Sarah & David’s “love never dies” rockabilly wedding
Rockabilly can be a great equalizer among generations. This pair took advantage of that and crafted a sweet little 1950s-style soiree that everyone could enjoy. Even grandpa ended up with temporary tattoos all over his noggin. Add in paper retro car centerpieces, a mini juke box, some sliders and bottled soda, and the party’s made.

Kitschy fun “just married” dress embroidery for your honeymoon outfit
I recently picked up embroidery and LOVE IT. (It is like the craft equivalent of coloring in a coloring book.)

I wanted something that was retro, kitschy, fun, and just special, so here’s what I came up with.
Hayley & Stephen’s 1950s polka dot wedding
They could have hopped a plane to Vegas, but why not capitalize on how good the groom looks with Teddy Boy hair and rock a 1950s theme? Add in a three-piece live band, black flamingo accents, and LOTS of polka dots, and the theme is made!
Jessica & Jacob’s low-key ’50s-Style wedding
At first I was like, “I love that dress!” and then I was all, “I love that hat!” And finally I said, “I love this wedding!” 1950s-inspired fashion, a low-key dinner after some geeky vows (Lord of the Rings and Doctor Who included), fun with a piñata, and a bazillion folded cranes — this is a wedding to savor.
