How to Plan a Mad Men Wedding

Posted April 3, 2012 by EmmalineBride | ♥ 11 Comments - Leave a Comment!

Boys, slick back your hair and girls, pin up that faux bob: today, we’re planning a Mad Men wedding! The new season of Mad Men is underway and since I (Emma here!) missed a few episodes along the way, I decided to re-watch season one. As a result, I’ve been in full 1960′s mode and have been dreaming of a Mad Men wedding inspiration post ever since. So, if you think a 60′s styled wedding would be swell, this post is for you… and, we think Betty Draper herself would agree. Enjoy!

Gift the groom with Mad Men inspired gifts, like these tee shirts, cufflinks, and a skinny black tie…

Instead of a traditional guest book, use a vintage typewriter…

And, this embroidery was too cute to keep to ourselves! Look at Joannie with the pen necklace… love it!

    These are such cute ideas! I’m loving the bridesmaids’ hairbows. I’m smiling just looking at the screen.
