Maybe the Hollywood style wedding of frou-frou and pink ruffles isn’t your thing. You’re looking for something that is unique, something that reflects your individual sense of style and sensibilities, and also your appreciation for vintage designs. There are tons of vintage wedding themes and ideas out there, why not take a peek at a few of these options?
The setting is important to achieving that vintage wedding of your dreams. Does your family currently live in a rustic home? Do you know anybody who has a weather worn barn on a property that has a lot of character? Does the restaurant that you like to go to have a courtyard or large hall that you could rent? Just do some asking around to find a venue that you feel is inspirational.
The next thing for you to consider is the décor. Browse through all the second hand stores in your area in order to find unique items for centrepieces and other attractions that you find decorative. Glassware that is mismatched such as antique liquor decanters or milk glass make excellent centrepieces with flowers thrown in. Explore the many options you have available to you in order to make the décor of your wedding a vintage paradise.
Even the small things, such as the stock of the card that you have your invitations printed on, can alter the tone of your wedding. Try dunking your invitations in tea in order to give them a distressed look, or you could have them printed in an old-timey font. What about you’re wedding dress? Wearing the wedding dress your grandmother or mother wore is both cost effective and a viable vintage solution. But there are so many designers that are creating their gowns to suit those who are interested in vintage accents and cuts. Adding vintage to your accessories is also capable of doing the trick, try adding a retro birdcage veil or pinning your mother’s brooch to your wedding dress.
