Welcome to the whimsical world of 70’s style . Hippie has hit the high street with a bang ahead of autumn. Fringing, palazzo pants, tan-coloured suede and floaty sleeves are only dying to get back in our closets.
To coincide with next season’s biggest trend, we decided to take a trip down memory lane and give you the inside scoop in boho chic wedding inspiration.
It’s a Love Story
It’s time to pull out your parents’ 70’s wedding album and get your creativity cap on. Seventies-style wedding dresses were all about romanticism.
Wild floral headbands teamed with embroidered fabric and flowing sleeves add to the drama of this Romeo & Juliette-esque love theme.
Take inspiration from nature’s child and choose a dress that embraces your femininity yet stays true to earthy, organic elements.
Beyond The Fringe
The Farrah Fawcett Flick was the call of the day for 70’s tresses. If full-on Farrah style is too free-spirited for your liking, take a more modern approach by flicking the front of the hair and letting the rest fall naturally.
Another option is to tame your mane with a wildflower crown or embellished lace headband.
Our hair envy of the 70’s doesn’t end there.
If you had a serious case of American Hustle fever then the big-booty bouffant is perfect to complete your 70’s wedding style.
The key to creating the sexy bouffant is to backcomb and tease your locks to create a retro vintage vibe.
Get Me To The Church On Time
Start as you mean to go on and arrive at your wedding in style. Take inspiration from the Mystery Machine and wow your guests courtesy of Scooby Doo. If you can’t get your hands on a vintage Chevy van, a colourful VW will also act as a quirky backdrop for some of your wedding snaps.
We don’t know about you but we always wanted a spin in The Brady Bunch family station wagon! Don your hire car with wildflowers and streamers to really capture your free spirit theme.
Chic Centrepieces
The fun really starts in this section of your wedding planning. There are countless colour schemes and styles to take inspiration from when choosing your 70’s chic centrepieces.
Release your inner prairie child with paisley and ditsy floral print table cloths. Team with vintage mismatched cutlery and tableware to achieve your 70’s American dream.
If you are gadget and music mad, vintage vinyl records and Polaroid camera centrepieces are a great way to showcase your personality. Whether you are a die-hard fan of The Rolling Stones, The Bee Gees or The Beatles, guests can get a glimpse as to what you enjoy together as a couple.
Hippie Hang Outs
To finish off your throwback theme, make sure your wedding venue sets up a quirky relaxation area with a 70’s vibe for your guests. After all the chaos and excitement of the day, a boho chill-out zone will be just what you need.
