THE GROOVY ERA OF WEDDING FLOWERS

The 1970s were a time of self-expression, free-spirited celebrations, and bold floral choices. Weddings in this era embraced natural beauty, earthy tones, and oversized arrangements that captured the essence of romance and rebellion. At Stem Design, we love drawing inspiration from the past to create stunning floral arrangements for modern weddings in Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

ICONIC 70S WEDDING FLORAL TRENDS

1. CASCADE BOUQUETS:
   • The dramatic, trailing floral arrangements were a must-have for 70s brides.
   • Popular flowers included roses, orchids, baby’s breath, and ivy to create a flowing, organic look.
2. WILD & FREE BOHEMIAN ARRANGEMENTS:
   • Loose, unstructured bouquets with a mix of fresh and dried flowers defined the boho-chic aesthetic.
   • Think daisies, sunflowers, pampas grass, and wildflowers, evoking a natural and effortless feel.
3. EARTHY COLOR PALETTES:
   • Muted tones of burnt orange, mustard yellow, deep greens, and warm browns reflected the decade’s earthy vibes.
   • Flowers like marigolds, chrysanthemums, and carnations were commonly used to enhance this vintage aesthetic.
4. FLORAL CROWNS & HEADPIECES:
   • Many brides opted for delicate flower crowns over traditional veils, adding a whimsical, ethereal touch.
   • Baby’s breath, daisies, and tiny roses were the go-to blooms for these timeless accessories.
5. TALL TABLE ARRANGEMENTS & HANGING INSTALLATIONS:
   • Centerpieces were extravagant, featuring tall vases filled with lush blooms or hanging floral installations.
   • Macramé plant hangers and floral chandeliers became popular additions to wedding decor.

HOW TO INCORPORATE 70S FLORAL TRENDS INTO YOUR MODERN WEDDING

• Opt for a Cascade Bouquet: A vintage-inspired cascading bouquet adds a touch of retro glamour.
• Embrace Dried & Fresh Flower Combinations: Pampas grass, wheat, and dried florals mixed with fresh blooms create a nostalgic yet modern look.
• Choose Retro Color Palettes: Warm oranges, yellows, and earthy greens will bring 70s charm to your floral decor.
• Add Bohemian Floral Crowns: Perfect for a laid-back, outdoor wedding with a free-spirited vibe.
• Go for Statement Centerpieces: Whether it’s tall floral arrangements or hanging floral displays, bigger is better for a 70s-inspired wedding.
