Want a unique winter wedding theme? What about a retro and romantic ski resort wedding?
Retro lodge weddings combine the beauty of winter with the glamour of vintage wedding decor. This cabin wedding theme creates a cozy wedding atmosphere that’s sophisticated and one-of-a-kind.
Wedding at A Frame Club
If you're planning a high-end retro ski resort wedding in Colorado, we highly recommend A Frame Club in Winter Park, Colorado.
While winter lodge weddings are trending and couples can be seen flocking to places like Sun Valley Resort in Idaho and Aspen Snowmass in Colorado, Winter Park provides an adventure-filled stay unlike any other.
In particular, A Frame Club allows couples to really play off of the resort’s mid-century-inspired aesthetic.
Retro Wedding Theme Ideas
In order to plan a successful retro ski resort wedding, embracing the theme is essential. At this styled shoot, you can see an element of vintage wedding decor in almost every single photo.
A retro color palette of deep reds and warm browns contrast against teal blues.
A wild wedding bouquet of bright yellow flowers matches vintage light fixtures and the organic shapes contrast against the many geometric patterns found throughout.
Vintage Wedding Dress Ideas
While you don’t have to wear a vintage wedding dress when planning a retro wedding, it is fun to play off of the theme slightly with your wedding wear.
Trendy vintage bridal details like buttons, bows, and more can pair well with a retro wedding theme.
For this styled wedding in Winter Park, Colorado, our ‘Alva’ dress by Eva Lendel was ideal.
The slouchy puff sleeves of this luxe Eva Lendel wedding dress gave a more relaxed feel to the overall bridal look.
The sheen of the satin fabric popped against the many matte backdrops, helping this fit and flare gown feel even more elevated.
Mid-Century Reception Dinner
Taking place in a dimly lit restaurant, this styled reception dinner was one of our favorite settings.
Inspired by the design trends of the 1950s and 1960s, a mid-century reception dinner typically features sleek and modern decor with retro-inspired menu items.
While the tablescape itself took more of a contemporary approach, bold geometric patterns can be seen in the breeze block wall backdrop and textural details.
Toasting with vintage glassware while reclining on brown leather couches, A Frame Club’s French alpine-inspired restaurant was the perfect place to celebrate post ceremony.
