Orbit In.
Once your guests are sure you didn't misspell this hotel's name on the invitation, they can loosen up and enjoy a poolside reception at this gem of midcentury architecture in Palm Springs. During your stay, take advantage of their retro cruiser bikes to tour the town — or use them to make your grand exit at the end of your reception. (760) 323-3585.

Ballantine's.
As kitchy as they come, this boutique hotel has 14 rooms themed in 1950s campyness. Some have private patios and kitchenettes, with décor ranging from surf’s up to pretty in pink. The whole property is a time warp of period furnishings, old Hollywood, and retro cocktail culture, all revolving around an aqua pool and blue, astroturf sundeck. Up to 50 guests can don Hawaiian shirts and full-skirted sundresses for a sunset wedding and casual BBQ. Bring your bikini for the after-hours party! (800) 485-2808.

Mojave Resort.
Okay, it’s actually pre-midcentury (as in, the 1940s) at this hideaway in Palm Desert, but it will charm the pants off you and your guests all the same. This retro-chic boutique hotel with just 24 rooms and suites has a casual, old-fashioned feel when everyone gathers in the courtyard with fruit trees and a gazebo. Overnight guests wake to breakfast by the pool then can walk a couple blocks to shop on El Paseo. (800) 391-1104.
