Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker and his "Meet the Barkers" reality show co-star slash wife Shanna Moakler wanted their wedding day to be themed after their favorite movie. And since their favorite movie is "Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas,' the wedding was not exactly going to be a traditional one. The couple's wedding coordinator picked a red and black color palette to bring the movie's influence to life... without making the wedding tacky. Moakler's wedding dress was actually somewhat traditional... she wore a lace gown with a ballroom skirt. But the goth influence was still there, as the bride accented her gown with a black sash and wore a tilted black net hat. Your wedding can follow the anything but traditional couple's lead, even if you don't want to go all goth or punk on your wedding day. You and your fiancée can choose your favorite movie, TV show, book, or even song and get your wedding planner to help you figure out how to tastefully theme your wedding around it. Colors inspired by your favorite film will probably be a bit classier than putting a giant Titanic replica in the middle of your reception or asking your officiant to dress up like Darth Vader. But it's your wedding day, so you can make it as tasteful and conventional, or as strange and out there as you want to. The punk rocker and his former Miss USA bride certainly had the wedding day they wanted, and you should too... no matter how different from the norm your idea is for a "perfect wedding day."
