Check out this discussion by Simone of a Grease themed wedding. Lots of vintage vibes for inspiration!

Gotcha! I think with that era a big thing is the music. I'll be walking down the aisle to something from motown - likely Heaven must have sent you by the Elgins and for the ceremony we're having 50s crooners/motown. After the ceremony we won't be too themey but I think it'll get everyone into the spirit.

To be honest, we don't have a super crisp idea of the theme; but our families are both from smaller farming towns with an emphasis of our childhoods being up north, in small cottages by a lake. Things that are simplistic and rustic like string lights and jars would be perfect. We would love to tie in things that are representative of the 50's (such as vinyl records, tube amp radios, classic cars) in a way that isn't going to take away from the country/up-north feeling. Your tips and ideas are very helpful. Thank you!

Do you mean old school vintage like teacups and chalkboard or more retro like early 60s? We're kind of doing a mix. Our centrepieces will be vintage and modern books (my favourites), with a vintage milk bottle (rose and carnation), gold spraypainted hot wheels (my fiance is a car guy) with votive candles (mix of different glass votives) and a quote from one of the books. Our favours are going to be old school matchboxes (most of our parents generation gave out matchbooks at favours).

I think with this theme, it's a less is more situation. Since it's in a barn, I'd suggest some string lights, cake stands and jars for the desserts and lots of candles. Vistaprint and minted have a lot of great invitation ideas. I love having an incentive to learn calligraphy so I spent some time learning it. I have a post here and we worked with a local stamp collector to help get some stamps including some from WW2 era. Keep us posted on what you choose to do.

Thank you so much! These are all beautiful and exactly what I was searching for.

Here are some different things I found on pinterest.
