsterism flourished, America's restaurants were decorated in black, white and red. color scheme. The combination of these colors resembles a deck playing cards, for which the mafiosi so loved to while away the time.

Tables can be covered with black, dark blue or red tablecloths. Possible and white version, but only if the chairs are dark or there are a lot of dark napkins on the table.

An interesting option for decorating a wedding room under a casino, which belongs to the mafia. Cover windows with heavy curtains dark colors. Burgundy will look good.

Interesting! The ransom can be held. It should fit well into the general atmosphere.

Walls can be decorated with posters with decks of cards, players, money. It's great if you manage to get dummies of machine guns and Colts. Posters are "wanted" one of the obligatory items in the design if a wedding is held in the style of Chicago. Photos with the image of the newlyweds will give the interior originality. Music at a Chicago-style wedding is only jazz.

Options for cakes for the celebration:

In the form of a roulette wheel
suitcase of american dollars
Retro car model
Edible casino building
Bride and groom with guns

Give the image high cost and chic long pearl beads and fur, which is worn directly on bare shoulders. Do not forget to complement the image with elegant ones, on a head decorated with a feather or a brooch.

A typical hairstyle for women in the 30s in Chicago is loose hair styled in big waves. You can decorate with hairpins, small flowers, a large red rose or a veil.

Interesting! Makeup is the brightest part of the image of the bride. Red lips, expressive black arrows on the eyes, clearly defined cheekbones and blush of a rich dark color.

The image of the groom requires no less care when creating. All details of clothing should be perfectly ironed, and shoes should be polished to a shine. If the budget of your celebration allows, then it is best to order a tailoring of a wedding suit, then it will fit perfectly, like a real mafia of the 30s. Suspenders and a hat will be an interesting accessory.

The classic colors of such outfits are black and white, but you can experiment with it. Will emphasize the figure of the groom a black suit with a narrow vertical stripe. An addition to the image of an American bandit can be a hat, expensive retro watches, cufflinks, or even a holster with a weapon on your belt.

If the length of the groom's hair allows, then they need to be combed back and well laid with gel. You can make a neat parting and create several large waves.

Scenario

Best of all, it will create the desired atmosphere when having a wedding in the style of Chicago in the 30s - live music. It can be jazz, blues and even rock hits of those times. At such a wedding, you must definitely dance, and not an ordinary waltz, but passionate dances like a tango or a twist. In addition, you can arrange a poker tournament, invite guests to play billiards, invite an illusionist or beautiful girls from the corps de ballet.

Don't forget to warn the host to look appropriate for your wedding theme.

We did not live at that time, did not see real gangster chases, did not talk to formidable mafiosi, but we fall in love at that time at first sight, looking at a Hollywood movie about that great bygone era.

The classic wedding is, of course, happy event, but it is difficult for them to surprise anyone. After all, all the guests approximately know what can happen and according to what scenario. Cheerful reckless young couple better organize themed holiday, which will not leave anyone indifferent from those present. For young people who have a perky character and want to play a little mischief, a wedding in the style of a gangster Chicago of the 30s would be an ideal option.

Unbridled courage, desperate actions, the ability to easily risk oneself, imperiousness and pride- all this creates a special touch of romanticism. And if we take into account the simultaneous severity and looseness of the retro style, which is indispensable here, then such a wedding will undoubtedly be a very bright and memorable event.

invitations

Any wedding involves the presence of guests, and they must, first of all, be invited. This must be done in a way that fully reflects the chosen topic. Here are some examples of "truly gangster" invitation cards, which are presented with certain requirements – aged yellowish paper and no bright colors . Fonts are selected depending on the design option. It is better to use one like a typewriter, a classic "newspaper" font and even writing "by hand" is possible.

Option one - anonymous

Sentences are assembled like a puzzle from words cut out of old newspapers or black and white magazines. The names of the invitees, as well as the newlyweds, can even be made up of letters of different sizes and styles. In order not to manually make a huge number of such postcards, you can prepare the base, multiply it, and only then supplement it with the names of the guests.

Option two - film

This option corresponds to the spirit of the gangster conspiracy. The invitation itself is printed on a thin long sheet of paper, the format corresponding to the size of the film. The names of the guests are entered block letters but by hand. For decoration, you need a film cassette into which it is easy to insert a folded sheet.

Option three - an old photograph

This invitation looks like a small book, on the cover of which there is a photo of the newlyweds. It must be processed in such a way that it looks like a very old, faded photograph.

Decor

Literally everything - from the place where the celebration will take place, to the smallest and most insignificant details should remind you of the chosen era.

Venue - Ceremony

The location of the celebration should also be special.. First of all, the ceremony itself. It can be mobile and take place in a neat small garden, where there is a place to arrange benches or chairs for guests and make a small “wedding” podium, to which a path leads between two landing “zones”. Around you can arrange small buffet tables with light snacks so that guests do not have time to get hungry. After all, part of the photo session will take place here.

Banqueting hall

For the main part of the celebration, it is better to choose certain type a restaurant or the like. It can be located below the first floor and symbolize the so-called gangster casino. The volume of the room needs to be large so that all guests can fit there without crowding. Large communal tables are not accepted here.. The ideal option is many small individual ones, behind which from 4 to 8 people will fit. If the room has windows, then it is better to close them with heavy curtains to create the appropriate mood.

The color scheme should be quite strict - black, white, brown. You can diversify them in red. At the same time, in the textiles with which the hall is decorated, there can be a lot of drawings. This is a classic strip, cage, imitation of the texture of brick or masonry.

You can complement the design of the hall with inclusions of casino elements - card tables, roulette, weapons (of course, its imitation), mirrors in heavy bronze frames. Any items that "came" to us from that period of time can serve as additional decorations. As well as black and white photographs, draperies, posters in the form of announcements of the capture of dangerous criminals - the bride and groom, and so on.

Table

Table decoration should also be in the style of the era. Tablecloths - black or green, imitating the covering of playing tables. Contrasting white cloth napkins with the names of guests will be both an element of decor and a kind of pointer. It is good to cover the chairs with covers that imitate tailcoats or elements of clothing. Dishes - porcelain, crystal and silver. Large dishes with lids will also come in handy.

Tall transparent vases that do not interfere with guests' communication can be filled with red roses and placed in the center of each table. Lighted candles arranged in a circle will complement them well.

It is very difficult to reproduce the classic menu of Chicago restaurants now. However, there are a few rules that it must comply with.

Firstly, the variety and richness of the snacks served.
Secondly, quite frequent changes of dishes. This item is all the more necessary because the tables at such a wedding are small.
And finally, thirdly, it is better to replace classic wedding drinks with whiskey, scotch and brandy.

Scenario

Already at the entrance to the hall, the host meets the guests, warns about the rules (no fights, drinking, etc.). Here, everyone is given a "pass" - a special playing card with a table number. Waiters escort those who came to personal places. Entering the room, everyone should contribute to the "common cause", that is, put on a special table banknote or some personal item. This stage can be combined with the presentation of gifts. After congratulations for the young (a representative of each invited family needs to speak briefly), the main part begins - a banquet. Here are toasts in honor of new family, congratulations from relatives.

In the midst of the event in the hall, all the lights suddenly go out and the bride is kidnapped. Then “armed” people in masks come and demand from the groom to show how much he deserves such a beautiful bride - the game “How well I know her.” The groom answers questions, then his answers are compared with the answers of the young wife. After the bride returns to the holiday, the entertainment part begins with dancing, music and competitions. The holiday ends with eating a huge wedding cake, decorated with sugar guns, cards, roses, money and similar paraphernalia.

Cloth

Very important role plays for the overall design of clothing, both the newlyweds themselves and the wedding guests.

bride's outfit

Here you have to choose classic white color, however, in most cases complemented by black decor.

It is hardly possible to find a real wedding dress of that time, but you should remember that the outfit should look unusual and very expensive.

Here are a few options from which you can choose a dress to your taste.

Silk short

The tight silhouette and open shoulders are the basis. Most of it is white silk. On the bodice and hem there are asymmetrical inserts of black mesh lace. The same mesh can be used for gloves. The straps are very thin. Instead of a veil - a small pillbox hat, decorated with a small veil.

Long embroidered

This dress must have a train and long sleeves. Almost completely it fits the figure, and begins to expand only from the middle of the thigh or even lower. The entire upper part up to the neckline, including the sleeves, consists of fine lace. The hem with a train is also trimmed with it. Instead of a veil or veil, you can decorate your hair with feathers or a thin wicker hat.

Lush

Length - to the middle of the leg. Top part dress fits like a corset. There is definitely a deep neckline. The hem is decorated with lace. It is also used as the main decor of the dress. The main highlight of this outfit is to use different textures- silk, convex lace, cambric, gas inserts and so on. To this side white color you can pick up red shoes, gloves, a bouquet and a belt. Also, a white hat can be decorated with red elements, for example, feathers.

groom's outfit

For the image of the groom fit classic thin suit white stripe . You can beat him by wearing a hat of the same color and pattern, a black shirt, a white tie and boots. If there is a contrast (red color) in the image of the bride, then it must also be taken into account. For example, a red ribbon on a hat, a scarf, even socks of this color. Complete the image patent leather shoes, ideally - boots, a watch on a chain, a pistol (dummy) and a cigar.

What should guests wear?

Photos from the wedding in the style of gangsters Chicago 20s - 30s: clothes for guests

For men, it is enough to complement the suit with a hat - that's the classic gangster. And the ladies are a little more difficult. You can use dresses with deep neckline, silhouette - fitted, thin, flowing fabrics. Black fabric in white polka dots – the best option, especially if you add it with red elements. But, in fact, almost any dress can be turned into a themed one by decorating it with feathers, boas, fringed scarves and other similar elements.

Congratulations

Here are a few congratulations that may sound at such a themed wedding.
