Hangar Dance ~ 1940 style!

My hubby and I attended a Hangar Dance this past weekend that was so fun! Dear hubby is a member of the St. Augustine Airport Pilots Association and we attend their quarterly dinners, meetings, etc. It is mostly a social group of men (with a few women) who LOVE to fly. And, yes, dear hubby and I often fly...in a tiny airplane...and we've taken Domino with us before! She LOVES to go flying. I would almost say that Domino loves it more than I do. Okay, back on topic.

So, we attended this hangar dance so we could see our dear friends, chit chat about flying, and eat some good food. Well, little did I know I would be blogging about it! You see, this was a really FANTASTIC party. And, it was reasonable in cost to throw. The tickets were designed after WWII ration tickets (invitations) and we received dog tags (favors-HOW CUTE?!) when we walked in the door.





The venue was decorated with parachutes hanging from the ceiling, they drove in an old military jeep and parked a plane in the hangar.

It was really quite awe-inspiring. LOOK AT THAT SUNSET!



And, of course, my little head started clicking....I'm thinking what a great theme for a wedding reception! Imagine the creativity behind this type of event. It's definitely NOT cookie cutter... A good wedding coordinator and decorator could soften it up a bit and it would be a beautiful wedding reception theme.

If your hubby to be is in the military, it could tie in with a military inspired wedding ceremony. I know one couple who actually entered their reception under a sword-canopy. I'm not sure of the technical term for it, but something like that would definitely contribute to this feeling! This would also be perfect for a wedding anniversary party or a birthday party. Or, just to have a party!

And, of course, the music was amazing. The Clay County Community Band's swing ensemble performed. What a wonderful night. A great time was had by all. {{sigh}}
