The 1950’s was a time of the American dream, the family, soda shoppes, and fun music. Not only is this a creative and vintage theme, but it is also very easy to pull off and is open for individual creativity and personalization.

With a 50’s theme, there is no specific color family to stick with. A Google images search of “1950’s inspired weddings” yields lots of cherry red, but also aqua, lemon yellow, bold green, pink and purple. With this freedom of color choice, what will set apart a wedding as “50’s inspired”? All the little details of course!

Music was extremely popular during the 1950’s. The movie Grease and the popular TV show “American Bandstand” were all about the music. Hire a band to play some old 50’s hits that will surely get your guests on the dance floor swinging the night away! Keep the music feeling going by using old records as your centerpieces for a fun DIY project that RD I Do can help you implement. Elvis, Beach Boys, Frank Sinatra or Doris Day records can really help transport your guests back a few decades to that 50’s music era.

The 50’s were a fun and lighthearted era in American History as well. A wonderful way to capture this feeling is in an old-school candy bar for dessert or your favors. A retro gumball machine or jars of colorful rock candy will make your guests feel like a kid in an old-fashioned candy store. For drinks, use Jones soda as inspiration for bright bubbly drinks that can be personalized with a special label of names or engagement pictures. Incorporate your monogram with any of these ideas to add that extra special touch to your big day!
