So you love The Hunger Games and you happen to be getting hitched? Well wonderful timing because now you can have your very own Hunger Games wedding theme. Because nothing says romance like children fighting to the death. So here's your how-to list to make your special day something Panem will never forget:
1. The cake. Your Hunger Games cake doesn't need to have a big mockingjay or crazy decorative icing (sorry Peeta) because that is more child birthday party than wedding. Instead, opt for berries, to remind you and your love of your twisted suicide pact. Also, berries are delicious. Don't let Foxface near it though.
2. The arrangements. Fresh flowers and woodsy items will remind you of hunting in the woods to prevent your family from starving to death. Awww... Romance!
3. The food. Obviously it needs to have a mix of food that could be found foraging in the woods of District 12 (duck, wild rice, fruit and nuts) and things that convey Capitol indulgence (curries, desserts, and hot chocolate). However most importantly, BREAD. Tons of bread. Get some bread pudding too.
4. The bouquet. Again wild flowers are best since you're a wild soul. Remember though, NO ROSES! Those are only for murderous dictators.
5. The dress. Has to be a mix of simple and grounded and extravagant. Simple up top (strapless) and dramatic down below (lots of fabric and a long train) is probably best, but of course, your stylists will know best. At least the ones with gold eyeliner.
6. Hair and makeup. Keep your make up natural and fresh because your hair is going to steal the show and you don't want to wind up looking like Effie. If your skin tone is olive, golds are nice. For your hair, a braid is mandatory here. However, whether you want to do a long side braid like the arena or an updo braid like the reaping is up to you. Which says romance more? Sacrificing yourself to save your sister or killing people to save yourself? Sorry, both is not acceptable!
7. The wedding party. Your maid of honor should be your sister (or if you don't have one, any small girl you can get to stand next to you). Also, make sure that your best friend who you may or may not still be in love with should be one of the groomsmen (just in case you decide on a last minute switcheroo).
That's about all you need to pull off the perfect Hunger Games wedding! Good luck and congratulations! May the odds be ever in your favor!
