I need help clarifying my theme! I am not sure what the overall category would be. I have had a lot of different input about what it is so now I am confused! I just am going off an overall vision but I want to make sure everything makes sense together! Here is some examples of what I have/picked out....
- Floor Length, black, one shoulder bridesmaids dresses
- Groom and groomsmen wearing black Chuck Taylors with tuxes 
- Old car for us and old red double decker bus for guests transportation
- Candy/cupcake bar
- Old glass bottle sodas with red and white stripe paper straws
- Photobooth at reception and photobooth save the dates
- Vintage typography for programs
- Lace textured invitations and table clothes
- Black, white, and red as color scheme 
- Red roses for flowers

What would you say the theme is?? Undecided

Wedding.
fiancee = vag ** fiance = peen ** Babies shouldn't be born with jobs ** **They're called first loves for a reason -- more are supposed to come after. You don't get a medal for marrying your prom date. Unless you're imoan. Then you get an all-expenses paid cruise to the Mediterranean and you get to meet Jared Padalecki on the flight over while wearing your jammies. But still no medal. **

You don't need a theme.  Weddings have an automatic theme - marriage.

Wow... you have a whole lot of details already worked out for a year and a half out!  On the one hand, I'm impressed... but on the other hand, are you sure you want to make decisions like the bridesmaids dresses so early?  A lot can change in the next year.

For me, the converse, red & white straws with glass bottles, and candy buffet gives a1950's retro feeling. Especially with the old cars...

I love the retro/vintage look!

Vintage quirky? Whatever you call it, it sounds great!

I'd also say vintage/retro.  I think it's a great idea!
