60’s Transport 

Hiring a beautiful car to transport the bride to the wedding and the happy newly-weds to the reception, from englishweddingcars.com is a truly memorable way to create an entrance (and an exit) on your special day. From pure white VW Beetles to classic S-Type Jaguars and Aston Martins, arriving at your wedding in an authentic 1960’s motorcar will be a spectacular and utterly memorable start to your special day. 

60’s Music 

The 1960s were the most fabulous era for powerful love songs, groovy dance tunes, and feel-good anthems, and is the most perfect decade in which to stage the greatest day of your life. Hiring a 1960’s wedding band for your reception will get guests out of their chairs and moving and grooving on the dancefloor, right through the generations. 

Your first dance should be an absolute ‘60s belter. From Percy Sledge’s ‘When A Man Loves A Woman’ to Frankie Valli’s ‘Can’t Take My Eyes Off You’, sharing your first dance as a married couple with your soul mate will be made even more special to the tune of a 1960’s anthem. Songs guaranteed to get everyone up on the dancefloor such as The Temptations ‘My Girl’ and Neil Diamond’s ‘Sweet Caroline’ are an absolute must. 

60’s Decoration

Bridal bouquets and flower displays should be full of wildflowers and daisies and, for a true ‘60s vibe, consider daisy chain flower crowns for the bride and bridal party. Your groomsmen can proudly represent the greatest decade by sporting similar wildflower creations in their buttonholes. Kitsch, colorful table centerpieces consisting of authentic 1960’s props will bring a real sense of authenticity to the event. Consider personalizing your special day with photographs decorating the reception venue and adding a vintage glow to each, using brighter lighting elements, which will make your photographs authentically pop. For a true ‘60s vibe, wedding invitations in the design of vinyl records will make the wedding guests aware of the spectacular day ahead right from the start. 

60’s Fashion

The 1960s were a sensational, stylish, youthful, and glamorous time and the fashions were bold, bright, fun, and truly eclectic. Vibrant fabrics and iconic styling aplenty, shorter wedding gowns really convey the 1960’s vibe you are after. Round necks are the epitome of ‘60s style wedding dresses and teamed with a boxy bridal handbag, a brightly colored patent waist belt, a matching headband and a pair of satin peep-toe heels makes for the perfect 1960’s bridal aesthetic. 

Scatter bowls of retro 1960’s sweets and chocolates on the tables, in the bar area, and dancefloor to provide your wedding guests with a sweet taste of the fabulous and truly unique decade that was the 1960’s.
