-- Vintage Wedding Decorations --

Do you have a love of all things from another era?

Does your wedding dress have a vintage feel to it? If so, you may wish to carry your love of vintage things straight through – and add some vintage flair to your wedding day with some exquisite decorations.

Movie Star Chic

Nothing says vintage like the classic black and white movies of the forties, fifties, and sixties. Combine old-Hollywood glamour with your wedding day by hosting an old-movie themed event! You can create centerpieces out of old film strip, glamorous photos held up with wire, and (of course) some classic flowers, like simple red roses. Print up some large posters of you and your beau and have them around the room, in black and white – with a vintage effect if possible! Your mode of transportation? A classic car, of course!

Make a Cameo

The classic cameo is one of the most classically vintage pieces you can work with. You can incorporate this motif into various parts of your wedding. Have a cameo or border of cameos adorn your cake. A cameo can be an intrinsic part of your stationery, such as being featured on your menu, invitation, and any printed signs. It truly is one of the most classic vintage wedding decorations that you can find!

The Perfect Venue

Adding some unique vintage wedding decorations can make a huge difference to any venue – but if you start with the perfect venue, you won’t have as much work to do! Consider wedding in an old movie theater – perfect for the dramatic couple! An outdoor or garden ceremony can evoke memories of days gone by. If there’s an old restaurant or hotel in your area, it might be just the right spot for a vintage-inspired wedding.

Antiques & More..

If you’re hosting this style of wedding, you’ll likely need to shop around a bit to find the right vintage wedding decorations to suit your needs. After you’ve checked out your local craft supply shops, it’s time to get creative. Head to antique fairs, flea markets, and thrift shops for some creative finds. You never know what you might find!

Keep an open mind. That collection of old records could become the perfect wall décor! Those old Coca-Cola bottles? Maybe you can use them as place card holders. Thinking outside the box and using old items in new ways will be sure to wow your guests!

Vintage Favors

You’ll be surprised at what your favors may end up being! Why not give out vintage teacups with a selection of herbal teas? Vintage romance and poetry books wrapped up in brown paper and ribbon, with a personalized inscription, could be a beautiful gift – and cost effective, too! Give out a framed black and white photo of you and your new partner in an antique style frame.

A Vintage Photo Shoot

For an extra special and memorable effect n your wedding day, hire a photographer to take photos of your guests. But not just any photos – dramatic, retro, vintage photos! Reserve a small section of your party place as the “studio,” where you can set up a vintage looking scene, such as a chaise lounge and antique lamp. Make it look as vintage as you can. Then, have the photographer snap their photo! Send them their photograph with your thank you card for a wild thank you they’ll never forget. Vintage inspired décor is a fun way to add a classic and unique touch to your wedding day. Romance and love? That’s something that never goes out of style!
