Incorporating the 1980’s as part of your wedding or wedding party theme gives you a lot of leeway, from hairstyles to dress to the music you play or decade related favors. The key is to mix the solemnity of the occasion with the fun of a decade that took everything it could and made it bigger and more garish then it was previously.
The easiest way to incorporate the 80’s into your wedding ideas is through dress, hairstyles and music. Your options are virtually countless. Dress can be as simple as big shoulder pads and pumps for women and double breasted suits with power ties for men. Big hair was the style of the day for women, while 80’s style men’s hair ranged from Wall Street slick to Flock of Seagulls style punk; either way, the makers of hair products scored big.
80’s style wedding enterpieces are also easy ways to commemorate the decade without going overboard. Including a disposable wedding camera on every table will allow your guests to capture the day and will let you build a CD and/or scrapbook that will remind you of the specialness of the occasion as well as memorialize how your friends remember both the day and the 80’s.
An 80’s Theme Wedding , wedding party or reception is a fun way to remember the closest thing our generation has had to anything “roaring.” It will let you remember a time when things were certainly more innocent and also give your special day a party favor. Most of all, you will get to incorporate the largeness of the decade in a way that will always remind you of the impact of your big event on your lives long after the 80’s are relegated to nostalgia.
Wedding theme colors have to be chosen carefully and matched appropriately. Adopting bright, bold colors can give off an aura of aggression that subconsciously sets the mood for an event. Likewise, colors that are too muted or dingy can set a standard for sloppiness or look shabby in photos.
Colors can also be used to set the mood for other types of themes. A Celtic Collection will use greens and cream colored articles. The Autumn Splendor Collection highlights the colors of the fall, including brown, orange and yellow.
