Groom's outfit
First of all, the outfits should relate to the fashion of the 90s. The groom may have a classic-cut suit, a tie and, of course, cufflinks. Also suede shoes.
Or you can choose the image of the groom in a crimson jacket with a massive chain or even a tracksuit.
Buying a dress
If you're determined to dress in 90s wedding chic, you're going to have to put some effort into finding an outfit. You can buy a wedding dress “from the past” in a bridal salon or search on the Internet.
An excellent option is to sew a custom-made outfit according to your own design, choosing the most successful style with the craftsmen. It will take much longer, but you will have an exclusive model.
You can also rent wedding dresses. Sometimes in such places you can find real masterpieces of wedding fashion. In addition, this service will significantly save the budget of the newlyweds.
Bride's image
It is better to choose a classic fluffy dress for the bride. The wedding dress must be white. At that time, dresses of other shades were practically not common. Shoes with narrow and long toes may have gone out of fashion, but the style of the past requires sacrifice.
The bride's head should certainly be decorated with an intricate hairstyle or bouffant with a lot of varnish, and of course - a veil.
Hair can be tied back with pins and bobby pins, and thin strands can be left in front around the face.
The lifting of bans caused an unprecedented surge of creativity in 90s wedding fashion
At that time, there were no innovative fabrics or new sewing technologies, but there was room for imagination. And the girls wanted to look so that everyone would remember them. Along with traditional (away from the cities) outfits, new fashion trends appeared, which were snatched from Western catwalks, creating their own outfits, sometimes very frightening in appearance:
- Rainbow tight leggings framed colorful rags, which were crowned with a white veil, a symbol of virginity;
- Brides wrapped themselves in gauze, which was tinted with iodine and brilliant green, depicting the minimalism that was fashionable in the West at that time;
- A thick white nightgown, casually thrown over her shoulders, demonstrated the bride’s commitment to complete freedom;
- The “Rave” and “Neon” styles have finally turned the bride into a clown who glows brightly and does not in any way correspond to the status of the wife.
All this fashionable foam of the early 90s subsided as quickly as it arose. “Sporty chic” lasted a little longer, from which the bride’s dress got a very short skirt, acid-colored top, high (sports) platform shoes and a veil, usually casually fastened to the shoulder.
Where to mark
To organize a wedding in the style of the nineties, you need to think about the venue. This could be a restaurant, cafe, house party or even an outdoor wedding. The room should not be decorated with luxurious furniture, a crystal chandelier or other excesses. Everything was much simpler. The furniture is ordinary, chairs without covers, simple, made of wood, with comfortable seats and straight backs. You can use benches instead of chairs.
Wedding dresses of the 90s: photos
Wedding dresses of 1990 are all about tradition and outrageousness, the desire to stand out. On the catwalks, famous couturiers demonstrated charming dresses for brides, long and short, satin and lace.
An era of change came to the USSR with deficits and coupons. Most ready-to-wear clothing consisted of an opaque base and a cloud of tulle skirts and frills. Accessories - hats, veils made of satin and lace fabrics, also lavishly decorated with tulle, guipure, and embroidery.
However, even then, brides were looking for their own image: they complemented their dresses with belts, floral decorations, ribbons, sewed to order, having difficulty finding the right fabrics and accessories.
How to apply
The main requirement for the design of the room is no sophistication. Subtle colors were used. But still, the obligatory attributes of the decor of the 90s were: a lot of multi-colored balloons, congratulatory garlands and posters.
Photos from those times will look good. Your parents probably have plenty of them left. You can also ask guests to look for interesting photos. Frame them and hang them on the walls of the hall.
In vases under the posters or on everyone’s plate, you can put a new product of this period - “Love is...” chewing gum.
The music will be provided by a cassette recorder. Playing cassettes on it with recordings of famous groups of those times (“Ivanushki International”, “Tender May”, “Hands Up”, “Ace of Base” and so on) will create the necessary atmosphere for the celebration. The music that reigned in this era was quite dynamic, so you can be completely confident in the drive and success of the upcoming event.
Transport
You can drive up to a wedding in the style of the 90s both in a domestic VAZ nine and in used foreign cars: Passats, Behies and Mercs. Decorate your car with balloons, dolls and ribbons. As a finishing touch, turn up the volume on 90's music.
What dress styles look like today in the style of 70-90
Retro dresses have been slightly modified to suit modern realities. Vintage clothing is currently popular among brides who want to stand out at their reception.
In order to embody a retro idea, you should know what accessories and outfits you can use to create a complete look.
70s style
The bride of that time: what is she like? First of all, she is a very modest, romantic and gentle young lady. The hippie style firmly entered the fashion catwalks of those times.
Wedding dresses are usually worn from a variety of materials and colors. As for colors, you can choose a look with a small flower, polka dots or a simple pattern. Moreover, the details on the outfit should not be too bright and attract attention. Their goal is to emphasize the elegance of the outfit.

Under no circumstances should you place bright accents in your image. To make the bride more romantic, you can add a wreath of flowers or beads on her head. Currently, the style of the 70s is called boho or rustic.
These are the most fashionable and popular trends in wedding style. Natural naturalness and genuineness - these are the elements that were taken as the basis for the whole image.
The style of wedding dress of that time was:
- Straight, fitted silhouette.
- Floor length.
- Long or 3/4 sleeves.
- Boat cutout.
80s style
The bride looks like something out of a fairy tale - this is the style that is still considered one of the most popular.
Photos of wedding dresses from the 80s.
The outfit model must have the following elements:
- Fluffy skirt.
- Fitted bodice.
- Abundant decor on the top.
- Shaping corset.
- The bodice is sleeveless and has no straps.
Wedding dresses from the 80s - what's the charm? White fluffy dresses became fashionable in the 80s. Every bride wanted to get such an outfit. Moreover, every year a fuller and fuller skirt became fashionable.
At the same time, the elongated version of the elegant dress does not lose its relevance. Its main feature is modesty and closeness. As a rule, there are no decorations or decorations of any kind on it.
At the same time, interesting details attract attention. For example, a thin belt at the waist will emphasize a slim figure. A skirt with sewn tulle in the form of flounces will hide curvy hips.
90s style
90s wedding dress – what’s special? During the crazy 90s, the emphasis was not on simplicity, but on wealth and chic. The more expensive a dress looked, the more fashionable it was considered.
The outfit could be made more expensive thanks to:
- Abundant accessories.
- Sewn on decorative elements.
- Shuttlecocks.
- Expensive material.
- Hats.

The style of the dress was the same in both the USSR and Europe: an elongated, slightly fluffy skirt. The 90s retro bride should choose the model with the most embellishment. The more elements there are on a dress, the more fashionable and stylish it is considered.
Entertainment at a wedding
How can you manage at a wedding in the 90s without a toastmaster, competitions, charades and pantomimes? Entertainment must be 90's related.
The script needs to be given special attention; for this you need to remember popular programs, toasts, and jokes of those years. You can play with everyone in “Field of Miracles”, “Brain Ring” or “Guess the Melody”.
Organize a game of hopscotch or rubber bands.
On special tables you can lay out toys from the 90s: Tamagotchi, yo-yo, rainbow spring, Tetris, electronic game “Well, wait a minute,” game console “Dendy” or “Sega”. Hold a competition for the best score in the game. This will be a pleasant surprise for the guests and they will remember with pleasure how they played.
You can put a school questionnaire in a place of honor so that as the celebration progresses, all participants in the celebration fill it out, describing their favorite color and leaving wishes for the newlyweds.
A festive disco in the style of the 90s will be a worthy end to the evening. At this wedding, famous songs of those years should be played.
A wedding in the nineties will definitely be interesting, but we shouldn’t forget about our time. You can use such an unusual element at a wedding as a flash mob, frozen photographs of a past era. It will be exciting and unusual, and your guests will be happy to join in this process. The more people are involved in it, the more interesting the flash mob will be.
Wedding fashion of stars: from the 90s to the present day
1990s: dressed as best they could
“The bride should have been a princess” - approximately this principle was followed when choosing a wedding dress two decades ago. If, of course, there was plenty to choose from. There is no need to talk about current trends that unite the outfits of our heroines: singer Natalie smiled from a heap of frills at her wedding, Anita Tsoi wore a dress with puffy sleeves and flower decoration, and Emma Malinina preferred a less festive outfit in a light pink shade with glitter. Many artists were not at all puzzled by the issue of updating their wardrobe. So, Dmitry Pevtsov and Olga Drozdova borrowed clothes from the costume designers of the series “On Knives,” where a woman was starring at that time, and Yulia Vysotskaya and Andrei Konchalovsky, having almost slept through their own wedding, came to the registry office in jeans and simply signed their names.
2000s: more magnificent, even more magnificent!
The next decade saw the rise of layered skirts and bandeau bodices. The actresses obeyed the trend, most often dressing up in fluffy dresses with open shoulders - they had to stand out due to the decor, veil or color of the dress. Anastasia Volochkova changed clothes three times for her celebration, ordering clothes from a familiar designer in white, soft pink and pistachio shades - the first one, embroidered with Swarovski crystals, weighed about 15 kilograms! Polina Dibrova also relied on an unusual color: the bride (and now wife) of the TV presenter said the cherished “yes”, standing in a cream dress with unusual light green inserts. Marina Anisina surpassed everyone in our selection, abandoning classic white in favor of orange and purple tones - her lace dress with a bow was created by Parisian designer Max Shaul.
Were there any exceptions to the general love for pomp, volume and chiffon? Certainly. Valeria married Joseph Prigogine in a dress with a minimum of decor, but with a bare waist and neckline; Glucose chose to leave the outfit from Yudashkin for a large-scale holiday, dressing much more calmly at the registry office; and Natasha Koroleva purchased a rather modest dress both in cut and in price - her outfit cost only 2 thousand rubles.
2010s: beauty is in the details
In the early 2010s, echoes of the 00s were still heard: fluffy dresses did not want to give way to new trends. A striking example of this is the singer Jasmine. The singer discovered her dream wedding dress (price: about 700 thousand rubles) in the catalog of the Parisian brand Zuhair Murad, and when she read the name of the model - “Jasmine” - she completely fell in love with it. Over time, the cut of wedding dresses becomes more and more laconic, and details are responsible for their status: fancy lace, pearl buttons, stone embroidery. And the thinner the robot, the more luxurious the bride looks! Let's move on to examples:
- Keti Topuria. A dress made of matte satin with a long train and eye-catching geometric decor was created for the singer by Frenchman Stéphane Rolland, who dresses such stars as Lady Gaga and Beyoncé. The cost is about 2 million rubles.
- Lera Kudryavtseva. For the first time wearing an outfit from Igor Gulyaev with a flowing skirt and shining crystals, the TV presenter practically burst into tears: “God, how beautiful I am!” Price - about 200 thousand rubles.
- Rita Dakota. Almost a classic example for the 2010s. An outfit like this - with smooth lines, an emphasis on the decoration of the bodice and an A-line silhouette - is one of the favorites among the stars.
- Lolita. Unlike her younger colleagues, Milyavskaya decided to “go crazy” by showing the guests an ultra-mini peach-colored one. The cost of the dress from Igor Chapurin is approximately 800 thousand rubles. By the way, Alla Pugacheva also got married in a dress that went above her knees in 2011.
- Alena Krasnova. Nikita Presnyakov’s bride changed clothes three times, and each time the fabric in her outfits became less and less. The first appearance - in a very voluminous dress from Yulia Prokhorova - was not rated too highly. The second look - a floor-length lace dress - emphasized the blonde's figure to advantage. In the third look (miniskirt and short top), Krasnova performed a wedding dance in the air.
Wedding cake and treats
Particular attention should be paid to the menu. A touch of the 90s is expressed by the list of certain products. Everyone knows and loves Olivier salad. He, as a companion to all feasts, will be required at the wedding table. The menu can be complemented by the famous “fur coat”, canned food (sprats are a delicacy), caviar is a must, Jupi drinks, Pepsi-Cola in cans, candies “Rachki”, “Golden Key” - all these are attributes of the 90s.
An obligatory loaf that the newlyweds will cut together and treat each guest to.
And for dessert - a cake with small figures of the bride and groom.
A wedding in the style of the 90s will definitely remain the most colorful and important, inimitable and unique event in your life! Be happy!
Makeup
They painted brightly, very brightly in the 90s. They focused on the eyes and lips. Styles mixed. If in the Soviet Union lipsticks were mainly red, now the choice has become wide. The gold and silver palette began to predominate in makeup. Eyeshadows and lipsticks were bought in blue, blue, brown, sand, pearl, purple and pink. It was fashionable to line the eyes with thick arrows and outline the lips with a pencil over lipstick. So that it doesn't spread. Moreover, the color of the outline was several tones darker than the lips. In general, lip liner was a novelty in the 90s.
