Vintage Weddings

Maybe the Hollywood wedding ideal of pink ruffles and frou-frou is just not your style. You want
something unique, something that reflects your style and sensibilities and most of all, your appreciation
for vintage design. There are literally hundreds of vintage-inspired wedding ideas and themes out there,
why not explore a few options?

Setting is key to achieving your vintage wedding dreams. Does your family live in a rustic century home?
Know of someone with a weather-beaten barn on a property with tons of personality? Does your
favourite kitsch-y restaurant have a large hall or courtyard you could rent? Ask around and see what
inspirational venues you can find.

Next comes decor. Scour your local second hand stores for one-of-a-kind of items for centerpieces
and other decorative attractions. Mismatched glassware such as milk glass or antique liquor decanters
make for great centerpieces with wildflowers thrown in for variety – explore the options and make your
wedding decor your very own vintage paradise.

Even smaller touches, such as the card stock you print your invitations on, can colour the tone of your
wedding instantly. Dunk your invites in tea for a distressed look, or spend some time choosing an
old-timey font. What about your dress? Wearing your mother or grandmother’s wedding gown is a
cost-effective vintage solution, but many designers are tailoring their gowns to suit the new interest
in vintage cuts and accents. Adding a touch of vintage with your accessories also does the trick – try
pinning your grandmother’s brooch on your dress, or adding a retro birdcage veil.

There are many options for you to explore that will transform your wedding from boring to vintage
heaven – all it takes is a little research. Ask around, and you’ll be surprised at the number of options you
uncover.
