The iconic fashions, the infectious grooves, the galaxy of glitterballs – the ‘70s disco era makes an irresistible wedding theme for a party-loving pair. In this styled shoot, a tipi from World Inspired Tents makes a coolly laidback setting for a retro celebration, the warm hues of the canvas perfectly in keeping with the ‘70s colour palette of brown, rust, gold and mustard, interspersed with hues of pink and maroon.
The rich colours carry from the flowers adorning the wooden ceremony backdrop to the tables styled with a glorious array of textures: think rattan, wood and stoneware with light-catching brass accents and amber and pink glassware. The palette and retro patterns of the stationery brilliantly capture ‘70s style, as does the smooth contours, bold design and striking petals of the cake.
Then there’s the fashion. An extravagant confection of ruffles, the tulle dress by Millia London exudes the playful vibe, while the sleek jumpsuit and bohemian gown adorned with tassels, lace and angel sleeves – both handcrafted in Devon by Dandelions & Pearls – encapsulate the ‘70s in head-turning style. Add an embroidered fedora, a stunning mother of pearl crown and, of course, some disco sparkle on the eyes – and you have one party-ready bridal look. Completing the scene, the bridesmaid dons a gorgeous warm orange dress while the groom looks every inch the retro-cool man of the moment in a sharp maroon suit, bold print and tasselled loafers. A party to remember begins here!
