It\u2019s so easy to get caught up in the details\u2014fun flapper headbands for your bridesmaids for a Roaring \u201820s wedding; skinny neon ties for an \u201880s celebration, a disco band for a \u201870s soiree\u2014but how do you prevent it from becoming a total theme night? Remember, the wedding isn\u2019t so much about the theme as it is about you and your new spouse. Here\u2019s a guide for those who want to tip their hat to a specific decade, rather than completely dive into it.THINK INSPIRED, NOT INDULGEDOne way to avoid a total theme night is to be inspired rather than completely indulge. Think of using a color palette from your desired era, a dress style for you and your attendants, fun favors (like mixed tapes for an \u201880s wedding). This way, you\u2019re still acknowledging the theme without feeling like you\u2019re participating in a school spirit week day.FOCUS ON ONE PART OF THE DECADEA decade is 10 years\u2014that\u2019s a lot to cover! Many couples get lost in trying to encompass the whole era in one day, which can be overwhelming. Try picking one aspect of the decade, like early \u201860s sophistication or the hippie aesthetic of the late \u201860s.\u00a0DON\u2019T WORRY ABOUT ANACHORNISMSIt\u2019s darn near impossible to get every detail exactly right. You have enough to worry about on your big day, don\u2019t stress because you have something from 1965 in decor that\u2019s drawing inspiration from 1963. Remember, this is your wedding, not a vintage trade show. The important thing is for you and your guests to have fun!\u00a0Photo: tiedphotography.com; twigsandhoney.com; projectwedding.com; sandersonimages.com"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"How to Pull Off a Retro-Inspired Wedding","item":"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/how-to-pull-off-a-retro-inspired-wedding\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
