Laura & Stephen’s retro jazz wedding

We love our retro weddings, and this jazz and vintage-inspired wedding kicks ass. Some of the details included a tattooed and victory-rolled bride (with two dresses!), a groom with an epic ‘stache, and super fun details (like the lollipop bouquets). Though there was a snafu with the first band, the final band rocked the crowd with jazz and swing.

Tarryn & Dylan’s rock ‘n’ roll retro wedding

This couple had a 2013 wedding date, but after nine years of dating, they said to hell with waiting, let’s get hitched! Three months later they had booked a cool vintage-style restaurant and their nearest and dearest watched them get married in a most excellent retro rock ‘n’ roll fashion. They may not have remembered to get themselves fed on the day, but they did not forget to bring the style!

Dina & Travis’ Bruce Campbell-loving ’90s mohawked wedding

Bruce Campbell movie poster centerpieces, a fabulously retro laser photo backdrop, ’90s alternative rock, and the groom’s epic four-inch mohawk (and accompanying MOHAWK WIGS) — these people know how to do ’90s retro right! Add in their Azkaban place cards, Time Warp dance, and dad’s serenade, and I’m hooked. You will be too.
