a bowl of popcorn (and wine) while watching a movie?
Get your onesies out as we are about to list the top 10
wedding movies that you should watch with your
bridesmaids before your wedding day!
27 dresses
Imagine being a bridesmaid 27 times? Well that is
the case for Katherine Heigl s character Jane, in this
hilariously girly rom-com where she ends up planning her
younger sister s wedding. It just so happens that her
sister,
Tess, is marrying Jane s prince charming!

Childhood best friends (played by Anne Hathaway and
Kate Hudson) have been planning their weddings since
they were young, but what happens when they both choose
the same venue and accidentally, the same date? WAR!
Guaranteed to give you a six pack from laughing!
Bridesmaids
Dubbed as the female version of the hangover, it is a
movie that will have tears streaming down your face
from laughing! Annie (Kristen Wiig), is going through a
tough
time in her life when she finds out her lifelong BFF Lillian
(Maya Rudolph) is getting married. Although she is the maid
of honour, she is constantly competing with, and comparing
herself to perfect Helen (Rose Byrne), one of the
bridesmaids
and Lillian s new best friend. Need I mention that the
hilarious Melissa McCarthy is also a bridesmaid? A brilliant
movie, perfect for a girly night in.
The Wedding Planner
An ambitious and hard-working wedding planner Mary,
played by the stunning Jennifer Lopez, finds herself in a
bit of a predicament when she falls in love with one of her
client s husband s! (eye candy, Matthew McConaughey) Will
Mary be able to keep her feelings to herself or will she
finally
get to be the bride?

editor in chief of a book publishing company. After
violating terms of her work visa, she faces being deported
to
her native Canada. She blackmails her assistant, Andrew
Paxton (Ryan Reynolds) into acting as her fiance to keep
her
from being deported. Initially planning on resuming to their
lives after Tate s visa issues are resolved, their
relationship
blossoms and not all goes according to plan. With plenty of
unexpected twists, this movie is a must see!
Mamma Mia
If you are planning a destination wedding, you will
get plenty of inspiration from this movie! Set in the
picturesque Greek island of Kalokairi, Meryl Streep heads
the
cast, playing the role of single mother Donna Sheridan.
Bride-to-be Sophie Sheridan secretly invites three men from
her mother s past in hope of meeting her real father and
having him escort her down the aisle on her big day. A
musical
romantic comedy film adapted from the 1999 West End
musical of the same name, based on the songs of successful
pop group ABBA. A personal favourite with an unexpected
ending. This movie will have you all singing and dancing for
the rest of the night.
Father of the bride
A heart-warming family comedy starring Steve Martin
who plays the overprotective father George Banks. He
struggles to come to terms with the fact that his daughter
is
getting married and finds himself in the midst of wedding
planning. A classic film with some laugh-out-loud moments.
Wedding Crashers
Jeremy (Vince Vaughn) and John (Owen Wilson) are
divorce mediators who spend their free time crashing
wedding receptions. The hilarious duo manage to charm
vulnerable women and crash numerous weddings until they
find themselves in a bit of trouble! This movie had me in
tears
and it has plenty of unexpected twists. An original
storyline
and a must-see!
My Best Friend s
wedding
Starring Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz, it is the
perfect girly rom-com. Childhood friends Julianne and
Michael made a promise to marry each other if they were both
still single at aged 28, but four days before Julianne s
(Julia
Roberts) 28th birthday, Michael (Dermot Mulroney) announces
his engagement. Realising she is in love with him, she plans
to
stop the wedding at all costs, but being maid of honour
might
make this plan a lot more difficult than she originally
thought!
An entertaining movie that will have you in stitches.
What happens in Vegas
Last, but certainly not least, a comedy starring
Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher. Two strangers
find themselves accidentally getting hitched in Las Vegas!
Their
personalities clash completely but an unexpected issue
forces
them to stay together. An entertaining and funny movie from
beginning to end.
