The Big Wedding | Steel Magnolias (1989) | Now Playing

[@dolphinsmacks263]

This wedding is so 80s I can't even. It's fantastic.

[@bhavanithillai]

I know Those Golden 80s 😢

[@Elizabeth-rq1vi]

Yes…a vomit of pink! 🤣🤣😵‍💫 I love this movie!

[@amidthephantomsrose]

Yes. And 90s too. Reminds me of my eldest aunt's wedding. I was a flower girl then and only about 4 years old. And everything was pink. Us girls in the bridal party our dresses were pink lace. Even my uncle's wedding a few years later, where I was also a flower girl, very similar decor, except with gold. So nostalgic for back then

[@KM-nw7be]

Weddings I went to in the 80s lasted for hours, with lots of food, open bar, and a live band for dancing.

[@lisacassar7040]

it does look a teensy bit like pepto bismal

[@nativeskin7819]

I love the fact that they were so warm and welcoming to Anelle, including inviting her to the wedding so she didn't feel left out.

[@laminage]

I thought I was the only one who felt like that too. When My Sister got married we invited our Neighbors who felt a little out of place. They were one of the very few White Folks at the Wedding but by the end of the evening they had the time of their life even learning to do The Electric Slide.

[@laminage]

Can you imagine how fun it must have been to be a "Extra" in this Movie. Dylan McDermott in my opinion never gets the credit he deserves. He plays Jackson Latree a Lawyer and a well dressed one, then he plays Peter in Party Monster, then of course on The Practice (The Sister Show Of Ally McBeal). I wonder if Daryl Hannah felt if she dodged a bullet by not marrying JFK Jr.

[@laminage]

Also The Beauty Queen's Mother is so toxic. A real stage mother.

[@Fangs4DaMemories]

"The church looks like its been hosed down with Pepto Bismal." "I like pink. Pink is my signature color."

[@robsy37675]

My colours are Blush and Bashful

[@tdaetaunm]

Her color is pink

[@dianeyoung3752]

Ya awful color 😂

[@franceskajacobs2766]

My favorite color 2 my mom Call me up. God, rest your soul. I miss her every day said brandy. You have to watch this movie. Her favorite colors, pink too love. My mom love this movie. Love the cast forever special.

[@CornbreadOracle]

“Clairee, you know I’d rather walk on my lips than to criticize anybody, *BUT* …” still kills me. Only Dolly Parton could deliver shade like that and still be adorable.

[@laminage]

What an amazing lady she is. Can you imagine the Bank she got off of I Will Always Love You. Then Sally Field's performance in Sybil would be the inspiration for Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears because Sybil sat in a Big chair.

[@laminage]

Did you hear about how Dolly crashed a Dolly Parton lookalike Contest and walked across the stage and another lady "won". I don't think she's going to do any more TV Movies about her life growing up after what Rick Schroder did with the Domestic Violence issue. Adele did the same thing where she disguised herself as a tribute singer and only after the fact did the ladies know it was her. One was a Drag Queen.😊

[@MarilynSharpGraben-qi5oe]

Genius

[@TuscanMilkmaid]

Janice Van Meter, aka the lady dancing without the girdle was played by the late great Nancy Parsons, aka Mrs. Balbricker in "Porky's".

[@barbaragroves]

@@TuscanMilkmaid She was such an underrated actress. Even her bit part in this movie was great.

[@alleycat-oy5kv]

I will never stop being tickled by the fact that this hairdo is considered "wearing my hair down, because Jackson likes it down."

[@debra2700]

In the South it's "The higher the hair, the closer to Jesus."

[@AmandaHW1984]

Get over it, Mama! 😂

[@peponwi2716]

Gravity did not stand a chance against that hairdo.

[@nberrypatch02]

"Looks like two pigs fightin' under a blamket" It's been 34 years since I first heard that line & it still cracks me up. I love Olympia Dukakis' role as Clairee, especially her banter with Ouiser (Shirley MacLaine). Everyone gave a stellar performance in this film, but those two are comedic gold! The funeral/cemetery scene is a roller coaster of emotions.

[@coffeecrimegal5968]

I first saw this movie as a child!! Even then Clairee & Ouisa reminded me of my sister & I! Now that we’re actually older… I see I was right! 😂😅

[@tmmaston]

The shade Dolly and Olympia threw was iconic.

[@g3tf673d]

This is mine and my mama's movie - she's been watching since she got pregnant with me in 1990, and I've been watching it with her since before I could talk. We quote this movie all the time and never get tired of watching it. My wedding is going to be early 2025 and my bridal shower is gonna be Steel Magnolias theme - blush and bashful, house wine of the South, and the blood-red armadillo groom's cake!

[@3blackcats999]

Love it! Hope it’s everything you want it to be!💗💗💗

[@lovelight6973]

Nice! Love it ❤

[@johnloy3988]

[@artemis2520]

Same here. I'm only 21 but grew up watching this movie with my mom, we love it to pieces and cry every time we watch it. This movie is a classic. Best of luck with your wedding!!! It sounds like it will be absolutely wonderful!!!

[@marshatolbert154]

I actually really love Shelby’s dress, with the touches of pink. That was unusual for the time.

[@Richard-vq7ud]

Make wedding dresses and bridesmaid dresses beautiful again!

[@tmmaston]

Thee 80s were big on neon colors but they were also real big on pastel colors such as blush and bashful.

[@1tommyday]

Those hats 👒 No one mentions Daryll Hannah in this movie because her character wasn't as strong. But she was excellent and deserves some recognition

[@TheNyteScrybe]

Shirley McClain's face at the beginning never fails to crack me up.

[@amara1954]

And when she said drum is a boil on the butt of humanity 😂

[@bigums21]

The armadillo cake is iconic.

[@sassbrat]

I love it when Ouiser give drum the back end of the cake letting him know what she thinks of him and he just fires right back.

[@captmurdock]

You're right about Dolly and Olympia, although my grandmother's sisters came mighty close. West Virgina born and bred, but they could throw shade like the good ladies of Chickasaw Parrish.

[@WBCRO]

“That looks like an autopsy.” That line always cracks me up. Shirley M’s deadpan delivery is perfect.

[@TheLadySilverMoon]

I love the all couples that just go to town on the dance floor and show off their skills.

[@Richard-vq7ud]

[@VileMisanthrope]

"Thanks Ouiser. Nothin like a good piece of ass." Best line in the whole movie and he delivers it so subtly.

[@cherylhulting1301]

Tom Skerrit was a national treasure. That's one of my favorite lines too; his line read is hilarious. 😅

It seems like ppl in 80s had more fun, more money, more energy. Nowadays everyone works non stop, no money, no energy...

[@Anna-fm7hh]

But it's not a documentary, not a lot to do with reality.

[@lauracroke4383]

Robert was also the brother of the real "Shelby", Susan Harling Robinson.

[@laminage]

In 1981 when Two Characters on The UK Soap Opera Coronation Street got married Ken Barlow (Played By William Roache) and Diedre (Played By The Late Anne Kirkbride) got married, they were married by a UK Celebrity Minister The Reverend Topping. Folks asked if they were really married. They even got more of a viewing audience next to Prince Charles & Princess Diana. Sadly there were to unhappy endings, Diedre "dies" on the show and in real life, while in real life Princess Diana dies as well.
