The 70s were a time of bohemian freedom, eclectic style, and unforgettable music, making it a fantastic theme for couples who want a wedding that feels both timeless and unique. A 70s-inspired wedding is perfect for those who love earthy tones, vintage flair, and a relaxed, retro vibe. Here’s how to bring this iconic decade to life on your wedding day!
Setting the Scene with 70s-Inspired Colors
The 70s palette is all about warmth and earthiness. Think deep oranges, mustard yellows, olive greens, and browns, along with pops of burnt red and blush. Use these tones throughout your wedding, from the bridesmaids' dresses to table linens, florals, and even stationery. These colors add an inviting and nostalgic feel that’s perfect for a bohemian-inspired celebration.
Vintage-Inspired Wedding Attire
For a 70s-inspired bridal look, consider a flowy, lace wedding dress with bell sleeves or a high neck for vintage charm. Add a floral crown or headband to complete the boho vibe. Grooms can go for a fitted brown or tan suit paired with a colorful tie, or even a patterned vest for a touch of retro flair. Bridesmaids in flowy maxi dresses with floral or paisley prints look beautifully cohesive and totally on-theme.
Decor & Venue: Embracing Boho Vibes
Set the stage with a venue that has natural charm, like a meadow, garden, or rustic barn, and fill the space with boho touches. Macramé wall hangings, wicker and rattan seating, and vintage rugs will add to the nostalgic vibe. Mix dried flowers with lush greenery for table centerpieces, and use vintage lanterns or fairy lights to create a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. Think eclectic, earthy, and free-spirited. We love how this wedding pulls in some disco balls and shimmering materials for a fun eye-catching backdrop.
70s-Inspired Flowers & Greenery
The 70s wedding theme pairs perfectly with wildflower-inspired arrangements. Choose blooms like daisies, baby’s breath, sunflowers, and pampas grass for bouquets and centerpieces. Dried flowers add a natural, vintage feel and are easy to mix and match for a beautiful bohemian look. Use mismatched vases or jars for a more eclectic arrangement that feels authentically retro.
Reception Details & Groovy Music Playlist
Add a retro lounge area with vintage chairs, tapestries, and even a few records on display to give guests a comfortable and nostalgic place to relax. For a fun activity, consider a DIY tie-dye station or a photo booth with 70s props like peace signs and funky hats. When it’s time to dance, curate a playlist filled with 70s hits—from Fleetwood Mac to The Rolling Stones—that will bring everyone to the dance floor. It’s a great way to keep the energy high and bring the spirit of the 70s to your reception!
A 70s-inspired wedding brings together all the elements of retro charm, bohemian style, and laid-back elegance, making it a truly unique way to celebrate love. With its warm color palette, vintage decor, and nostalgic details, your wedding will be a groovy, one-of-a-kind celebration that everyone will remember. Whether you’re all about disco or a free-spirited vibe, a 70s theme sets the perfect tone for a day filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories."
