80's Theme Weddings Celebrate the Grandness of the Day in Unique Style

Virtually everyone who was a teenager or adult during the decade has a fond memory or two about the 1980's and many people are incorporating an 80's Theme Wedding as the undercurrent for their special day. 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 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. Music, however, is perhaps the most diverse and tasteful as the range of popular music during the decade included old, classic, new and traditional, including Barry Manilow, Madonna, Van Halen and Billy Joel; your choices are wide varied and will liven up any reception.

Reception Themes

80's style centerpieces 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. The key is to have fun, but not fully embrace the tackiness that seemed to permeate the entire decade.

An 80's Theme 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 unique flavor. 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.

Planning Your Wedding
One of the biggest hurdles for an engaged couple, even before they become husband and wife and start their new life together is planning a wedding, and this includes setting a wedding budget and then staying under budget.
Wedding Themes - Creating a Unique Affair that Epitomizes the Bride and Groom
Billy Idol sang that "It's a Nice Day for a White Wedding" and for more than a hundred years, brides have been walking down the aisle in a white wedding dress. It seems to be the "proper" thing to do, with a formal wedding ceremony, and a very dignified sit down dinner reception afterwards.

    On our wedding last year, the theme was 80's. Most music that played and fashion statement in our wedding were 80's. It so cool to see my mom and my dad enjoying our wedding theme. The reception was held on our garden. We got married in San Francisco. Tent rentals there are affordable that's why my sister had easily fixed the venue's needs. My husband suggested a tent rental (San Francisco-based) because that day, the weather was cloudy and it seemed like it would rain. So we prepared tents.
