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.
The easiest way to incorporate the 80’s into your wedding reception idea 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. 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.
80’s style centerpiece ideas are also easy ways to commemorate the decade without going overboard. The key is to have fun, but not fully embrace the tackiness that seemed to permeate the entire decade.
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.
The best choices are to opt for primary colors. Bolder and darker colors should be used to augment a primary color scheme or to highlight streamlined lines or shades of color as in two-toned invitations or wedding collections like the Thymeless or Platinum by Design Collection.
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.
