Pop! Goes the Wedding

Ok, who got the title? It's a play on the song "Pop goes the world" by Men Without Hats, that incredible 80's band. And that's today's theme - the incredible 80's! When neon was the norm and jelly shoes were a fashion statement. So lets have a wedding!


There's a lot of different paths to take in an 80's wedding: 80's glam, 80's rock, 80's executive, 80's pop. I could go on and on. For this wedding, I wanted to use the 80's pop idea, cuz it's SO fun!


A few things to remember for your 80's wedding: Jelly shoes rock, the bride needs to wear lots of tule, and early Madonna is a mix of the 50's and shabby-chic. So grab your mix tape, and dance, dance, dance!

Punk Rock Love

Punk rock music has such an incredible attitude to it that speaks of independence, of fun, and of finding your own road.


For this wedding, I wanted to go for a feel of a concert and a wedding "married". The ceremony and reception taking place in the same room, with the ceremony taking place on the stage, then after the wedding, a great Ramones cover band, The Ramonas, takes the stage.


For the bride, this incredible Wai Chang wedding gown made of hand died silks. It's so incredible. paired with some kicking black stilettos, and a peacock feather fan instead of (in the words of the Offbeat Bride) the "standard clump of flowers".


For the bridesmaids, a cute little black frock with plaid shoes (I had to, they are so delish), a nice studded wrist cuff and less-pretty peacock feather fan.


The invites, a play off the invites to Ashlee Simpson's wedding. You could use the Gashlycrumb Tinies as a theme style. And I love the cake, by the Bleeding Heart Bakery - the ultimate in punk bakeries.


But overall, make it fun, make it dark, and make it punk!


We miss you Joey!
