This should be an interesting one!
This should be an interesting wedding, especially in a park - if weather is nice, should be a great one.

I have 2 - 9 yr. old great GD's & their friends who are really into the "peace" symbols & colors - since I'm 77, I think it is hilarious - they say everything (styles, etc) come around again. :lol:

Have a blessed week end

Reminds me of the early 70's, at a rest stop. A VW bus orange with flowers painted all over it, girls in long skirts and scarves on their heads over long hair, sandals on their feet in the bathroom
floor washing their dishes before continuing their trip to ?,
maybe Calif. My mother-in-laws eyes bugged out, she was from a small town in La, on her first big trip to Calif. :lol: :lol:

First thing I thought of was a quilt made with VW busses. I remember seeing a few years ago. Tye-dyed fabric, or even the beatles fabric. Groovy man! lol the memories...what I wouldn't give for some Peter Maxx designed fabric!

Bell bottoms and Nehru jackets. Bushy hair and a LOT of face fuzz for the guys. Round eye glasses. Denim skirts made from jeans with the inside seams cut open and with added fabric, sometimes with huge flowers. Females with long, drooping hair and long bangs. Earth shoes or flip flops. Or heavy boots for either males or females. Strings and strings of multi colored beads. At least one huge peace sign on a leathr strip, dangling from an unwashed neck, male or female.
You forgot the bell-bottom pants!

Something with peace signs would be fun for a hippie wedding, also any fabric that has words about love, peace, etc. Can't wait to see it done, so please post pics.
