Whimsical 50's inspired wedding

[Deleted User] · August 2011

I think I have a complete (almost unnatural) obsession with this concept...

I think I am def doing a 50's inspired wedding dress with birdcage veil and bright satin pumps (picture a candy anthony style dress)

Our color inspiration is a blue orchid

Inspiration boards like this make me giddy..

Now, how do I make this happen? Any ideas for centerpieces, recption decor, etc?

If you're wondering what kind of quirkiness I'm talking about, picture music like late 50's/early 60's music such as Wonderful World and Runaround Sue playing all night long.... betta fish in centerpieces.... those poof ball thingy magjigs...pictures on a merry go round.........

There's a fine line between whimsical and tacky, and I don't want to cross it!

That sounds like such a fun wedding theme. I love it!

You're gonna have so much fun planning your wedding with a theme like that. I really like the idea and concept.

Do you have a florist?

Based on your vision, I would say that you should talk to Renee Landry. She makes pom poms and has lots of ideas. You can always DIY when you like somethng but it's out of budget. Just a thought.
