Let’s explore how you can incorporate the iconic 70s theme and style into your special day, ensuring it’s as memorable as it is fun!

The Perfect 70s Style Wedding Dress: Mina

Your wedding dress sets the tone for the theme. Mina, with its crepe and lace fitted design and detachable bishop sleeves, is the epitome of 70s style. The gown’s floral lace pattern exudes vintage vibes, making it a perfect choice for the bride seeking a blend of modern elegance and 70s flair.

Emery: Nature-Inspired Elegance

In a 70s themed wedding, embracing the era’s love for nature and organic patterns is key, and Emery gown does just that. This trumpet wedding gown, with its graceful scoop neck and delicate spaghetti straps, perfectly captures the essence of the 70s’ affinity for the natural world. The leafy patterned lace adds texture and a harmonious nod to nature, making it an ideal choice for the bride who seeks a blend of vintage charm and natural elegance.

Venue and Decor: Groovy Ambiance

Choose a venue that resonates with the 70s era, like a retro hall or an outdoor garden. Decorate with bold, psychedelic colors, and don’t shy away from incorporating iconic 70s elements like lava lamps, vinyl records, disco balls, and beaded curtains to create a truly immersive experience.

Music and Entertainment: Boogie Wonderland

Music is the heart of a 70s themed wedding. Curate a playlist filled with classic hits from the decade. Consider hiring a band that specializes in 70s music to bring some authentic disco vibes. Encourage guests to hit the dance floor and groove to the tunes of the era.

Food and Dessert Inspiration: Retro Delights

When it comes to culinary delights, a 70s themed wedding opens the door to a variety of fun and nostalgic options. Embrace the era’s iconic dishes by incorporating fondue stations, where guests can dip an assortment of fruits, breads, and meats into molten cheese or chocolate. For a main course, think about serving classic comfort foods with a gourmet twist—think updated versions of beef Wellington, quiche, or shrimp cocktail. 

Fun Additions: Glowsticks and More

To add an extra element of 70s fun, incorporate glowsticks into your wedding. They can be used as part of the decor, in centerpieces, or even as part of a fun dance-off. Glowsticks add a playful and colorful element, enhancing the 70s atmosphere. You can elevate the 70s theme by incorporating iconic disco balls into your venue decor, casting a dazzling array of lights that invite everyone to the dance floor. For an extra touch of nostalgia, consider using roller skates as fun decor items, or even encourage guests to don a pair for a unique dance experience. 

A 70s themed wedding is a fantastic way to celebrate your love with flair and fun. From the vintage charm of the Mina gown to the disco-infused reception, your wedding will be a delightful nod to the groovy 70s. Remember, planning your special day should be as fun as the theme itself!
