Across the nation, more and more couples are moving away from stuffy, expensive weddings and toward something a little more casual.
In these strapped and lightning-fast times, it's no surprise that couples are yearning for nostalgia and fun.
Looking to capture rustic, American whimsy, many couples are turning toward the age-old classic: Coca-Cola.
"It starts with the basic premise of Coca-Cola belongs wherever people gather," says Coke archivist Ted Ryan. "It's such a natural companion to any special event."
Maybe it's the bright red label or the sleek glass bottles, but something about this simple design sparks so much emotion in the hearts of Americans.
And because Coke is everywhere — antique stores, malls, yard sales, supermarkets — it's a relatively easy theme to pull off.
It just requires some imagination and creativity!
Even if it doesn't have the Coke label, the theme is easy to replicate with the right colors and patterns.
Some red candy, striped straws, or polka-dotted ribbons are all it takes to evoke the classic Coke feeling.
Mix it with an old-timey carnival or a 1950s diner theme and you can stretch the aesthetic beyond a simple can or bottle.
And when it comes to food, chocolate is perfect. Not only is it yummy, but it's the perfect companion for dark brown soda.
Forget stuffy, refined foods! It's your special day. Why not make it fun?
Offer your guests a plate of macarons or a tower of little cupcakes.
Dining with family after becoming man and wife is supposed to be an intimate, joyous occasion. Forget fancy tablecloths and use an old Coke tin for centerpieces.
Vintage tin trays perfectly capture the theme. They can be used as decoration or for serving.
