What did people wear to weddings in the 70s?
Weddings in the 1970s were all about individuality and relaxed style. Brides wore flowing boho dresses with lace, bell sleeves, and sometimes wide-brimmed hats or flower crowns. Grooms often chose wide-lapel suits in bold colours like powder blue or brown, paired with frilly shirts and bow ties. Guests embraced maxi dresses, bold prints, jumpsuits, and platform shoes, while disco-inspired metallics and natural hair and makeup completed the free-spirited vibe.

What was the top wedding song in 1970?
The top wedding song in 1970 was “We’ve Only Just Begun” by The Carpenters.
With its tender lyrics and soft melody, it quickly became a favourite for first dances and remains a classic romantic anthem for weddings even today.
