After having the wedding of the decade, you’ll also want to exit the party in style. There is no cooler way than opting for an on-theme vintage car: not only will it be memorable, but it’s also a great way to start your journey as newlyweds.

Bride and Groom Attire

You can find fashion inspiration from any decade to create a statement look of your own. Consider flowing dresses, wide-legged trousers, or classic silhouettes that pay homage to your chosen era. Accessories play a crucial role – opt for bold statement pieces that complement the rest of the outfit.

Discoballs

With retro and nostalgia themes trending, it’s a fun decor piece to include that adds visual interest to the space and lends to the vibe of a retro-inspired wedding.

Choosing the right photography is key to all weddings, but finding one that matches your era will capture your day the way it was lived. Another fun addition to the party is a classic photobooth where guests can snap photos throughout the night. 

By incorporating these nostalgic elements into your special day, you not only create memories that will last a lifetime; you’ll also craft a celebration that stands out as a truly unique and personal expression of your love.
