Anyone doing Pin-up Themed weddings?

My fiance and I are huge into rockabilly music and the whole 50s greaser, motorcycles, cars, etc. and we both LOVE pin-ups.

Too bad we are stuck here in the midwest rather than being someplace cool like texas or so cal.

Anyways I want to put pin-up stuff everywhere in my wedding. All my bridesmaids are going to wear cute 50s pin-up dresses from pin-up girl clothing and in all of their bridesmaid bags I'm doing pin-up themed stuff.

Also for my fiances grooms gift I think I'm going to get pin-up/boudoir photos taken of myself and order them as a really nice coffee table book and give them to him the night before our wedding.

Anyone else into pinup style?

im doing polkadot dresses for my bridesmaids that are sort of pin-up inspired (you can see them in my bio) but thats about it. my whole wedding is kinda polka-dot centric

I think pinups are so so cute!  I would love to do pinup boudoir photos, but alas, I can't afford them.  Though I've done them myself in the past, so I may do that again.

Are you really giving your fiance's groomsmen boudoir photos of yourself?  Ö.ö

You're speaking my language, haha.

I'm so early in the planning process that god only knows what I'll actually end up with, but I'm so obsessed with pin-up girls of the 40s/50s. I think my life would be complete if I looked like Rita Hayworth.

I definitely plan on some boudoir photos, and I'm feeling confident about wanting a tea-length dress.  I don't know if it'll happen since a lot of my close friends don't live near me, but there's a place in LA (maybe other places too?) called...uh... Poliste? or something like that.  They offer parties where they teach you how to pole dance, and lap dance, etc. The lady I spoke to at a bridal expo mentioned something about burlesque dancing, and I was practically sold.

I'd love to see some pictures of the pin-up things you're giving the bridesmaids!
