Adding retro elements to your wedding can evoke a charming sense of nostalgia and pay homage to beloved styles of the past. Start with a vintage- inspired gown with a silhouette that reflects a bygone era, created with feminine details like lace, bows or tulle. Consider incorporating a handed- down veil or headpiece, along with timeless accents such as long gloves and pearl jewelry.
Extend the retro vibe to the decor with era-specific colors – jewel tones for a 1920s look, soft pastels for a 1950s theme, or bold, funky combinations for a 1970s aesthetic. Vintage furniture, mismatched china and nostalgic lighting can further set the scene. And, ask your photographer to capture some vintage-style photos to remember the day in retro elegance for decades to come.
