Retro Wedding Reception


This theme begins with the wedding invitation - white on black. The groom and his men all wear classic black tuxes and cocky fedoras in the tradition of Sinatra. The bride and her maids are delightful and de-lovely in sleek, streamlined cocktail dresses, reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn. Florals are classic white roses and lily-of-the-valley. The wedding party will enter the sanctuary to an instrumental version of the standard "It Had To Be You." This retro feel is carried on to the reception. The cocktail hour prior to dinner will feature a signature cocktail - the classic martini - served with appetizers. The entertainment will feature the music of Old Blue Eyes, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Mel Torme, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn and other hipsters of the era. The bridal couple's first dance will be to the seductive sounds of Sinatra's "The Best Is Yet To Come". It will be a "Forever Cool" evening for all.
