• For decor, take old things from your grandmother, some antiques, so that it is not a pity at the same time (with a large number of guests, confusion is created, and these things are always lost).
• Think about what a retro motorcade will look like, and starting from this, decorate it (if it’s a medieval era, then a horse and carriage team, if it’s a gangster style, then you should rent a retro car, now it’s not a problem in wedding agencies).

• The groom must take care of the decor of transport. Decorate the motorcade in accordance with the style (decorate a retro car with lace, black and white ribbons, phonograph records, colorful balls, if this is a team, then pick up feather brushes, frills, dress the coachman, or do not decorate the carriage at all, as this decoration by itself).
• Ostrich feathers, pearl beads, furs will look good in retro style during the redemption of a young bride, in which guests will be dressed up;
