Pop culture and weddings have always had a history together. Whether you’re dreaming of a fairytale moment or drawing inspo from your favorite binge-worthy series, the way pop culture shapes our “I do” moments is undeniable. That’s exactly what wedding pros Meghan Ely and Kevin Dennis unpack in their recent deep dive on the Bridechilla Podcast.
From Princess Diana’s iconic train to the extravagance of Crazy Rich Asians, they explore how on-screen weddings and celebrity celebrations continue to inspire engaged couples today.
What We Covered
In the episode, our very own Kevin Dennis and his “big” sister Meghan Ely discuss:
- Why certain movie or TV weddings become cultural touchstones
- How couples can tastefully infuse pop culture references into their big day
- Examples of trends that started on screen but made their way to real weddings (hint: Bridgerton vibes are still trending!)
- Their favorite movie wedding moments — and a few cringeworthy ones, too
Planning a wedding that either subtly nods to your shared fandom or going all in by opting for Harry Potter vibes with floating candles and house tables are both great options; it’s all about finding balance and making your wedding feel personal.
Why Pop Culture Matters
Pop culture isn’t just fun — it influences everything around us and serves as inspiration that both you and your guests can connect with. Royal weddings, cult-classic comedies, and cultural moments shape how we see style and elevated experiences when it comes to weddings. Don’t be afraid to lean into your favorite details and incorporate them.
Some examples:
- Want to walk down the aisle to your favorite TV theme? Do it.
- Thinking of themed signature drinks or movie-inspired playlists? Go for it.
- Wondering how to include a subtle nod to your favorite show without it taking over the vibe? Meghan and Kevin have thoughts.
Most importantly, they remind listeners that authenticity always wins. Trends come and go, but your love story is what really shines through. If you’re planning a wedding filled with quirky pop culture Easter eggs or just love a good celebrity wedding breakdown, this episode is for you.
