{Wedding Eras} 1970's. The Traveler/Disco Bride

Welcome to the 1970's. As we have been traveling through the decades of wedding eras, we have landed on a decade that many can remember as their own special decade.

Fashion moved in many different directions, from the maxi dress one day to the mini skirt the other, fashion trends became broader. Women focused on their "own fashion personality". Influences from other ethnic cultures became more apparent in US fashion as travel was made easier and new fashion trends were brought back into the States. It was the age of the hippie and the disco ball. Bell bottoms, caftans, platform shoes, and peasant dresses were popular trends at the time (you'd like to forget those... wouldn't you? ?) and translate right into the bridal market.

Bridal fashion was romantic with lace accents and almost medieval influences. Dust ruffles along the edges of gowns and lace bibs were popular elements of wedding gowns. Towards the end of the decade wedding gowns became more fluid as stretch polyester fabric became popular.

True to form, here is a real 1970's wedding from me (Katey, Blog-extraordinaire for MEG Jewelry) of my lovely parents wedding! And let's not for get the men's colored tuxedos....

1970's Wedding of Jim & Holly

Your 1970's MEG Jewelry choices are all about accessorizing the hair. Long sleeves and high necklines made it hard to wear necklaces/bracelets, yet flowers in the hair? Very 1970's!
