Features of a wedding in the style of a dude

The word “hipsters”, which is incomprehensible to the modern younger generation, refers to a subculture that was very widespread on the territory of the USSR in the 60-70s. Its main features were freedom of personality and self-expression, rock and roll, and emphasized individuality in the smallest details. Also in the spirit of that time, there was a special idea of ​​American culture, which parents imagined as a fairy tale consisting of continuous parties and pleasure.

Also, dudes were distinguished by the presence of their own slang, perky character and recognizable clothing details. It will be very simple to organize such a celebration, because no special investments will be required in material terms. It’s great if the couple is familiar with the era of that time from the stories of their parents or footage from films. The toastmaster will also be quite easy to find. You can let the professional do it yourself, or discuss the details with the help of wedding agencies.

It is worth remembering that this wedding model is very different from the usual classical ceremony and relatives of the previous generation cannot always correctly understand the plan. Sincere fun in the spirit of that time will definitely appeal to even the most skeptical guests. This wedding is suitable for fans of rock and roll, as well as lovers of personal freedom and creativity. When decorating a wedding, despite its simplicity, it is worth considering the following details:

• the music must correspond to the genre of that time: rock and roll, Elvis Presley or the boogie woogie genre;
• when combining colors, you can show your imagination and combine incongruous things both in the interior and in the costumes of guests;
• pipe-style trousers and a herring tie for the groom and men, the best colors are orange, yellow, scarlet;
• For girls, fitted versions of dresses with a fluffy but short skirt of the most unexpected colors are ideal;
• The bride price can be formalized in the spirit of the Soviet regime and their opposition, for example, the ransom of a girl from a skeptical party meeting.

It is worth thinking in advance about possible dances and competitions with similar motives, since the more fun at a given wedding, the better.

Clothes of the newlyweds and guests

The newlyweds are the main characters of the party. Their clothes at a wedding in the style of “hipsters” should look bright and extraordinary and at the same time not blend in with the motley crowd of dressed-up guests. The images of the lovers are as if they are about to break into a fiery dance.

Bride

Let's look at how the dudes chose their dresses.

• Fashionable girls preferred dresses just below the knee or mid-ankle length with a full skirt. The dresses were certainly bright. The bride should choose exactly this style. The color of the outfit can be white with bright accents (double hem, colored belt, bright skirt) or plain in any color of the rainbow (but then it will be more difficult to distinguish you among your friends). Wedding dresses with polka dots look beautiful and feminine.
• A small veil, gloves, bright jewelry and colored shoes will harmoniously fit into the image (the heel can be low, a platform is acceptable). Stockings with a seam at the back were popular among dudes. Since the product is in short supply, the girls got out of the situation and imitated stockings by manually drawing black arrows on their legs.
• Choose a simple hairstyle with clear lines; careless styling will not work. The look will be complemented by a babette, straight hair with ends curled outwards (good for medium length or a bob), a ponytail on the top of the head with neatly curled curls, loose curls, neat hairstyles on the side. Decorate your hair with a wide headband and/or bow to match your belt and shoes.
• Makeup should be catchy. Emphasize your eyes with arrows, and apply bright lipstick (preferably red) to your lips.
• Choose a small but bright bouquet. Gerberas or wildflowers work well. The palette of the composition should be in harmony with your image.

Groom

Young people valued their own style.

• A young man should also look deliberately bright. Allow yourself a colored jacket, blazer and/or checked trousers.
• Images with bright shirts look interesting; funny colored prints are allowed.
• Shoes can be bright or subdued, depending on the overall look you choose.
• A tie or bow tie can become accents that echo the colors of the bride's dress.
• Feel free to use a hat, suspenders and unusual cufflinks.
• The accent can be a hairstyle a la Elvis Presley.

Dress code for guests

A wedding in the style of “retro dudes” will appeal to your friends if they love bright and cheerful celebrations. Guests must match the chosen style, only in this case the wedding will truly turn out to be stylish.

Girls wear bright, short, straight-cut dresses or flared skirts. Bridesmaids can use color accents chosen by the hero of the occasion in their images. For example, if the bride’s dress contains colored details in the form of a belt, shoes or jewelry, her friends can wear plain dresses of these colors. You can emphasize your closeness to the bride with details - hairstyles, shoes, clutches. Discuss this in advance.

Men can wear ties, bow ties or suspenders like the groom. Make the same styling.

Remember the famous film “Hipsters” - a bright crowd of young people stood out in contrast against the background of gray streets and identically dressed fellow citizens. This is the effect you should strive for!

Bright cars for a bright company

Retro cars in bright colors will fit perfectly into the style of your wedding. Choose "Volga", "Chaika" or "Pobeda". Decorate your transport with ribbons and flowers. Hire a tram for your guests and offer them a ride through the city streets. Decorate it with bright ribbons, posters and posters.

Determining the wedding venue

The ideal room would be a spacious banquet hall; open air is not relevant for this style. You should not choose overly decorated rooms due to the need to change the design to the Soviet version with additional effort and time. If you want to create an exact copy of the atmosphere, you can negotiate with the palace of culture, or the dining room, in which the interior of that time has been preserved in detail. Ideally, there should be square plates on the ceiling area, long tables and fairly wide stairs and openings.

If you want freedom, you can rent cottage houses or hold a wedding in a country house. It is ideal if the dacha has a wide veranda where guests can hide and continue the fun in case of bad weather. The main requirement is a minimum of modernity in the decoration of premises.

Second stage of redemption

The company enters the entrance, goes up several floors - and then they are met by the Komsomol secretary. He asks tricky questions to the groom, for example:

Secretary: Stand, (groom's last name). Why weren’t you in class on the history of the CPSU?

Groom: And (name of the bride) and I went to the hut!

Secretary: At which party congress did you meet (fiancee's last name)?

Groom: In the smoking room before the first meeting, we didn’t even go to it! And then to family law, together!

Secretary: How are you going to pass the exam on the history of the CPSU if you are taking family law instead?

Groom: No way, I’ll hand over family law!

The questions are approximate and can be answered in different ways. You can encrypt real information and demand correct answers, you can ask questions that have nothing to do with the wedding, for example: When is Stalin's birthday? - Then, when my future mother-in-law, they have something in common! You can even brazenly run away, as befits the dudes, the main thing is that the hosts of the ransom discuss this point with the groom’s friends in advance. It’s better to run away from the last question, and having reached the bride’s apartment, the groom rings the doorbell. The bride's friends are actively making noise outside the door, making it clear that there is someone in the apartment.

Guys, with a mysterious bass voice at the door: Are you changing your three-room hut to a two-room one?

Girls: No, Solomon Izrailovich doesn’t mess with the exchange!

Guests are allowed into the apartment, where the groom nevertheless conveys his message to the bride and invites the bride to go to the registry office.

Outfit ideas

From the description, it is clear that the traditional white dress and suit of the groom will ruin the traditional picture of the 60s era.

Shaping the image of the bride

The bride's dress must meet the requirements of that era. Ideally, a short and bright dress model in light green, red, or another bright shade. A polka dot dress or a model with dense, large and bright prints will fit perfectly into the interior. Which can contrast with the main color.

If the bride insists on the traditional version of a white dress, a bright accent in the image would be appropriate - a belt, bag, shoes, or gloves in flashy colors. A bright skirt underneath, matching the accessory, will fit perfectly. The more pomp at the bottom of the bride's dress, the better. It should be achieved through a large number of fabrics and petticoats. The dress should have a fitted cut in keeping with the style of previous years. You can add a distinctive feature in the form of a belt that is tied at the waist on the back in a bright bow. For brave brides, the ideal solution would be thick stockings or tights. Shoes should be bright. either wedge or high heel. The theme of dudes in bright and compatible shades will be maintained as clearly as possible with this image of the bride.

You should choose a low hairstyle with smoothed hair. Options such as babette, bun, or high bouffant are perfect.

For decorations, it is recommended to choose large jewelry, satin ribbons and artificial, bright flowers. The place for them would be not on the forehead, but on the top of the head. Ideally, the strands should lie hair to hair. If you want to leave strands of hair untucked, you can wrap them in large curlers in the spirit of that time, or by wrapping them in a curling iron.

The veil in this wedding style is not used in the traditional sense. But if you wish, you can secure it at the bottom of your hairstyle. A short veil that matches the main color of the celebration will fit perfectly into the look. The bride's makeup should emphasize her femininity, youth and elegance. You can choose bright, flashy accents in the image in the spirit of that time. This theme is an excellent opportunity to play with contrasting shades of makeup. The nude option is not relevant in this image. The bride's bouquet should be selected from the available flowers that grew in the plots of the then dudes - asters, phlox, dahlias.

Tips for shaping the image of the groom

In this wedding style, traditional black suits will look at least pretentious and strange, so it’s better to put them aside. For a dudes groom, an outfit in an unexpected combination of colors would be ideal: orange, light green, red or crimson. It would be ideal to use appropriate prints in the form of a cage or large polka dots.

If you have a more modest nature, you can wear discreet trousers - pipes and a bright-colored jacket. A tie should be chosen in the shape of a “herring”, preferably in a flashy color that matches the details of the bride’s image.

The boots are ideal with pointed toes, patent leather, and thick white soles. If the hair length is suitable and the groom has a bold nature, you can create a hairstyle in the style of the then youth idol Elvis Presley. Colored socks will be a bold detail of the groom's look.

Tips for dressing up guests and witnesses

To maintain the unity of the wedding style, the images of guests and witnesses must organically fit into the overall picture of the celebration. It is worth remembering that not all guests may have items from that era in their wardrobe. Therefore, it is important to think over additional accessories for invited guests and distribute them at the entrance. These can be large dark glasses, satin ribbons, ties and belts for women in flashy shades. The highlight of the evening will be the toastmaster in the role of a black marketeer, hiding under the floor and giving out the “deficit” to the participants. With a simple tie you can fit into the overall style of the wedding and not feel like a black sheep.

Bridesmaids are recommended to choose dresses that are as similar in style to the style of the bride's clothing as possible. A dudes wedding involves dress styles with a fitted silhouette and the presence of fluffy short skirts. Based on the color scheme, you can choose both items that are similar to the bride’s outfit, as well as options that are not similar to each other. The groom's suit should also match the outfits of his friends. You can invite men to wear ties of the same color as the jacket of the hero of the occasion.

Colored wedding - photo design

Check out the design elements for such a celebration. If you decide that your holiday should be brilliant, then a silver wedding is suitable. It’s good to do this in winter, because the decoration elements are akin to New Year’s.

You can decorate the wedding cake with edible glitter or make a similar one out of cardboard and surround it with decorative elements. To do this, you just need to wrap small tree branches with foil, and you will get a decoration, as in the photo on the right. Place candles on the tables, they will complement the atmosphere of general splendor.

White color goes well with silver. Take this idea into account when selecting dishes. White plates with silver edging look great, as in the right photo. The table can be covered with a silver tablecloth, against which bouquets of white roses and airy candlesticks made of clear crystal or glass look wonderful. Then let the chair covers be white.

A yellow wedding can also be held in winter to add sunshine to a frosty day. If the bride is wearing a white dress, then let orange tones predominate in the bouquet. If the newlywed wears yellow, then a bouquet where white tones predominate will look great against its background.

If a girl likes the color gold, use it. A flower of this color looks great on a white dress. And gold shoes will be another stylish accessory.

The surrounding space can be decorated to include yellow elements. These look good with gray and white accessories.

If you can't decide on a color or you like several, then go for a rainbow wedding.

The bride can shine in a white dress, and each of her bridesmaids will wear a solid dress of a certain color. The robe can be:

• yellow;
• red;
• orange;
• green;
• blue;
• blue;
• purple.

Use all the colors of the rainbow, as you know, there are 7 of them. These colors are listed above.

Using these color schemes, decorate the surrounding space, including tables. You can place yellow, red, green candles on them. Use vases of the same color containing flowers of a different tone. Place several small rainbow paintings on the tables. To create these, you don't need to be an artist at all. The bridesmaids and she herself can make similar accessories for the wedding the day before.

To do this they will need:

• sheets of cardboard;
• wooden frames;
• paints;
• markers;
• colored crayons;
• colored paper;
• scissors;
• glue;
• tassels.

Let the girls draw something like a rainbow or colored stripes located diagonally on rectangles of cardboard. These masterpieces are framed in wooden frames; butterflies made of colored paper can be glued to the corners. Glue a number from the same material in the center so that you can then place these attributes next to each guest. These items will help if you decide to host a wedding game and need to determine the winner under a certain number. Also, such attributes will become memorable gifts for guests. We make invitation cards, also using all the colorful flowers.

You can create these using a template.

When thinking about what dresses will suit your bridesmaids, don't forget about shoes and bouquets. These accessories should be in harmony with each other. Look how wonderful pairs of shoes and flowers look.

And here’s how these items look on bridesmaids.

The main character of the celebration here wears a white dress, so the bouquet should include flowers of all shades of the rainbow.

You can make a garland from the same natural material and decorate your celebration places with it.

The following wedding styles are no less interesting. They also imply bright colors when decorating a wedding.

Design of invitation cards

A wedding in the dude style cannot be complete without originally designed invitations. A few ideas will help in the original design of such an important detail:

• the use of antique records as a basis for invitations, indicating the time and details of the ceremony in the font of that era;
• antique invitation cards;
• DIY postcard options.

You can arrange a quest for guests in the spirit of that time. For example, come up with a code word encrypted in invitation cards. To get to the wedding, guests will have to guess the word. You can choose your own password for everyone if there are not so many guests. If a guest does not study the invitation carefully and makes a mistake, he will have to pay for his inattention.

When decorating postcards, you can use satin ribbons, polka dots, or use an image of a couple dancing boogie-woogie or retro dance. It would be a good idea to use dude slang in the text of invitation cards. But if older people are invited to a wedding, it is better to address them politely on an individual basis, especially if you are not sure of their sense of humor. It is necessary to specify in the invitations the presence of an appropriate dress code for guests and witnesses. An original idea would be to record video invitations.

Rules for organizing an event in the theme of the youth movement of the 40s-60s of the last century

The approach to decorating the holiday and preparing the script should be creative, so that during the entire celebration an atmosphere of fun, jokes and fiery dancing reigns. Preparing for a significant event, newlyweds think through a huge number of little things:

• wedding procession design;
• decoration of the hall, open summer area, tent, depending on the choice of the newlyweds;
• design of wedding invitations from the heyday of the dudes era;
• a careful approach to choosing the image of the newlyweds and guests;
• musical accompaniment;
• script, choice of artists;
• themed photo shoot.

Decoration of the wedding procession

To decorate a wedding in the style of “Hipsters”, choosing a presidential class car is not enough. The holiday atmosphere will help support the search for a real retro car.

Ideally, newlyweds or event organizers need to find a Volga or Pobeda as a wedding car

A mandatory attribute is to decorate the car with bright ribbons, colorful balls and a doll on the hood. With this approach, the wedding procession will definitely attract the attention of oncoming cars.

Wedding procession

Decorating the hall

The venue for a wedding in the dude format is decorated in a vintage style. When choosing an enclosed space, they make sure in advance that it is bright enough, and its area allows guests and artists to dance and perform to the rhythms of fiery melodies.

The classic rule is to decorate a hall or open summer area with colorful textiles, bright prints and retro attributes.

As a symbol of those times, the organizers install a record player , and the walls are decorated with vinyl records or black and white photographs. An old Soviet buffet with snacks for guests is suitable for a buffet.

The decoration of tables is subject to the same rules as the atmosphere of the entire holiday. White tablecloths are replaced with bright ones, placing bouquets of daisies in the center. Table setting involves the use of cut glasses and Soviet cutlery.

Glasses for newlyweds are made to order or decorated by the newlyweds in bright colors

A special stage or area should be provided for the musicians and presenter. Decorating the dance floor with an LED ball and garlands will fit perfectly into the format of the thematic event. Bright umbrellas, pearl beads and gloves will serve as excellent props.

Many newlyweds choose open summer areas or tents. The design of such areas must adhere to the same rules as the design of an enclosed space. Flights of fantasy and creativity of the newlyweds, their loved ones and wedding organizers are the key to an enchanting show and celebration that will be remembered by guests and heroes of the occasion for many years.

Decorating the hall

Wedding invitations

The popularity of invitations is explained by the need to surprise guests and prepare them for the theme of the upcoming event. The originality of invitations in the “Hipsters” format lies in reflecting the symbols of the youth trend, so you can approach preparation in different ways :

1. One option is to order postcards from a printing house with photographs of the newlyweds as Hipsters.
2. Invitations are also ordered in the form of vinyl records and black and white photographs.
3. If desired, the newlyweds can approach this issue creatively and make invitations with their own hands. You can make various applications on aged pieces of paper, decorate postcards with pieces of cut newspapers, flowers from foamiran and other materials.

Invitations to a themed celebration

Musical accompaniment

An enchanting wedding in the style of Hipsters must be maintained in every way. Music is no exception. You should take care of the party playlist in advance. The atmosphere of the retro holiday will be supported by hits of the 70s: blues, jazz, rock and roll, and, of course, boogie-woogie. For even greater effect, you can invite dancers or singers who will be dressed appropriately. It would be a great idea to have a saxophonist among the musicians.

Holiday photo shoot

What would a wedding be without a memorable photo shoot? To make the wedding day memorable forever, newlyweds should pay special attention to capturing the brightest moments. You can make a special photo zone using vinyl records, a player, and black and white photographs.

The design of the area with a drawn dude and a recess for the head will be original. Each guest can take a photo in the photo zone and by the end of the event receive bright photos in the format of a themed party.

Looking through the photographs many years later, the spouses will remember the bright and fiery moments of the best day of their lives.

Invited artists for a wedding in the style of "Hipsters"

If the newlyweds want their wedding to be bright and memorable, it is better to opt for a party in the Hipsters format . Such an event will make you plunge into the atmosphere of the youth movement of the 60s and get maximum emotions, drive and vivid impressions.

Decorating a wedding cortege

It would be ideal if you can find brands of Soviet cars like Volga, Niva, or Zhiguli for the wedding procession. It’s great if you can paint cars in bright, flashy shades of colors: orange, acidic, lemon colors. If this is not possible, you can correct the situation using the decor of the selected shades.

If you have the finances, you can rent a Soviet-era tram for guests. A walk in such a vehicle through the forest will definitely be an unforgettable and original adventure.

Scenario

A stylish party cannot be held properly without original competitions and games. All parts must be clearly included in an unambiguous, well-thought-out scenario. If a specific presenter or presenter is chosen, it is better if the main rules of behavior are clearly stated from the very beginning. After this, they usually present badges with invented names or nicknames - this will eliminate many mistakes and misunderstandings. Among the competitions there must be a competition for knowledge of the realities of style, as well as a “walk along Broadway” (in both cases there is a jury that distributes the final places among the contestants).

And sometimes they choose:

• artistic competition;
• a quiz on knowledge of the inclinations and personal traits of party participants;
• competition “Who is the most advanced dude at this evening”;
• competition “Who is the best dancer?”

To learn how to do makeup in the “Hipster” style, watch the following video.

Decoration of the banquet hall

It is important to remember that the dude style requires space. Much of the wedding takes place in dancing and participating in competitions. Therefore, it is recommended to move the tables away from the center closer to the walls of the establishment. The attributes of discotheques of that time will come in handy, for example, a glowing disco ball, vinyl players, a saxophone and other Soviet paraphernalia. Confetti and balloons of different shapes and bright colors are perfect for decoration. And paraphernalia can be bought or borrowed from collectors specializing in the time of the USSR.

You can hang either a poster of Elvis Presley or several copies of vinyl records in a prominent place. White plain tablecloths for tables in this style would be inappropriate. Blue, polka dot, orange or red fabric is ideal for decorating tables. The ambiance will be added by soda fountains, jellied fish, Olivier, as well as other types of Soviet-era dishes.

Fruit holiday - wedding decoration and photos

If you love apples, then pair your special occasion with this wonderful fruit. There must be apples on the tables

Using these fruits you can make delicious fruit drinks, compotes, cakes, and pies.

You definitely need to capture this day in photographs. The photographer will tell you how the newlyweds should stand and then add apple wreaths to them using Photoshop. And the bride will pretend to take a bite of this fruit.

For a celebration on this theme, classic outfits are suitable. The bride will wear a white dress and the groom will wear a suit. But you can complement the young man’s attire with a green neckerchief, because the apple wedding is planned to be of exactly this color. And to the light colors of the bride’s bouquet, add green and a few white ones.

For such a celebration it is not at all necessary to buy an expensive wedding dress. Regular chintz will look just as great. Let the bride complement it with a wreath and look natural and natural. And the groom can wear a regular white shirt and trousers. The artist, using Photoshop, will add such a photo of apples to preserve the atmosphere of this day as a memory. You can place a box of apples next to the bride and groom, who will lie down on a blanket. Using a photo editing program, it will be easy to add green hearts and various touches of this color to the photo.

Tangerine lovers will also be doubly happy on this day. After all, this is a wonderful event? the creation of a new family, and it takes place in the desired atmosphere.

You need to purchase several kilograms of tangerines in advance and you can decorate the table with them in this way.

Arrange these fruits in several rows and stick flowers into some of the tangerines. Cutlery is placed on both sides of this decoration.

Make signs for guests in white and glue them onto tags consisting of white and orange stripes. Place each sign next to an orange fruit to make it clear it's a tangerine wedding.

You can put these fruits in round containers and place them on and near tables to decorate the place of celebration.

If you love strawberries, then you will definitely like the next wedding idea (photo below).

If you grow strawberries in your country house, then pick them right on this day and put them in cardboard boxes. You can place a small bouquet on top of each container to decorate these items.

Be sure to include desserts made from this berry on your menu. These can be various cupcakes, cakes with icing or strawberry cream. In the center of such a confectionery mound, place a small bucket with this berry.

Red drinks will also look great on the tables. Therefore, cook strawberry compote and make a liqueur. Infuse vodka with strawberries. Don't forget to add sugar to make the drink tasty. Whipped cream, ice cream, and strawberry cookies will also be appreciated by guests, and such dishes are truly table decorations.

A pomegranate wedding will be bright and unforgettable. After all, the color of this fruit is deep red. Place the pomegranates in trays and fill the space between them with pine cones. You can hang small decorative chandeliers, the shades of which are made in the shape of this colorful fruit.

Let the bride wear a white dress, but the makeup will be rich, using red lipstick. The bridal bouquet should also not be faded; use shades of red.

You can put on a plate for each guest a flower of the same color, to which a sign with a picture of a pomegranate is attached.

If you wish, cut these fruits in half and decorate the sign this way.

Or you can hang signs on metal lampshades and secure them with regular clothespins. When decorating a garnet wedding, use red and white colors.

Options for accessories and additional decor

As you know, the whole picture of any party or wedding consists of little things that need to be given special attention. For example, glasses can be replaced with faceted wine glasses, or glasses with a laconic design of that era. It would be ideal if you can get dishes that are red or a similar color. On mugs or glasses you can make decorations from bows, which will be repeated on the dress of the hero of the wedding.

The cushion for the rings should definitely be made in a bright color. Any prints are allowed, be it a bow, polka dots or stripes of a bright shade. You can generously sprinkle the pillow with confetti or hide the rings in an abundance of sparkles of different sizes and colors.

The wish book can be designed in flashy orange, purple or light green tones. An original solution would be to design it in the form of a barn book or an old notebook. But in the case of the latter option, it is recommended to make notes with bright pens, markers and stamps to preserve a memorable modern moment.

Dude image for a girl

In the 50s and 60s, young representatives of a non-standard subculture wore shocking and somewhat flashy clothes not only for theme parties, but also for every day. In modern fashion, such solutions are welcomed only in details. And although the bright trend remains relevant from year to year, few people decide on a defiant appearance. However, fashion designers of our time often use retro elements, which helps them remain unique and individual in their decisions. Let's see how the female image in the style of dudes differs:

1. Colors
   . This detail in combination always acts as the main determinant of the entire direction. Typical colors are bright natural shades - yellow, red, electric blue, rich green, orange, crimson, purple and others.
2. Prints
   . Not only a monochrome design will emphasize belonging to a fashion trend, but also printed ideas. The most popular remain geometric prints - polka dots and broken stripes, as well as colorful floral abstraction.
3. Fabrics
   _ Attractiveness and expressiveness lies in the choice of material for sewing products. Feminine light and flowing fabrics - silk, cotton, satin - have become popular.

Makeup in the style of a dude

Fashionistas of the 50s and 60s were also radical in their make-up. If the majority of Soviet women preferred naturalness in their makeup, the image of a dude cannot be imagined without bright painted lips. Often this part of the face was a deep red color. However, raspberry, carrot and wine shades were also welcomed. In modern fashion, it is considered harmonious to highlight only one zone - either the eyes or the lips. The retro direction implies an emphasis on all zones. The easiest ones for the eyes were smoky eyes or black arrows. But the trend was also the use of several shadows in contrasting colors.

Accessories in the style of dudes

A stylish girl is always attractive and positive in her combination. And these features are promoted not only by clothes and shoes, but also by accessories, without which the popular bright trend is simply unthinkable. Even the most modest, so to speak, ensembles include beautiful decorative items. Current fashion jewelry in the style of dudes includes long beads of catchy colors, massive necklaces, weighty bracelets and cocktail rings. However, the choice does not end with just these accessories. Let's look at the most popular add-ons:

1. Dude style - bag
   . This detail does not come in a capacious form, but the laconicism of the design is the highlight. Hand-held minis or clutches, always contrasting in color, are considered a fashionable choice.

1. Style of dudes - decorations
   . Satin ribbons have become a fashionable addition for stylish girls, which fashionistas use instead of belts, hair ornaments or bracelets. Another typical solution is sunglasses with large frames.

1. Dude style - gloves
   . Decorative gloves made of silk, lace or leather have been and remain an attribute of the retro trend. Such accessories are not only complemented by a bright color or print, but can be decorated with bows, small flowers or have a high shape up to the elbow.

Wedding cake decoration

The main sweetness of the wedding celebration should also be decorated in a bright and unusual style. You can give free rein to your imagination and ask to use as many colored glazes of different shades as possible. For contrast, you can use a combination of layers of unusual colors, decoration with colored peas, as well as sweet figurines of the newlyweds. They must dance the dance in a costume from the era of dudes in bright colors.

A more complicated version of the cake can be a sweet vinyl record, saxophone, or tape recorder. In the case of such a design, it is important to have bright, catchy accessories. Since American culture was popular in that era, you can make the cake in the shape of a giant hamburger or cheeseburger.

Groom suit

Of course, it would be nice if the groom’s pipe trousers were also checkered. However, not every man will agree to wear such a suit.

Well, plain trousers are also good, the main thing is that they, as well as the jacket, are not dark.

But the shirt must certainly be colored, preferably bright and matching in color with the bright details of the bride’s outfit.

An obligatory detail of the groom’s suit is the famous “herring” tie, preferably orange. The groom should wear pointed patent leather shoes. If your hair allows, you can make a “cock” on your head, ala Elvis Presley.

Ideas for competitions

A dudes wedding is a real paradise for an experienced toastmaster, since here the flight of imagination in holding competitions is not limited. In the absence of the desire or finances to invite a host, the couple will be able to cope with holding competitions themselves by watching several films for inspiration that transport the viewer to that era. The following competition ideas are also suitable:

• a competition to find a stash is more suitable for a mother-in-law or a bride. A banknote is hidden in the groom's suit. The toastmaster or presenter limits the search to new funny storylines with each round;
• In the “Compliments” competition, all guests are divided into male and female teams. The main task is to please the opposing team with as many compliments as possible in the dude language;
• The Broadway Fashion Show competition is about copying the gait of dudes as accurately as possible and conveying the readiness for freedom, dancing and uncontrollable fun. The winner will be determined by general voting.

The dance of the newlyweds will be a surprise for the guests, because the classic waltz will look out of place. A simple boogie-woogie or a more complex production is sure to impress guests. You will have to take several individual lessons from professionals, but spending on lessons will pay off with positive emotions for both partners and guests. You should ask the photographer to capture the moment of the dance on a memorable video, you can even pay for it.

After the couple dances, you can invite guests to join in the fun and organize several dance competitions. There shouldn’t be any difficulties, since most will be pleased to remember their youth. For the younger generation, you can invite a trained teacher who can quickly and clearly explain the necessary movements and poses. You can ask a knowledgeable toastmaster or one of the invitees to speak as a teacher. The main task is to conduct an incendiary master class and dance a sparkling dance at the end.

Dance break and competitions

A dance break is announced to the music of Elvis Presley, Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman, Bill Haley, the Bravo group and Zhanna Aguzarova. After this, the guests sit down at the tables, and relatives and friends of the newlyweds say toasts. After 10-20 minutes the competition time is announced:

• “Hipster-Music Lover” (a competition for guessing famous melodies from the film “Hipsters”).
• “I’m Walking Down Broadway” (catwalk among men, the winner receives the title “Hipster of the Evening”).
• “The True Hipster” (participant’s task: to remember as many words as possible that the heroes of the film “Hipsters” used in their everyday life).
• “Stylish outfit” (participants are divided into pairs, given markers of different colors and white shirts, their task is to decorate the shirts, creating a stylish “outfit”).

After the competitions the presenter says:

Now let's drink again for the young people, and then dance, dance and dance again. Boogie-woogie, rock and roll and twist!!!

Next is a series of dance competitions:

• “Style 'til you drop” (dance battle to rock and roll; whoever wins will receive the title “King of Rock and Roll”).
• “Dancing with records” (participants’ task: dance in pairs, holding records between their foreheads, butts, and stomachs).
• “Boogie-woogie dance” (participants’ task: while dancing boogie-woogie, tear the newspaper into as many pieces as possible).
• “Dancing with all parts of the body” (participants’ task: sitting on a chair, dance boogie-woogie first with the whole body, then only with the legs, only with the hands, only with facial expressions).

You can also hold a musical performance: dress up guests as stylish characters so that they perform vocal and dance numbers for the newlyweds.

Next is a feast, during which you can hold a lottery. The presenter says:

Now let's hold a “Lottery from the trade union”! We take out your invitations and give them to me!

The presenter puts all the invitations, issued in the form of lottery tickets, into a box. He mixes and takes out the winning ones. You can use a variety of retro items as lots: a record, a hat, a stylish tie, etc.

The presenter says:

Now let’s, dudes, decide who will be born first to the young: a man or a girl. Prepare your maniushki!

The witness and witness collect money into two large jars tied with blue and pink ribbon. After collecting money, a bouquet is thrown: either in a standard form, or in the form of ribbons and a bouquet. After this, the groom throws the garter to the unmarried guys.

Carrying out a photo shoot with a dude

The photo shoot should convey the spirit of that time. Ideal if you can rent a studio with preserved Soviet decorations. If you want to combine a photo shoot with a banquet, it is important to take care of high-quality light and design of the photo zone. Colorful details will help to recreate the image of that era, the main thing is that the photographer is not disturbed by the light from the dance floor. It’s better not to skimp on a photographer and choose a professional who knows his business.

Shots of young people in a retro car, next to a saxophone or on a dance floor would be ideal. You can invite the bridesmaids and groomsmen into the frame, recreating shots based on the movie “Hipsters.”

If you want to surprise your invited guests, you can use not just ordinary equipment, but a special Polaroid. Or you can practice on your own in creating unique and memorable photographs under the guidance of an experienced photographer. The snapshot that appears instantly will make a lasting impression on your guests. The resulting photo cards become wonderful souvenirs for every guest.

A dudes style wedding is an exciting and fun event where there is no place for melancholy or sadness. Thanks to the abundance of incendiary music and bright colors, every guest will be transported to the era of the USSR, and adult guests will be able to plunge into childhood and youth. True, returning to ordinary, gray everyday life will be a real test for some of the invited guests after such a fun and colorful event.

Relevance of style today

The youth subculture of dudes appeared in the Soviet Union in the middle of the last century and became a kind of protest against the dull monotony of the surrounding reality. It was not just a fashion trend, but a way of life, a desire to bring a palette of bright colors into gray everyday life.

Key features of the style are expressed:

• in rich colors and contrasts;
• variety and harmonious combination of accessories;
• fluffy multi-tiered skirts;
• bright makeup;
• checkered jackets and colorful ties on men.

Although the peak of the style's popularity has already passed, it remains relevant today. Modern newlyweds often abandon the classic celebration and choose a dude wedding in a “retro” style.

Representatives of different generations will gladly take part in the festive event.

Hipsters: party script.

In order to independently organize such a party, you need to carefully prepare the event scenario and plan actions.

Party invitations.

Nowadays it is much easier to invite friends by phone, by calling or sending SMS. But it would be much more original to send each guest a postcard in the style of the 50s, indicating the name of the guest, and also coming up with an American equivalent of the name.

For example, Alexander - Alex, Natalya - Nata, Anna - Anet, etc.

Choosing a room.

What dudes can do without dancing? In order for everyone to be able to show their dancing talents, you should select a room with a large area. This may include:

• Rented assembly hall,
• The premises of the cultural center,
• Bar or pub
• Rental apartment.

Decor.

To make the chosen space emphasize the spirit of the times, decorate the walls with red curtains, hang colored ties, socks, prop records and garlands. Posters with slogans or phrases from the movie “Hipsters” will also be of interest. If you can find an antique gramophone or tape recorder with reels, they will become an excellent interior decoration. If you have financial resources, you can order light music and a performance by a jazz or rock band and invite a saxophonist.
