For this theme, as previously stated, I'd think Americana, and the birth of Rock 'n' Roll. Think of the old-fashioned soda shops of the 50s, the 40s bebop era; Page, Monroe, Cash, Dean, and Presley. Black and white checks emulating the iconic racing flag, red, and polka dots are a great place to start.
A few ideas for the invitation:

For the bouquet, you may opt for fun or a more traditional approach. For example:
This VegasBaby bouquet on Folksy, isn't available, but I find the look very inspiring; you can DIY.
This bouquet, artist unknown, is also very creative.

For the bridesmaid, I will go over three themes. The first is the traditional pinup doll, second, sailor babe, and last, Hispanic influenced. For these looks, my personal preference is the A-line skirt and petticoat. You may also like the streamlined pencil-skirt, or wiggle dress.
