Corporate in the style of Moulin Rouge what to wear. Burlesque Party (Moulin Rouge, Gatsby)

Making a playlist for a Moulin Rouge party is easy. After all, the main idea of the holiday is a grand scale musical. This means that all the soundtracks from the movie are simply bound to be an amazing backdrop for your party. Well, and a couple more compositions that will harmoniously (in my opinion) fit into the atmosphere of your holiday, I will now name.

GATSBY PARTY MUSIC

For starters - about the soundtracks from the film. To make your search easier and not force you to watch the musical again, let's name the most resonant, well-known romantic ballads:

The songs from the musical are good, but they are absolutely not suitable if you have included "dance impromptu" in your holiday script. For dancing, it is better to take similar in spirit, but more rhythmic musical material. For example, the compositions of Christina Aguilera, Madonna, Bianchi, Liza Minelli ("Money-Money"). And also, be sure to add the elegant, piquantly playful, incendiary, truly French music of Offenbach (the glorious "Cancan" belongs to his musical genius). And a few more abstract from the musical, but typical for a stylized party, compositions:

To these melodies it is best to dance incendiary latin, burn in the Argentine tango, beat the Balkan tribal, and demonstrate multifaceted acting skills, performing modern jazz, burlesque and sexy RnB.

And yet, you can use these rhythms as a background for a game entertainment program. By the way, do you want some ideas on how to organize it in the Moulin Rouge style?

ENTERTAINMENT

Game 1. "Speed matters"	Fun and games for this enchanting musical, truly French evening should be selected depending on the age, composition and "degree of debauchery" of your guests. If you are arranging a holiday for people without complexes and prejudices, and moreover - of the same age, social status and range of interests, entertainment of this type is suitable: Props: 2 corsets with lacing, vintage style, timer. Number of participants: at least two couples (2 girls + 2 guys). The essence of the game: Temporarily unlace the corset worn by the girl. What it won't do a real man in a fit of passion? Even a corset is not a barrier to the desired fruit! However, if there are really a lot of "craftsmen" among you, for whom even an old corset, tightened with a whalebone on the shoulder, can complicate the task a little. For example, you can ask the participants in the game to unlace the corset while blindfolded or just kissing the girl wearing it.
Game 2. "Male cancan"	The old French dance, even in our jaded age of dominant and overt sexuality, still excites the hearts of many men! An elegant leg, a miniature garter, a radiant smile makes the blood run through the veins faster! But if the leg is far from miniature, and not elegant? Even more than that, rough and with increased vegetation? Will there be the same effect? Certainly! True, if there are those who wish to participate in the next fun! Props: skirts and hats of cabaret dancers of large sizes, music for the cancan. Number of participants: all interested males. Essence: Women are members of the jury. The men are dancing the cancan. The most "French dancer", who will cause a storm of emotions and applause - is awarded with kisses from all members of the jury and a medal (can be paper) of the winner.
Game 3. "2 minutes of temptation"	Props: large boxes (or wardrobes that are in the house). Number of participants: minimum 6 people (3 guys + 3 girls). Rules: Guys hide in closets, or in large boxes of household appliances. Girls, on the other hand, choose the wardrobe that they like best, without knowing who hid behind the door. At the command of the host: “Timer!”, The girls must enter the closet (or climb into the box) and kiss the guy who hid there. On command: “Time is up!”, the couples come out of their hiding places. The realization of who you just shared a narrow space with and a kiss can cause a storm of emotions both among the participants of the game themselves and hooting from the audience of the hall (and this is very useful at a Moulin Rouge-style party).
Game 4. "In the dark"	Another game that goes on "Hurrah!" in the atmosphere of permissiveness of the Moulin Rouge, among the guests warmed up by absinthe. Props: eye patches. Number of participants: all comers. Rules: All participants (both boys and girls) put on blindfolds. And dim the lights in the room. On the command "begin", the participants begin to walk around the room. The essence of the game is that, without seeing, and bumping into each other, guys and girls must kiss. True, there is a clause in the conditions of the competition: before you kiss the "obstacle" on the way, you can touch your hair (to make sure that you are a representative of the opposite sex).

Game 5. "Card Kiss"	Props: playing card (ace of hearts). Number of participants: an equal number of men and women. Rules: All men and women stand in a circle. Their task is to convey playing card word of mouth. But! The card must not be held with the teeth, but held by drawing in air. That is, the first participant inhales - holds the card, the second - takes the card, also drawing in air, and passes it next person. The one who could not hold the card with the power of breath kisses the next one in the circle and leaves the game.
Game 6	Props: Number of participants: at least two couples (boy + girl). Rules: Girls with garters on their legs sit on chairs. Guys - kneel in front of them. At the command of the host “Start!”, The guys begin to remove the garters from the legs of the girls with their teeth (without the help of hands). Girls, in turn, have no right to help. The winner is the one who first cope with such a difficult task. If an older age, increased shyness, or not close enough company makes it more restrained to hold a party at the Moulin Rouge, you can offer guests more "intelligent" entertainment.
	Have you noticed that an integral part of the cabaret dancer's outfit is a miniature hat - a top hat? Invite your guests to quickly decorate such a hat to their liking and discretion. Props: paper blank - black cylinder, flowers, rhinestones, glue, colored paper, scissors, ribbons, buttons. Essence: All participants are divided into two teams. Each team has the same set of tools at hand. The task is to quickly assemble an elegant hat in the style of Moulin Rouge. The winner is determined by voting by the audience (those of the guests who did not wish to participate in the competition).
	Props: a screen, a bright lamp, a hat, leaves with tasks. Rules: Participants take a leaf with a task from a hat and go behind the screen. Their task is to show what is written, using only their body, hands, ingenuity. You can show excerpts on a love theme, you can play your favorite children's fairy tale, you can show animals and birds. Spectators in the hall see only shadows and reflections. That team of participants, by the actions of which the audience will quickly determine what is at stake, wins. This game has several variations, each of which is interesting in its own way. Variation 1. All the girls go behind the screen, while the guys remain in the hall. The task of the guys is to find out by the shadow which of the girls is dancing behind the screen. Variation 2. Prepare music and narration for each story indicated on the leaves in the hat. Let the team of participants show what the narrator will talk about, and let their actions be accompanied by light, recognizable, characteristic music.

For various romantic games, we forgot that the popularity of the French cabaret was brought, after all, by the famous musical. Therefore, be sure to organize at least one music competition. You can, for example, play "guess the tune" from the movie, or you can conduct a casting for the best performer of the role of Celine and her songs.

Number of participants: everyone (girls).

This competition, in principle, echoes the previous one. It differs only in a wider range of participants involved. The bottom line: take a song from the film, and come up with a story for it, play its plot in roles, show emotions, passion, feelings!

When a man kisses a lady's hand, she is thrilled with delight, and everyone around sighs: "Oh, what a gallant gentleman!" Therefore, the game, according to the rules of which you need to kiss the ladies' hands, is very intelligent.

Rules: Participants (man and woman) stand opposite each other. The task of a man is to kiss each finger of a lady in a different way. The task of a woman is to respond with a passionate monologue in love to every kiss.

December 16, 2015

If you want to make the holiday truly stylish and extravagant, there is one win-win option - Burlesque Party.

Genre: musical, vaudeville, Moulin Rouge - today it is called differently. The style of the mentioned burlesque is said to be not sublime-low, but "low-sublime", where monologues, dialogues, songs and dances are erotic overtones. In order not to get confused and not to form a picture of vulgarity and vulgarity in my head, let's go in order ...

20-30s - the era of burlesque. Bright show performances burst into the life of the USA and Paris, the conversation about which caused a blush among noble ladies and an embarrassed smile from gentlemen. Rumors about frank dances, daring songs and a sea of entertainment in an atmosphere of sophistication and wealth did not just arouse irrepressible curiosity, but literally brought hundreds of connoisseurs of creative recreation burning with anticipation by the hand. At that time, the so-called criteria of revelation and propriety were scrupulously monitored. "Queens of Burlesque" Josephine Baker and Mae West, literally overgrown with gossip "beyond recognition", and the latter spent ten days in prison for the so-called obscene behavior in society.

By the way, in modern world, there is also the "queen of burlesque": the ex-wife of the controversial performer Marilyn Manson, Heather Rene Sweet. Many modern professional participants in this art are literally offended by the current stereotypes imposed by the owners of establishments with a dubious reputation. Calling themselves "burlesques" left and right, they offer the viewer a primitive program, mostly consisting of cheap striptease. It's good that there are sources from where you can get reliable information. And great movies, after all!

Already in the 40s, burlesque shows really spread from theaters to nightclubs, where they sometimes sounded like “cabaret shows”. Now the owner of the establishment decided where to “locate” the limits of decency and whether they are needed at all! hallmark cabaret at that time was considered the creation of high standards of skill for actors, dancers and all participants in the entertainment program. Improvisations, deviations from the worked out scenario were not allowed. Therefore, undertaking the organization of such a show, determine for yourself what years your Burlesque will look like!

When starting to organize a holiday, your task is to do everything sensibly, otherwise the glamor and magical theatrical atmosphere will turn into a poor parody of a cheap strip club. It is important to understand that for this you need to invest a lot of effort and money, so you won’t be able to save much on such a birthday.

In any case, the essential attributes and elements of the holiday are: wealth, luxury, glamour, chic, beauty, passion, lack of complexes, shamelessness, extravagance.

Graceful hints, subtle humor, puns, flirting - all this in the style of Burlesque!

1. When is Burlesque appropriate?

Such a party will help to effectively celebrate both a birthday, bachelor / bachelorette party, as well as New Year or even Halloween.

2. Time.

Invite guests to 20-21.00: this is an "all night" party, not for five hours. Moreover, the preparation of the appropriate image will take not so little time - one make-up is worth something!

3. Invitations.

If you try very hard, then the guests will feel the atmosphere of the upcoming party even before the action begins. Try to compose an incendiary invitation! Surely this will help friends create the right image and prepare an unusual speech in the style of creative intellectuals of the 30s. For example:

« Dear Ostrovskaya Diana!
Legendary show productions from the theatrical and entertainment cabaret "Burlesque" are at your service! The mysterious owner of the best ballet show in the world is fascinated by your beauty and invites you to the most outrageous opening of your city! Welcome to the world of passion and luxury!
We are waiting for you on December 30, 2015 at 21.00.
Luxurious appearance, disposition to the initiatives shown and this invitation are indispensable conditions for entering the celebration.
We look forward to seeing you.
With uv. Gatsby»

To create invitation cards with your own hands, you will need white, black, red cardboard, gold and red ribbons, feathers and pieces of lace. And there - combine and create unique original postcards! They don't have to be identical. There are no rules, they are named, and that's all that matters.
You can order similar flyers in the printing house.

4. Images and costumes.

Common to all and important. Images should be bright, stylish, attractive, sexy (but not vulgar).

Behavior: not screaming love for yourself and every element of the world around you, balancing eccentricity, emotionality and elegance, restraint.

Aestheticism: the ability to keep oneself, correct speech, intonation, beautiful gestures, posture, gait ...

Now more specifically.

Men. It's easier with men. There are only two options here: gentleman(then businessmen, politicians, intellectuals and all sorts of creative personalities had a similar appearance) and bandit. For the first, tuxedos, ties, bow ties, vests, a top hat, a cane are suitable.

For the second - black trousers, white T-shirts, suspenders, hats a la mafia, if possible - a holster with a weapon, of course, not real.
For those and others, such a simple attribute as a cigar is perfect.

Women. Given the fact that women were in such institutions for completely different reasons, you have a choice of the desired "role". Let's get to know each other better:

Spoiled daddy's daughter from a rich family. She, of course, secretly visits such establishments. She is dressed relatively restrained, although youth and hormones dictate a short dress and a long lady's cigarette. Nothing complicated: black, or gold in sequins, a short pencil dress, long beads with medium-sized pearls, a bracelet, stiletto sandals. If possible, a black bob or playful curls and a characteristic feather in the hair. The makeup is not overly bright (she ran away from home), her eyes can be hidden under a beautiful mask with feathers (she is afraid that someone will recognize her).

By the way, a black square and a fly over the lip will be appropriate for any look. And also curls, a veil, gloves above the elbow will fit perfectly!

courtesan girl. Be careful with this image. It suggests more obvious looseness, flirtatiousness, flirting. If overly jealous people are present at the celebration, hold your horses, do not miss this most important nuance! The costume is open and frank: a corset that draws in everything that is possible to a practically lifeless body, fishnet stockings, large bracelets, hairpins, bright makeup with mother of pearl, sparkles. In this image, appearance is 50%. The rest is high-quality acting and femininity!

dancer girl. A fairly revealing outfit will do: people do not come to see sculptures in a museum. But a little more modest than the previous image. Corset, flared skirt to the knee, stockings with suspenders, shoes with steady heels.

Girls, you should be graceful teasing but not provoking, flirting but not intrusive, sexy but not vulgar. Remember that burlesque actresses are not male-hating strippers, on the contrary, they are the absolute femininity! A man is an object for which they open the best sides female essence, demonstrates its own beauty and emphasizes the importance of the male contribution to the prosperity of this very beauty.

Before preparing the images, invite your friends to watch one or more films on the topic: Burlesque, Burlesque Lady, Blaze, Mademoiselle Striptease, Chicago Blues, The Great Gatsby ...

It's good if everyone carries the charm of the then conversations and behavior through the whole evening. Indeed, in burlesque, manners are important, a style of behavior that differs significantly from modern ones. And we want to create a real Burlesque?!

5. Greeting guests.

Warn those invited that entry is by invitation only and for a nominal fee (nervous picking at all pockets will spoil the actors' improvisation). The greeter can be like an elegant butler, who hides the “revelation” behind the door of a cabaret with her imposing appearance, or a courtesan in fishnet stockings, who now and then looks around the street to see if there are policemen there. Asks if there is an invitation. Look suspicious, absolute seriousness. Asks for a donation. Hides in a corset (bra), if it is a man - in a folder. He opens the door, where everything is already open (music, light, smoke), and without a shadow of a smile asks: “Do you like what you see?”. After a positive answer, the “butler” changes his face to the widest smile and beckons with delight: “Then welcome to the world of entertainment and passion!”

6. Venue.

You can arrange a similar “party” at home, especially if you have a studio apartment, but perfect place the venue will be a private nightclub hall. Be sure to have at least a small scene. This is important, without it it will not be possible to create a suitable atmosphere. How about the bright performances, incendiary cancan and sharp jokes from the artists?

7. Decoration of the festive hall.

Pay close attention to this part of the organization. A person who probably does not feel very comfortable in a revealing outfit before the party starts, should feel at ease as soon as he crosses the threshold of the festive hall!

Colors, which should be preferred: black, red, white. Also, gold and stripes will fit perfectly.

Decor elements: silk, leather, velvet, boa, lace. All this can become both elements of costumes and part of the interior, a characteristic decoration of the room.

The stage, ideally, should be in red colors. Luckily, many clubs are fans of the classics, because this attribute is not so hard to find. If you can, make the infamous windmill (as in Moulin Rouge). It can be made from foam or cardboard, brightly colored and covered with foil, covered with silk tape wire or chipboard (a more expensive option that requires skillful hands). You can make a windmill by laying out the silhouette with garlands on a dark background!

Cover most of the ceiling with black fabric, put yellow or white garlands on top of it, you get the effect of a starry sky. The fact is that the main lighting will be concentrated on the stage, and the viewer is in twilight. Therefore, additional, even the described lighting will be more relevant and effective than ever.

You can decorate your "starry sky" with photos of guests.
Puffs of smoke: stage and cigarette - everything is in place at a Burlesque party!
At the entrance it will be very handy to place an old mirror. This is possible. Although building foam and golden paint work wonders: here is an old frame for the most ordinary mirror! Nearby, not far from the entrance (there will be twilight), place several pinup posters (standards of female beauty of that time) and posters of famous actresses from films about burlesque shows.

It is desirable that there be more than one large festive table, and a few, for 2-4 people (according to the classics). On the tables - black and red tablecloths, the fabric can be inexpensive, in the dark it will not be evident at all! For each table - narrow vases, in which one red or white rose (can be artificial), and preferably several ostrich, peacock feathers. If the vases do not have a presentable appearance, decorate them with lace.
Burlesque suggests luxury and chic, because plastic cups and homemade vases are categorically not suitable.

Checkout photo corner. Stretch the fabric to match the entire party, organize a mini-curtain. Put the characteristic attributes: canes, boas, fans, masks, cigars ... In the background - a windmill, a heart, a cylinder of lights. Get great bright photos!

8. Music.

Hits from the previously mentioned films, as well as related music tracks by Christina Aguilera, Beyoncé, Madonna, Bianca, "Pussycat Dolls".

9. Dancing.

Organically fit: passionate Latina, Argentinean tango, Balkan tribal.

10. Menu.

Main dishes. You won't be able to save much. In really good cabarets, you could enjoy various delicacies, so sliced \u200b\u200band sprat sandwiches were not an option. You can choose the classic french cuisine(with cheese soup and meat in French), or you can not follow the strict classics. It is enough to choose “noble” products and think over win-win successful dishes: red fish steaks, stuffed mushrooms, baked poultry with fruits and honey, stewed veal with pineapple, red caviar on a dried French baguette ... Any seafood will be appropriate, especially exotic, but be careful with quality and freshness.

Dessert. Ideal chocolate mousse, sundae with syrups of your choice and pancakes stuffed with whipped cream and fruit. Order “themed cookies”, they can become the highlight of the festive table!
It is unlikely that you organize a beauty jumping out of a cake, but you must organize the cake itself! If you are already giving all the best, then order a really impressive burlesque cake.

Beverages. Definitely champagne. Don't skimp on champagne good quality, otherwise the guests will have to grimace all evening from excess acid or cloying. Also, martinis and various liquors are suitable for women.

Absinthe was considered the obligatory alcohol at such parties. But this is quite an expensive pleasure. In order not to lose an important element of recreating the desired picture, take the trouble to prepare mint vodka.

Here the simplest recipe:

Take a bunch of mint (40-50 grams), select beautiful fresh juicy leaves. Rinse them. Fill a glass jar tightly with mint (tamping it down with your hand), pour good quality vodka into it (otherwise “the spell will not work”), shake well and put in a dark place for 3-4 weeks, and in the classic version - for two months! As you can see, it is better to prepare in advance!

There is also a faster option:

For one liter of vodka, take 7-10 sprigs of mint and juice from one lemon / lime. Put the saucepan with the contents in the refrigerator for 3 days, covering it with a lid. When the vodka is infused, soaked with the aroma of mint and citrus, add one tablespoon of sugar and leave for another day in the refrigerator. Refreshing strong drink is ready!

For light drinkers, provide a green soft drink, Tarragon, for example.

The notorious Baileys, by the way, can also be cooked at home, but be sure not later than a day before the event!

11. Entertainment program.

To provide essential guarantees of a successful evening, book two or three professional themed numbers.
Invited guests can also prepare rooms if they wish. A song (even with a soundtrack), a dance, or a standup performance. The latter is highly desirable. High-quality acting humor from the stage is what you need! Let's not forget about good magicians.

Contests.

"Corset". There are two couples. Girls are put on corsets in advance on some kind of underwear or a T-shirt. Men are offered to untie the corset in the shortest possible time. Who is the first - he won.

"Kiss in the Dark" Three or four couples. They are blindfolded and asked to find their man in the dark and kiss them. Speed is important, you can’t “probe” it. Caught in the hands - you kiss. As soon as 3 pairs have been formed (those who did not have time can wander for a long time, bumping into the winners) - we open our eyes, evaluate. Surely there is a "same-sex couple." Favorites are those who found the original partner, if there are none, whoever found someone first.

"Cancan for men". Everything is clear here. The winner is the one who raised his leg higher and more accurately hit the beat.

"Guess what". The woman points to an element of her costume, the two men must say what it is as quickly as possible. Try to provide elements such as boa, bolero, arctic fox, clip-on earrings to make these words difficult. Who last, he drinks absinthe. The winner is kissed, the loser is so good (he's pretty fucked up, so to speak).

The judge - a girl with red lipstick - leaves a kiss mark on the winner's cheek. The maximum number of prints of her lips determines the overall winner.

As a super prize, there can be a pack of cigars, a bottle of absinthe for men, an element of good cosmetics (a set of shadows, a makeup brush, a French Eau de Toilette), bottles of French wine for women.

12. Gifts.

Gifts shouldn't be cheap and useful (it's not a hippie party), they should be expensive and showy. If it's a birthday, give a gift from the whole team, this will add realism to the implementation of this recommendation.

A man can be presented with cufflinks, good alcohol, cigars (according to individual preferences), a solid leather belt or a business briefcase.

For a woman - expensive jewelry or gold. Also suitable glamorous clutch, shawl, cosmetics.

Important!

Take a lot of photos, or better yet, hire a professional photographer. After all, for sure you will be at such a party for the first and last time!

Remember the world where you are Monica, Jessica, Marilyn, and not Katya, Lilya and Tonya. And photographs store not only a picture, but also feelings, smells, sounds, emotions ...

The most outrageous party to you!

The dream of lovers is that their wedding is interesting, beautiful, perfect and memorable. The wedding of your dreams can be a Moulin Rouge wedding.

It is so beautiful and amazing that both the bride and groom and the guests who were lucky enough to be present at the celebration will remember it. Lucky, because when else will you have the opportunity to plunge into the world of colors, fun, music and dance.

Moulin Rouge is a French cabaret. To recreate the bohemian atmosphere, you will have to work hard, but the result, if everything works out, is worth it.

Photo session of a chic, bold, interesting and fun wedding in the style of Moulin Rouge

Who is the Moulin Rouge wedding for? Couples who are not alien to creativity, laughter and art. Couples who want to surprise guests and remember their wedding as one of the most wonderful events in their lives. We invite you to see what this stunning wedding looks like./p>

General characteristics and style features

Let's break down the arrangement of the wedding in the style of the Moulin Rouge. This way you won't miss a single detail. And do not forget to agree in advance with a professional photographer and videographer, otherwise the photo session will be a failure, not to mention video shooting.

DIY Moulin Rouge Wedding Invitation Cards

According to the invitation, guests should guess what awaits them. You can order, or you can make them yourself - who feels the atmosphere of the upcoming celebration better than you? Here are some easy options.

Insert into invitation programs with a wedding script.
We glue a postcard made of silk paper to the touch with lace, imitating a garter, on top of a red ribbon bow.
Take striped paper as a base. From above, make an application in the form of mademoiselle in a revealing outfit.

The text of the invitation should not be simple. Make it ornate:

“Monsieur and Mademoiselle will be glad to see you at their Moulin Rouge cabaret on the occasion of a joint celebration. You will see stunning lights and colors, enjoy music and fun. Waiting for you. The dress code is appropriate."

Features of the clothes of young people, witnesses and guests

The clothes of young people, witnesses and invited guests should correspond to the theme of the wedding.

The bride's attire is a dress with a corset, with a seductive and deep neckline, high-heeled shoes, a lace garter on the leg. The color can also be white, the main thing is that the skirt is fluffy with a long train and a high slit on the side, feathers, boas, lace. Long gloves, a red bow, a rose accentuate the Moulin Rouge outfit. A veil, in any case, at the celebration itself, is not required. Instead, a miniature hat with feathers and a veil flaunts on her head.
The groom's attire is a black tuxedo or tailcoat with a bowtie and a white shirt with cufflinks. Ceremonial shoes: black lacquered shoes. A black cylinder will also come in handy, as well as a cane, gloves, a mouthpiece, a watch on a chain. A red flower is inserted into the buttonhole of the tailcoat.
Witnesses must be dressed to match the young, that is, like cabaret actors. Unless their outfits are less pretentious than the outfits of the bride and groom.
Do not forget to do hairstyles - large curls playfully descend on bare shoulders, a lush rose flaunts in your hair.
A costumed wedding is a troublesome and expensive business. You cannot dress all women and men in dresses and costumes of that time. But this is not critical. The main thing is that all guests should be in evening dresses, preferably with clutches (ladies). At the entrance, offer guests accessories in the spirit of the Moulin Rouge. Women - fishnet stockings, a flower or a bow in their hair, red garters, lace fans with feathers. For men - a cane, gloves, mouthpieces, a red flower in the buttonhole.

Wedding bouquet of the bride

The bride's bouquet is bright, elegant, but not large. The perfect combination: white and red wine roses. The bouquet contains dark blue or black feathers, rose petals and feathers decorated with rhinestones and stones.

Decorating the wedding venue

Pay close attention to the choice of the hall, and its design, decor, entertainment and, of course, the kitchen. Then the Moulin Rouge wedding will go like clockwork. And be sure to think over and hold a bachelor and bachelorette party in the Moulin Rouge style, and perhaps even a bride price. And go all out on them.

Moulin Rouge Wedding Party

The party program should be exciting, memorable and fun. Invite mimes who will follow the mood of the guests and copy them. A musician with an accordion who will play French melodies throughout the evening.

The selection of a toastmaster (entertainer) is also important. He must not only be smart and witty, but also able to draw guests into entertainment and dancing.

Competitions and entertainment reflect France, Paris:

the most incendiary can-can;
best suit;
pantomime;
shadow play;
cartoonist;
poetry competition in honor of the young;
tricks;
and, of course, incendiary dances.

At the beginning of the party or immediately after registration, launch pigeons into the sky, and at the end, light fireworks.

Prepare the newlyweds dance in the style of the Moulin Rouge. For example, the same can-can. The bride, lifting her skirts and revealing her slender legs, performs a dance for the groom, who is sitting at a separate round table. Cheerful music, ringing of coins - the young man obviously liked the dance.

Culinary style delights and a wedding cake

Guests may not like turtle soup, snails, or frog legs. But you can find decent dishes on the French menu. Or call them in the French manner:

goose liver pate (foie gras);
beef and chicken baked under French wine;
French bread and baguettes;
French sauces: Provence, mustard, bechamel;
wines, champagne with specially made labels in French.

Creme brulee;
pears with chocolate and vanilla ice cream (Poire Belle Helene);
chocolate mousse;
hot chocolate;
hot croissants and profiteroles.

The Moulin Rouge wedding cake is tall with many tiers. At the very top are the figures of the newlyweds. The color of the cake is classic, but the decor is bright, sustained in black and red: mastic draperies, sugar or oil flowers.

The style of the cake can be classic or fantasy, for example, in the form of a scene with dancers, a retro car, a puffy layered skirt or a corset.

Honeymoon transport

The newlyweds must drive retro cars to the ceremony, to the banquet hall and around the city. Well, if there are several of them, you get a wedding procession. Decorate cars with ribbons, flowers, long feathers. And don't be afraid to overdo it in car decoration.

…it’s in the details, and this has a lot to do with the Moulin Rouge style wedding

Important little things and decor elements inherent in the style

Finally, about the hall, its design and other important details.

The lights are subdued and the room has an intimate atmosphere.
Primary colors in the design: white, red, black.
If space permits, set up round tables for guests.
Each table is decorated with flower bouquets in baskets.
There are always many flowers at a wedding. Ask the waiters to arrange bouquets throughout the hall, and not collect them on one table.
The place for the newlyweds is literally immersed in flowers.
Feathers, candles, paintings depicting the streets of Paris, paper and light garlands, drapery, huge hearts and roses hanging from the ceiling will not be superfluous.

Feel the cabaret atmosphere, and then the themed wedding will be perfect. And don't forget the gifts for the guests. It can be magnets or all the surroundings that were waiting for them at the entrance.

By the way, you can see how wonderful guys organized their wedding in the style of Moulin Rouge: Natalya and Victor by watching the video clip below. Happy viewing and happy holidays!

The stone French pavement, the night, the wings of a scandalous mill lit with red lights in the bohemian sky of France ... The decline in the morals of society, and an unshakable faith in the sincere feeling of individuals. Now silence reigns in this area, but very soon the Moulin Rouge will open its gates, decorated with a scarlet bulldenezh to the first dressed up guests. And you are the lucky winner of an invitation card for this evening? And are you sure you want to be there? And, of course, you will be as magnificently dressed as the royal ministers, or - the Maharaja? Or, on the contrary, will you be among the cabaret dancers, in a magnificent hat with feathers?

Fortunately, the Moulin Rouge is rich in images, and there are plenty to choose from for a party!

MOULIN ROUGE PARTY COSTUMES

To begin, a few words about color scheme. Extravagant outfits in red, green, gold and silver tones will harmonize well with the entire environment of the impromptu hall of the Red Mill.

Yes mom, to comply with the established dress code, it is best to give preference to long evening dresses with a train and a deep neckline. It is important to pay due attention to accessories, adding a red or black boa, garter, sequined ribbon or satin gloves to the outfit. Be sure to wear your most expensive necklaces, bracelets and rings with the dress. Flashy wealth is a natural pass for a woman at the Moulin Rouge.
