Getting ready at The Homestead | Captured by Honeylens Imaging
Your wedding day is around the corner and what better way to prep than by indulging in some of the best rom com movies? Whether you’re seeking inspiration for your own day, a few laughs to ease the pre-wedding jitters, or simply a heartwarming love story to get you in the wedding mood, there’s a perfect film for every couple. From hilarious mishaps to romantic moments, these movies will not only entertain but help you embrace every magical and chaotic moment leading up to your big day. So, sit back, relax, and let’s dive into the must-watch bridal films that’ll make your countdown to ‘I do’ even more memorable.
Ahhh Bridesmaids — the ultimate chaotic, hilarious, and secretly heartfelt pre-wedding watch. It’s the kind of movie that has you crying from laughter one minute and getting misty-eyed the next, which honestly makes it the perfect background (or foreground) entertainment while you’re knee-deep in wedding prep.
Pair it with your favorite pre-wedding lounge set — we’re currently obsessed with Gold Clover Vintage. They give off that effortless, vintage bridal look. Think: elevated loungewear that makes you feel like the main character, even while you’re doing something as mindless as stamping 150 RSVP cards or tying tiny ribbons on party favors.
The best part? Bridesmaids doesn’t require your full attention — you can quote half the lines anyway — but it still brings the energy. It’s chaotic in the best way, just like wedding planning. So throw it on, pour a glass of something bubbly (or relax with a non-alc bev from a favorite like Rare Brew Tea or Kin Euphorics), and let the vibes carry you through the to-do list.
Crazy Rich Asians is the ultimate wedding-planning companion movie — it’s visually stunning, unapologetically extra, and packed with swoon-worthy romance, drama, and just enough chaos to make your own wedding to-do list feel a little more manageable. Plus, that wedding scene? Literal goals. It’s hard not to get swept up in the love, luxe, and Lana Del Rey covers.
It’s the kind of film that’s perfect to have playing while you’re tackling wedding tasks that don’t need your full brain power but still need to get done. Consider prepping your getting ready playlist for wedding day! Get inspired with our YouTube playlist.
Mamma Mia! is pure sunshine in movie form — a dreamy, musical escape to a Greek island where love, laughter, and a little chaos rule the day. It’s the perfect watch when you want to infuse your wedding planning with joy, a touch of nostalgia, and just the right amount of sequins. Between the infectious ABBA soundtrack and those sweeping coastal views, it’s basically a visual mood board for the carefree, wildly romantic wedding of your dreams.

This one’s best paired with an at-home his + hers signature cocktail tasting — something fun, citrusy, and Mediterranean-inspired. Think Aperol spritzes, limoncello margaritas, or even a playful take on a Greek mojito. Set the scene with a little candlelight or fairy lights, a breezy Spotify playlist for in between scenes, and a notebook to jot down your favorite concoctions (and what you might call them on the bar menu).
For your bar menu names, you could play around with something like:
- “Golden Hour Spritz” for the Aperol Spritz
- “Limoncello Bliss” for the margarita
- “Aegean Breeze” for the mojito
As the movie dances through its feel-good chaos, it is inevitable to not get caught up into the dreamy-ness of Greece. Whether your wedding has just begun it is never too late to consider honeymoon destinations. Mamma Mia! is the perfect dose of inspiration to remind you that at the end of the day, it’s all about love, music, and a good time.

10 Things I Hate About You is the ultimate throwback — sharp, witty, a little rebellious, and unexpectedly romantic in all the right ways. It’s the kind of movie that takes you straight back to late ’90s nostalgia but still hits just as hard today (hello, Heath Ledger serenading on the bleachers? Instant classic). It’s perfect for channeling that cool, effortlessly chic energy as you dive into wedding planning with a little edge and a lot of heart. Represent your niche interest with unique decor from Nerdy Fox Rentals.
Best paired with a moodboard-making night — pour a glass of wine, sprawl out with your laptop (or go old-school with scissors and a stack of magazines), and start building out your dream day with a little more edge. Think unconventional dresses, offbeat venues, moody florals, or even a vintage car getaway. Let Kat Stratford energy guide you: do it your way, unapologetically. Get inspired by our Pinterest pages!
Let the film inspire your less traditional side — maybe it’s a leather jacket over your wedding dress, a non-white ceremony outfit, or a reception playlist that leans more punk-pop than string quartet. 10 Things reminds us that the best love stories are the ones that feel real, a little messy, and completely unapologetic. And honestly? That energy belongs in every wedding.
The Wedding Singer is a total love letter to the ’80s — it’s quirky, sweet, a little ridiculous, and packed with heart (plus, let’s be real, the fashion alone is worth the watch). Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore have that effortlessly adorable chemistry, and the movie hits that perfect mix of humor and heartfelt that makes it a comfort watch during the wedding planning chaos.
Best paired with a DIY décor night — turn on the movie, break out the crafting supplies, and start tackling those fun, personal wedding details. Maybe you’re assembling your escort cards, creating custom signage, designing table numbers, or crafting that epic welcome table moment. Add a little throwback playlist in the background when the movie ends to keep the vibe going strong. Check out The Lettering Grove for all your custom signage needs!
Let the film inspire your more playful, nostalgic side — maybe you’ll incorporate a few vintage touches into your wedding look, add a retro telephone booth from Nerdy Fox Rentals or even a Lambeth cake from Top Tier Cakes. Wanna create the perfect playlist? Check out DG Visionaries.
Pride and Prejudice is the OG romance — a timeless tale of miscommunication, misunderstandings, and of course, that slow-burn chemistry that makes your heart ache (in the best possible way). With its sharp wit, lush English countryside setting, and characters that feel like old friends, this film is a love letter to both the 19th century and to love itself. Watching Elizabeth and Darcy circle each other, each too proud and too prejudiced for their own good, is the kind of romance that never goes out of style.
Best paired with a cozy night in — light a candle, throw on a sweater, and settle in for a rewatch. You’ll want to savor every moment, from Darcy’s brooding glares to Elizabeth’s clever one-liners. Maybe you’re planning your own wedding or just reflecting on love in general — either way, let the film serve as a reminder that true love is built on respect, understanding, and a bit of banter.
Let the movie spark your inner romantic — maybe you’ll incorporate a little Regency flair into your wedding style, add a few classic touches to your décor, or slip a quote from the book into your vows. Check out Evolution Ballroom for wedding dance lessons!
27 Dresses is the ultimate wedding movie for anyone who’s ever had to be a bridesmaid, dreamed of their own fairy-tale wedding, or found themselves tangled in love’s messy web. It’s a delightful mix of humor, heart, and plenty of swoon-worthy moments that make you believe in the magic of love — even when it feels like you’re stuck in a whirlwind of tulle and satin. Whether you’re planning your big day or simply daydreaming about it, this film serves up a sweet blend of romance and chaos to fuel your wedding inspiration.
For the perfect movie pairing, Grab a bottle of sparkling rosé, a fruity sangria, or even a peach Bellini, and get ready to toast to the wedding journey ahead. If you’re hosting a movie night, set the mood with soft candlelight or twinkling string lights, and let a playlist of love songs from 27 Dresses (think “Breathe” by Anna Nalick and “I’ll Be” by Edwin McCain) play softly in the background. Maybe even grab a few sweet snacks, like mini cupcakes or chocolate-covered strawberries, to make it feel extra special.
27 Dresses will inspire you to embrace the joy of the journey, the surprises along the way, and the fact that no matter what, love is always worth celebrating. We love Bella Belle for the most stunning bridal/bridesmaids shoes.
