Concert themed wedding?

All things Wedding seem to be geared toward the uber girly girl bride. Forget that groom! He's done his part with the asking, now it's time for the brides part with the planning. And it's all frilly and girly and pretty. It makes me sick! My point is I've been having a hard time finding ANYTHING...

My point is I've been having a hard time finding ANYTHING that fits our style. I finally found the perfect invitations. Custom concert tickets! (Sweet!) And since we are having our reception on a separate day we have to send invites for that too and we decided to stick with the concert theme and make some Concert Poster style invites. And since the invitations are the gateway to the event I was wondering if we should bleed the theme over into other aspects of the wedding?? Like the cake, decorations, gown(?), tux, favors etc... What ways can I do that so it's not overwhelming or tacky? What ways can I do it so it's not expensive? Maybe some DIY stuff? Any suggestions?

    Just a thought but we had a friend that did a concert theme as well. She had her wedding and reception at a local concert venue. It turned out amazing. She even had a place to play guitar hero where it was projected on the wall. It was a great time. The lighting was definitely key to pulling the event off. She called it the Ball & Chain tour LOL and made posters for the "after party" it was cute Smiley smile Hope that helped a little.

    Wow you guys are all so creative!!!! I think many ideas on here are awesome. My only concern is that somewhere around the middle of the thread i began picturing more of a Sweet 16 or BatMitzvah scene. IMHO I think you can pull off a theme wedding like this with many of the above mentioned details but I'd just be careful to not make it too young feeling. Don't at all mean to sound negative. I'm an "over the top person" at heart, but sometimes I just go one step too far and it falls flat like a house of cards.

    I'm dying to see the pics!!

    Have you ever seen those bowls made out of warped old records? You could maybe use them as centerpieces to hold flowers or favors.

    Having our ceremony and reception at a small venue concert hall would be awesome! But I already paid for the reception hall. Smiley sad I don't want it to "feel" like a concert though... I still want it to have a wedding feel with concert undertones. (Sounds like I'm talking about wine, or something.) Maybe for our 10 year anniversary party we can go all out on the concert theme at a small concert venue! *girly squeals* That sounds like so much fun!

    We are definitely doing the record center pieces, but we are going to print out copies of album art from our fave bands and cut them to fit the center of the records. It'll look like we own records of bands like Hurt Vol II and Nine Inch Nails With Teeth. Awesome!

    Thanks again, everyone, for the great ideas!

    I hope this isn't going too far but you could also do glow sticks/necklaces etc. as party favors. I don't know of any sites that will print your names and wedding site but here a glow stick wholesale site! http://www.extremeglow.com/

    Ok... so I came across this video and I remembered your concert theme and thought you should see this video. It's a pretty fantastic entrance.
