Most 1940s weddings were un-fussy, simple, and\nfilled with homemade treats. Longing to bask in the romance of a bygone era on\nyour wedding day? How about planning a 1940s World War II-themed wedding?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>The War<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re\nsure you learnt about the Second World War in school and are more than familiar\nwith what it was. However, let us indulge in a little bit of a history lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.theweddingsecret.co.uk\/magazine\/planning\/World-War-Two-Wedding\/cristian-newman-510251-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite\nWorld War I being dubbed \u201cThe War to End All Wars\u201d, Germany invaded Poland on 1<sup>st<\/sup>\nSeptember 1939. Because of a network of treaties in place, France and the\nUnited Kingdom then declared war on Germany. Over six long years, all but eleven\ncountries joined the global war of the Axis vs Allies. While many countries had\nindeed been neutral at the start of the war, Japan\u2019s attack on Pearl Harbour\nsaw a swift change and everyone from the United States to the countries of\nSouth America joined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.theweddingsecret.co.uk\/magazine\/planning\/World-War-Two-Wedding\/paul-jespers-114448-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>World War\nII, and the 1930s and 1940s, were known as a time of austerity amongst the\nBritish public. Despite this, we can&#8217;t overlook the artistic and cultural\ncontributions that were made during this era. And, of course, countless couples\nfell in love and wed with a greater urgency than before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>1940s Wedding Dresses<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As you\nwould expect, wartime wedding dresses were a lot more conservative than the elaborate\ngowns of the 30s. Importantly, fabric was rationed, and very few people had any\nmoney to spare anyway. Many brides even tended to borrow gowns from friends or\nfamily to save them spending money on a new one. Furthermore, they might wear a\nsuit or something already in their wardrobe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.theweddingsecret.co.uk\/magazine\/planning\/World-War-Two-Wedding\/eric-ward-284676-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Most 1940s\ngowns were lightly fitted and made from rayon, satin, or silk. It was rare for\na dress to include much lace, and was thus plainer than dresses of other times.\nHowever, women did spend money on long sleeves, which added to the conservative\nappearance of dresses from this era. 1940s skirts were also simple in shape and\noften very straight in order to save on fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could find a modern wedding dress in a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"classic 1930s (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theweddingsecret.co.uk\/magazine\/iconic-wedding-dresses-of-the-30s\/\" target=\"_blank\">classic 1930s<\/a>\u2019 and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"1940s\u2019 (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theweddingsecret.co.uk\/magazine\/iconic-wedding-dresses-of-the-40s\/\" target=\"_blank\">1940s\u2019<\/a> shape to emulate the look. Or, you can browse on sites like Etsy, where vintage gowns from the 1930s and 1940s are sold. Plus, they can be cheaper than buying a completely new dress altogether. However, many genuine dresses from this time would not have been properly preserved, so be aware of moth holes! Buy your dress with plenty of notice from a reputable supplier if you choose to buy a vintage one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.theweddingsecret.co.uk\/magazine\/planning\/World-War-Two-Wedding\/World-War-Two-Weddings-Image-2.jpg\" alt=\"World-War-Two-Wedding \"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Accessorise\nyour dress with elegant pearls and diamante brooches. This is a great choice\nfor those who want something truly authentic. Furthermore, jewellery from this\nperiod is likely to be better kept than fabric; and you can incorporate your \u201csomething\nblue\u201d!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>1940s Wedding Flowers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There was no such thing as importing flowers during the 1940s, so all flowers were local. Furthermore, decorating your venue with blooms didn\u2019t become popular until after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theweddingsecret.co.uk\/magazine\/a-look-back-at-the-queens-wedding-dress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Princess Elizabeth\u2019s wedding to Philip (opens in a new tab)\">Princess Elizabeth\u2019s wedding to Philip<\/a> in 1947. As such, if you want to emulate the style of a World War Two wedding, use local flowers. Work with a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"florist  (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theweddingsecret.co.uk\/wedding-flowers\" target=\"_blank\">florist <\/a>to see where they obtain their flowers from. Vintage wedding bouquets were often created from carnations, chrysanthemums, and lilies, all of which were easy for brides to obtain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.theweddingsecret.co.uk\/magazine\/planning\/World-War-Two-Wedding\/World-War-Two-Weddings-Image-1.jpg\" alt=\"World-War-Two-Weddings\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Bouquets were often quite dainty, and simply decorated with ribbon. This can be easily recreated and will give your wedding flowers an intimate, delicate, wildflower look. You can even go one step further and create bouquets from locally sourced flowers and herbs. On the other hand, take a note from the wedding of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alexandra-anne.co.uk\/wedding-dress-blog\/chatsworth-brides-debo-mitford\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Deborah Mitford (opens in a new tab)\">Deborah Mitford<\/a> and choose a cascading bouquet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Wartime Cakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Rationing\nfor butter and sugar came into effect in Britain in January 1940. This was\nfollowed by a lot of other ingredients, and continued for the rest of the war,\nand more. In fact, sugar rationing only stopped in September 1953, and all\nrationing came to an end the following year. As such, ingredients for wedding\ncakes were often hard to come by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.theweddingsecret.co.uk\/magazine\/planning\/World-War-Two-Wedding\/world-war-ii-wedding-image-2.jpg\" alt=\"world war II themed wedding\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Women would search high and low to find recipes for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theweddingsecret.co.uk\/magazine\/vegan-wedding-cake-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"butter-free cakes (opens in a new tab)\">butter-free cakes<\/a> that featured nutmeg and cinnamon for flavouring. The homemade cakes were also minimally decorated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even\nthough butter, eggs and milk are now widely available and easy to get hold of,\nyou can still create a delicious wedding cake in a 1940s style; perhaps you can\nadd patriotic decorations or choose a naked Victoria sponge cake for easy\nelegance with that rustic homemade look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Wartime Wedding Reception<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re planning a 1940s wartime wedding reception, music from Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, Glenn Miller, and The Andrews Sisters, Louis Armstrong and Frank Sinatra should help set the scene. Conversely, you could even hire a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theweddingsecret.co.uk\/magazine\/step-step-wedding-music-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Big Band (opens in a new tab)\">Big Band<\/a> to perform their hits live and really get the dance floor heaving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.theweddingsecret.co.uk\/magazine\/planning\/World-War-Two-Wedding\/nathan-wright-669642-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For all\nthe doom and gloom of the time, people loved a chance to celebrate some good\nnews. Bring that carefree feeling to your own wedding reception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For your wedding breakfast you could go dainty and have champagne afternoon tea with macarons, cakes and finger sandwiches. On the other hand, if you want something more warming, hearty and formal, serve meat pies, or a roast, using seasonal local produce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.theweddingsecret.co.uk\/magazine\/planning\/World-War-Two-Wedding\/world-war-ii-wedding-image-1.jpg\" alt=\"world war II themed wedding\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of rationing during the 1940s, meals weren\u2019t always too appetising. Therefore, using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theweddingsecret.co.uk\/magazine\/eco-wedding-ideas-reduce-your-weddings-carbon-footprint\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"fresh, locally farmed produce (opens in a new tab)\">fresh, locally farmed produce<\/a> is our suggestion for getting a delicious meal that is also authentic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for\ndecoration, lay on the side of celebratory rather than macabre. You could\ndecorate your reception venue with patriotic red, white and blue, and hang wartime\nposters on the walls. If you want something more authentic rather than clich\u00e9,\nshowcase vintage glamour with vintage crockery, silverware and a champagne\ntower! Plus, you could decorate the venue with vintage silk scarves as these\nwere statement ornate pieces during this era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.theweddingsecret.co.uk\/magazine\/planning\/World-War-Two-Wedding\/james-giddins-255271-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>We hope\nyou\u2019ve picked up enough tips to be able to host a truly wonderful World War Two\nthemed wedding.
