Weddings are sentimental. The '90s are nostalgic. Combine the two and what do you get? One unbelievably rad party in celebration of your marriage. Keep reading to find out the decor that will take your wedding back to the days when Mary Kate and Ashley were actresses, Michael Jordan ruled the court, and Mariah Carey dominated the charts.

From 1990 until 1999, there wasn't anything a little baby's breath couldn't enliven, from bouquets to hair styles and now to a flower girl basket ($40).

Even the Spice Girls would want to clink glasses at your wedding if they were toasting in these bright and glitter-encrusted stem wine glasses ($32).

Butterflies were a consistent theme in the '90s. Mariah Carey named an entire album after them and butterfly hair clips were all the rage. Bring the trend to your wedding cake with this edible butterflies dessert topper ($25).

If there was one thing every '90s wedding had, it was trailing ivy. It hung from bouquets and decorated cakes, and now you can use trailing ivy ($4/garland, originally $20) to spruce up your own nuptials.

Once high tech, today high fun, fiber optic light features ($35 for set of 12) will look great displayed on tabletops throughout the reception area.
