Since I've had wedding on the brain every single day since I started this blog in July, I can't help but want to have a wedding themed costume. No, not the obvious white dress and veil combo, I'm talking about some creative movie character shiz. I'll reveal the costume I chose at the end of the list. Here are my wedding costume suggestions:
1. Princess Vespa, from Spaceballs
What you need: 80's ballgown wedding dress with poofy sleeves, leia buns with white lace covering them, and a long veil. And if you're really lucky, you could get someone to dress as Prince Lonestar, Yogurt, Lord Helmet, Pizza the Hut, Dot or my personal favorite, Barf.

2. The Runaway Bride
From the movie, yes. Just wear a used wedding gown and tennis shoes. (Ok that one's not too crazy creative but whatever. It's easy)

3. The Bride with the Neon Beating Heart from Haunted Mansion Ride at Disneyland
Man that was a mouthful (that's what she said). But kinda clever, no? The costume idea, not my foul humor.
What you need: Old-timey white dress, neon glow sticks to put under the dress by your heart. A veil and ghoulish make-up

4. Carrie Bradshaw (Scary Carrie)
A different sort of take on the iconic bridal look from Sex and the City.
What you need: A big ass teal feather on your enormous updo, super pale face make-up, and a poofy wedding dress with triple-sized, 80s houndog boob cups.

5. Trashy Reno Newlyweds
Mike and I did this one year. Total blast. I wore a white 80s fringe ensemble with a trashy pearl and tulle headpiece. Mike wore a woman's blazer and a cowboy hat. Beer bong: NOT optional.

That's us...
6. Corpse Bride
What you need: Blue/Black wig, Gothic style wedding dress, pale make-up. I have a feeling this one will be popular this year...

7. The Bride from Kill Bill
What you need: The classic yellow motorcycle suit and Samurai sword. OR go for the white dress and pregnancy belly from the wedding rehearsal scene. And if you're feeling extra morbid, you can be the bride, POST getting shot in the head by Bill.

8. Madonna, Like a Virgin
What you need: Super 80s lace tattered lingerie bustier wedding gown. White fingerless gloves, black boots, a messy veil, 80s bangle jewelry, and Boy Toy Belt buckle.

9. Gwen Stefani
What you need: Buy a used wedding gown and dye half of it pink and wear a platinum blond wig.

And for the 10th and final Idea, I present to you MY WEDDING THEMED COSTUME!
10. Lydia Deetz, from Beetlejuice
I had been racking my brain for hours trying to come up with something fun. Can you tell I take Halloween seriously? I got my costume the other day and am STOKED. Since I'm not wearing a big dress and a veil for my actual wedding, this will be fun.
What you need: Red lace, tulle dress, red veil, red flower bouquet, black wig, and pale make-up.

Any more ideas to add to the list? What are you dressing up as for Halloween, wedding related or not?

Bridezilla (I'm confirlcted, but it's bride related) and Redneck bride and groom (my friends did that one last year) immediately came to mind.
