Create the Vintage Wedding of Your Dreams
It is hard to define vintage as a theme, but at the same time, it is very distinct. Vintage conjures up images of the 1920s, ’30s, and 40s. A throwback to times gone by, vintage themed weddings have become very popular today. Timeless, beautiful and romantic, a vintage wedding is the perfect setting in which to say “I do.” Soft. Pretty. Muted colours and textured fabrics. Antique. Lace. Simple and elegant without being formal. Natural and flowy.
Some of the key elements to any wedding define the theme and really set the scene. In the case of vintage themed weddings, there are certain touches that are guaranteed to give you just the look and feel you want to create.
Dress
The star of the show at any wedding, the bride’s dress really does set the mood. If you are opting for a vintage wedding, then your dress should follow suit. Typical vintage wedding dresses are reminiscent of the glamour of yesteryear. Feminine and flowing, with lots of lace, are key elements of any vintage wedding dress. You can either opt for a newly made or designed wedding dress, but if you are going for a really authentic look there are vintage wedding dresses out there that were worn way back when.
Decor
Again, lace is a key element as are antique inspired elements along with upcycled pieces. Think fine bone china, old fashioned silver, ornate antiqued gold and silver, burlap runners, candles. You can also add occasional pieces of antique furniture, for example, a seating area with Chesterfield sofas and Persian carpets or an antique dresser where guests can leave wedding presents.
Flowers
Wild flowers, arranged in such a way that they don’t look arranged are the way to go. Soft, gentle, whites, greens and soft yellows and pinks will really create a wonderful natural mood.
Lighting
Fairy lights create a huge impact and really add a wow factor. Not only do they make any wedding look like a fairy tale come true, but they also make the guests look good thanks to their subtle effect. Chandeliers, candles in silver candlesticks or old fashioned glass bottles all create the soft muted tones and gentle lighting.
Now take all these elements and put them together under the roof of a stretch bedouin tent.
