Styled Shoot | 70’s Outdoor Retro Wedding

May 28, 2018

The 1970’s were all about individuality, and the hippy influence found its way into many a free-spirited wedding. This outdoor retro wedding inspiration shoot has that deliciously 70’s relaxed retro vibe from bare feet to Kombi van photo booth.

A local crew of wedding vendors took to Blackwattle Farm to create an authentically retro wedding style that works beautifully for an outdoor wedding with those westival vibes. The rustic location allows plenty of space for a caravan bar and photo booth consisting of a Kombi van converted for the purpose of capturing fun photos between family and friends.

The Ceremony

A barefoot ceremony for true flower children with nothing but love to celebrate on their big day. Unique styling byThe Vintage Stockroom with rattan pieces, and asymmetrical statement arbour. Finishing it off with a pop of colour are the florals in green glass vases.

Retro Colour Palette

Inspired by the Monarch Butterfly, the team utilised a rustic warm toned colour palette from rich orange and red to rusty brown, golden and brass tones. A beautifully constructed bouquet of Dahlia’s Roses, Pussy Tails, Wheat, Gum and billy buttons by Magnolia Grove added a burst of colour to draw the eye.

Coolest of the Cool

Not your average photo booth, the converted VW Kombi brings next level coolness to the occasion. The Kombi Photo Booth has beautiful warm handcrafted timber throughout, a cushioned wooden fiver-seater bench and extra ottomans inside to fit in a few more friends, too.

The Reception

A cosy outdoor lounge area with grazing platter picnic, obviously being how most hippies-at-heart would want to spend their wedding day, was set up complete with brass bar cart for cocktails and golden velvet lounge.
