Gone with the wind bridal shower decoration ideas?

Question

I am throwing a bridal shower with a gone with the wind theme. I had some ideas for decorations using gone with the wind posters, pictures, etc but I am clueless on food and other decoration ideas. What types of food should be served to keep with the theme? Do you have any other decoration ideas that aren't too steep for the budget?

Answer 1

hmmmmmmm........at the end of the movie he walks out on Scarlett.  Not sure if that's such a good omen for a bridal shower.

Answer 2

some dirty carrots on tables. remember scarlett digging them 0uta the garden and trying to eat them? lay some potatoes around also. hang some big hoop skirts around the house on some old curtain rods or better yet make everyone attending wear one.. check out thrift stores for the dresses.  check out the websites below for some great ideas...

Answer 3

Ham busquits, cheese straws, mint julips, Mimosas, any southern food.

Answer 4

Well think good ole southern hospitality....

Find some food ideas that are really southern sounding...if your going for finger foods, I can't think of any right now, but if your going with meal foods, then why not fried chicken..and buffets are large in the south, most parties are pot luck so there set up for everyone to serve themselves..make sure you serve sweet tea or mint juleps.  Famous southern deserts are red velvet cake and pecan pie.  Mississippi Mud Pie is good too.

as for decorations....make sure you get magnolia blossoms and some fake spanish moss would be nice (remember never use real spanish moss ***chiggers***)

if it is possible, how about having the movie playing in the background.....if outside, play horseshoes.....if time, card games were big in the old south, like rummy or bridge.
