Going Old School

Looking for some neat ideas to turn your wedding into a classy, vintage one?  Why not?! Turning your big day into an old-fashioned soiree is a piece of cake!

Intrigue your guests by showing off your style right from the beginning. Do you remember using tea bags to make your 2nd grade history report look aged and unique? Use that second grade knowledge towards making your invites look charming and classic. Calligraphy pens can also help to make your wedding details simple and distinctive.


What about the centerpieces? Some of the best vintage centerpieces are things that are actually...well...vintage. Old or faded framed family pictures always make wonderful table decor, and add a little bit of family to the decorations. Pictures of old classic movies are also always a good way to help with your blast-to-the-past. Oldies like Gone with the Wind, Casablanca, and My Fair Lady are noted romantic films. Want to incorporate flowers into the centerpiece? Try picking out things from the garden like old water cans to give the piece an old-fashioned flair.


Now for the accessories. Adding lace to something almost makes it look vintage. Lace wedding dresses can be found in just about any bridal store. Not a fan of wearing lace from head to toe? Incorporate it other places, such as the table cloths, or the pattern of the wedding cake. Substitute a floor length veil or tiara for a birdcage style veil that drapes the side of your face. Vintage brooches or neckalces can help spruce up your look as well.


No matter what you choose to do, we know your wedding will be a 'thing of the past'. Just remember to keep it simple, and you'll be a success!
