Planning A 1960s Wedding

Planning a wedding is one of the most fun things I had had to do. For all the brides who have passed through this experience: Don’t shoot me! I know this thing should not be said but for me, it was absolutely wonderful. Planning a wedding for my best friend was fabulous and I have to say: although I found it tiring, I loved every minute of it. It was not some kind of stressful period, because we started planning a long time before the actual moment, so we had enough time to shop for wedding dresses and in the same time to make a day of it.




Also, neither of us is like some of the women who practically could kill someone if the flower arrangement misses a leaf or the wedding cake is not white enough. Therefore, we decided to plan a fun wedding, a bit different from all those you have already imagined. We decided to plan a 1960s wedding! Although not many couples would want to have such a wedding theme, my friends decided to be more unconventional and give it a try. And I gladly helped them.

A marvelous idea when planning a 1960s wedding is trying to inspire from the models which were famous at that time. Jackie Kennedy, The Beatles, Austin Powers etc can represent great sources of inspiration when planning such a wedding. First of all, start with the invitations. Think who will be happy to join such an event and how he or she should come prepared. Mark on the invitation the theme and give some suggestions about how they should get dressed.

Afterword, you have to consider your wedding dress and also the ones of your bridesmaids. White gloves, high-necked dresses, square toe shoes and many other elements can help you get into the real spirit of the 60s.You can dress your bridesmaids with a combination of short skirts and long boots. For your wedding bouquet I suggest some nice daisies which will bring joy and happiness to your wedding, and for your bridesmaids a little daisy clung to the blouse or dress.

Don’t forget about the location! (of course you won’t because if you do, you won’t have any place to host the actual reception). It would have been probably more appropriate to start with the location, but I got too excited. A great location would be anywhere outside.1960s weddings are famous for their freshness and elegance. Planning an out door wedding will constantly remind your guests what is the purpose of the theme: sharing some of the naturalness and grace of the 1960s people.

Planning a 1960s wedding can be a challenge for those who are more traditional or are afraid things might go bad. Living the 1960s spirit is about simpleness and elegance. At that time, people were living in a cleaner world, where no body was so stressed and eager to acquire as much fortune as he or she cans, through all sorts of ways. Values were deeply engraved in people’s minds and they were all aware of what respect means.
