1. Modern Greenery

Perhaps one of the easiest ways to refresh your wedding with mid-century modern style is by adding modern greenery. You can offer your wedding trendy, outdoorsy vibes by scattering broad leaves, textured ferns, and potted fiddle-leaf fig trees among your wedding’s floral design! A greenery-forward design can be used in everything from your bouquets to your lounge areas, so speak to your florist about this easily-achieved trend.

Couples planning modern weddings usually strive for minimalist decor vibes, but in order to achieve mid-century modern wedding style, an extra element of flair is needed to convey the trend.

3. Tea-Length Wedding Dresses

As you’ve probably gathered from its name, mid-century modern pulls a lot of inspiration from retro 1950s and 1960s styles. If you want to go the extra length to convey this trend, consider wearing a tea-length wedding dress! There’s nothing quite as elegant and cool as a tea-length dress’s shorter hemline, plus it would be the ultimate style statement that ties together your wedding’s mid-century modern wedding decor.

6. Retro Mixed Seating

The key to channeling mid-century modern vibes is to combine old and new decor elements. What better way to convey this than with retro mixed seating? You can achieve this look by using mixed ceremony and reception seating, such as long benches mixed with chairs, lounge pillows, and poufs, or setting up a reception lounge area where you can let your creative side go wild! If you’d love to incorporate this style but your venue only offers one type of chair, consider hiring a vintage rental company to help you mix up your seating options.
