Groom's wedding clothes in dude style
If everything is clear with the bride’s outfit, it’s time to think about the groom’s image. It’s good if a man agrees to try on checkered trousers. If this option is not to your liking, you can consider a plain suit. The main thing is that it is light in color.
When it comes to choosing a shirt, preference should be given to bright options. It’s great if the man’s shirt matches the bride’s shoes in color.
A herring tie will help complement the image of a stylish groom; an orange accent will come in handy.
For shoes, it is advisable to choose patent leather shoes. As for hairstyles, Elvis Presley's bob is exactly what you need.
Dress code for guests
If you want to decorate a wedding in the style of a dude, you need to think through everything down to the smallest detail. It is important to choose clothes not only for yourself, but also for your guests. Surely, not everyone has similar things in their closet, but you still need to maintain a unity of style.

Dancing
The highlight of any wedding is the wedding dance of the newlyweds. The Hipsters theme gives the couple incredible freedom of action. The dance can simply be slow, to a melodic romantic composition by Elvis Presley.
Also, newlyweds can learn a fiery dance in the style of boogie-woogie, twist, rock and roll, something fast, reckless, with the bride being thrown into the air. You can surprise your guests with a large-scale number by involving your most loyal friends.
The rest of the guests should not sit still on such an evening either. Real dudes dance until they drop. If there are doubts that all those invited will cope with this task, you can invite a dance instructor, let him teach the most popular movements to those who do not shine with dancing talents. This will become a separate entertainment.
Since we are talking about dancing, we need to discuss the musical design. Of course, jazz and rock and roll should sound. It will sound best performed live. Now there are many groups specializing in performing stylish hits.
Everything is in order
A wedding in the style of a dude should take place according to a certain scenario. The event includes a ransom, a visit to the registry office, and a ceremonial part.
The ransom can be played out in an interesting way. Why not arrange a meeting of the party committee, where assessors will interrogate the groom, asking him tricky questions.
While waiting for the newlyweds from the registry office, guests can arrange a dance battle. Such an event will be especially relevant in the spring. Girls and boys will be able to have fun and dance right on the street.
Who is it suitable for?
The unique fashion trends of the retro era are aimed at the younger generation who want to stand out from the crowd. Despite the original design of the clothes, the cut is characterized by simplicity and uncomplicatedness. These qualities make a 60s style wedding dress universal and loved by girls of different body shapes.
This outfit looks best on slender brides of average height, like an hourglass. All the advantages of the figure are favorably presented thanks to the tight corset, highlighted waist and fluffy short skirt.
On a note! A high waistband and wide hem perfectly hide a pregnant belly or full hips. By the way, suitable outfits for plump beauties are described here.
Open shoulders and legs mask minor imperfections in the “inverted triangle” type of physique.
Room decoration
If the newlyweds decide to celebrate their wedding in dude style, special attention should be paid to the decoration of the hall. From the photo you can get acquainted with interesting ideas. The celebration should reflect the love of life, mobility, and playfulness. These are the traits that active people have.
You can celebrate the holiday in any room. This can be not only a restaurant, but also a large apartment. If the celebration is planned for the summer, an outdoor party will be very useful.
Regardless of the location of the celebration, special attention should be paid to the decorations. What subjects are required:
- gramophone;
- old records;
- drum telephone;
- posters with party slogans;
- flags of countries included in the union;
- disco ball;

An idea that guests will be delighted with is serving dishes in Soviet dishes. Faceted glasses will also come in handy.
Note!
The hall should be spacious. In addition to all the decorations, it is necessary to install a stage in the room.
The place for newlyweds is usually decorated with an arch decorated with bright ribbons and balls. The tablecloth on the table should be plain. Such decorations will cheer up the newlyweds even in the fall.
Bride's dress and hairstyle
The bride in a “stylish” dress looks surprisingly feminine and most like a princess who ran away from the palace in search of adventure, as the heroine of “Roman Holiday” did.
The dress should be fitted: the bodice should be tight-fitting, the skirt should be fluffy, flared, with a starch cambric or nylon cover. The number of petticoats is limited only by common sense: two or three will be just right.
The dress can be as bright as you like. Large polka dots are also welcome.
If the bride prefers white, it needs to be set off with a bright detail: for example, a satin belt and a frill of the same color at the bottom of the skirt. The bright silk edge of the underskirt, protruding several centimeters from under the upper, looks impressive.
A characteristic sign of the times is a satin belt tied at the back with a large flat bow. Depending on the wishes of the bride, the dress can be knee-length, mid-calf or ankle-length. You need to wear gloves with this dress.
It is better to choose large jewelry: artificial pearls or semi-precious stones.
The hairstyle should be neat: various buns and “babette” are welcome. Loose hair can be gathered into a ponytail, wrapped in large curlers.
In the days of dudes, satin headbands were extremely fashionable, which were worn not on the forehead, but on the middle of the head. This bandage will replace a wreath. The veil should be fastened low, under the bun or babette.
High-heeled shoes and stockings with arrows will complement the outfit. Short white socks look romantic and touching.
The bride's makeup (more about makeup) should correspond to the time: bright red lipstick and black eyeliner are a must.
For the bride's bouquet, it is better to choose bright flowers: gerberas, phlox, asters.
Registration area
When decorating a hall, newlyweds need to take many little things into account. As for the registration area. At a dudes party, an outdoor ceremony is welcome; painting in the registry office will not be able to convey the desired atmosphere. Therefore, it is advisable to plan the celebration for the warm season; spring will be a good choice.
The botanical garden and the shore of a reservoir are a wonderful backdrop for registration. In this case, it is not necessary to install vintage arches. A small podium, chairs for guests, bright balloons and ribbons - all this will fit perfectly into the concept of the holiday. Even in autumn such decorations will be appropriate.
Decor
Rare objects can convey the stylish atmosphere in the hall: old telephones, cameras, gramophones, posters and flags from the times of the USSR, disco balls, records, typewriters, old photographs of idols of those times or models, colored fabrics of all colors - in general, absolutely everything, which may remind you of those years. An excellent example for finding inspiration in choosing individual decor for a celebration is the movie “Hipsters.” You can hang quotes and sayings from the film, or ideological phrases, on the walls, for example:
- “Hey dudes - hello! We are slithering along the Ford, leaving the sad rednecks behind..."
- "Bound by one chain, bound by one goal..."

Invitations
