What to Remember When Choosing a Vintage Wedding Decor?

For a vintage wedding to become a reality, one of the most important things is to know what details go with which other detail. So, one of the biggest factors that will play a role in your vintage-inspired wedding will always be the details that you add. For the most part, a minimal wedding with some delicate details will do it for you. Additionally, before you decide to go shopping for your wedding’s vintage details, make sure you know which “era” you want your wedding to be in. For example, you can have a wedding inspired by the beautiful Victorian age, the retro-70s, the dancing 80s, or even the roaring 20s! These ideas will help you get started with wedding planning, and you’d know where to get started. Lastly, a great way to find the perfect vintage wedding details, you can look for them in thrift stores, or even areas where you can find these in bulk. Of course, this will require some research, but it will get your job done!
Vintage Wedding Ideas That Will Make Your Wedding a Romantic Celebration!
If you’re looking to add some romantic details to your wedding, then we have some amazing ideas that will help you add charms and lovely details. A vintage wedding theme opens a lot of possibilities for you to try out. A vintage wedding theme can give you a wedding that is not only unique but also extremely personal to you. Here are a few ideas that you can use for your wedding:
Let’s start with something that is obvious, easy, and perfect for adding a vintage wedding detail to your celebrations! Instead of getting a modern car for your wedding exit, you can swap it for a vintage wedding! Or you could rent a vintage truck for your wedding exit. Not only will you get amazing wedding exit photos, but you will also add the perfect charm to your wedding! Another vintage idea that you can absolutely use to make your wedding look as though it is some fairytale story playing out for your wedding guests is by using a retro carriage! You can also use cans that are strung together, and tie them at the edge of your car or carriage to announce “Just married!”
Vintage Dessert Table Decor and Treats
Another way to add some interesting touches to your wedding is to use some lace as decor! Lace whenever used is always delicate, pretty, and nice. You can use lace, white, or any other color, for your wedding. You can simply add a few lace details to add the vintage charm. Another way to add a lovely vintage detail to your wedding is to add a few chopping boards instead of cake stands. Lace and wooden chopping boards can add a pretty charm to your dessert tables. However, if you’re of the opinion that wood and lace do not go that well together, then how about we give another idea? You can use some pretty glass cake holders along with the lace details on the table. You can also choose to use some retro cake stands that have a lid on them too, which will help you add a great touch to your wedding.
Now, for desserts, there are a few ways to find the aesthetic that you’re looking for. Well, the first idea that we have is to use bundt cakes! These cakes used to be very popular in the 1950s, which is why they can add a great vintage touch to your wedding. However, we don’t mean that you replace your wedding cake with this cake. Bundt cakes can be used as treats and additional desserts. You can also have cream-dipped or vanilla icing tea cookies to add an extra note of vintage details to your wedding dessert table.
Make it better: Another idea that we absolutely love and think will work impressively well for your vintage-themed wedding idea is to add some amazing tea cups and tea set-up. This will tie into a lovely Victorian-themed wedding. The tea cups and teapots could be pretty white ones with floral details or could be any color as long as they look retro. In our opinion, we feel that this will be a great idea to use after your wedding ceremony. This can be a cutesy-themed break, or you could even swap out your wedding cocktail hour for high tea! High tea, in general, is between 5 P.M. and 7 P.M., which is why it will fit in perfectly for your cocktail hour. You can also have some amazing cold cuts, cheese options, and lovely pies for your wedding guests. This will help you add an amazing detail as well as something unique! And to make the decor and this idea better, you can add some bunting strings for your wedding. The bunting strings can also be a DIY wedding detail to your wedding. Before we move on to the next point, we’d like to remind you that you can also have tea at your wedding reception party, depending on what you like.
Another lovely addition to your vintage wedding is the bold framed wedding signage. In your wedding, signage is important. Your wedding will have a handful of those. Even if you’re thinking of using only a few signage options, you’d at the most have wedding welcome signage, wedding dinner signage, and signage for the wedding exit. So, to add the vintage charm to your wedding all you’d need are some amazing metallic frames! Modern-day frames, even metallic ones, have uniform paint over them. However, for a retro feel, a gold or brass-brushed frame is perfect. These frames can be big or small, either way, they will help you add the perfect detail.
Give it a twist: If you love the idea of retro wedding signage, but don’t like the previous idea, then we have just the thing for you! All you need is to get retro mirrors, which will help you add a charming touch. Similar to framed wedding signage options, mirror signage is delicate, soft, and beautiful. The lettering on the mirrors can be flowy because to us block lettered signage looks chic and modernistic.
The Wedding Outfits
When we say wedding outfits, we don’t just mean the bridal party, the groom, and the groomsmen. We mean to include the wedding guests too! So, for this, we have an entire idea for your wedding. Instead of looking for a variety of decor ideas for your wedding, you can simply design a wedding setting with your wedding guests and their outfits! So, for your wedding decor, all you need is to choose delicate and minimal wedding details. And then, you can send your wedding invitations to your wedding guests specifying that this wedding is themed and everyone is requested to put on retro outfits. You can also choose a theme for retro outfits. However, remember, before you decide to do this and change your wedding theme ideas, remember that you will need to figure out if your wedding guests are comfortable with your ideas. So, you can probably ask your wedding guests personally, so that you know if they will enjoy it or not. And then go ahead with the idea. Because if all of your wedding guests show up in retro-themed dress code, you’ll have a blast and it would also give you amazing wedding photos!
Now, you and your partner can also lean into vintage fashion styles to add a stylish vintage touch to your wedding. One of the best ideas for grooms is to use a top hat! Top hats make everything stylish and pretty fun. To add more of the vintage style to the wedding outfit, the groom can have a pocket watch and retro eyeglasses. For the bridal outfits, the brides can choose a beautiful birdcage wedding veil, or even use a delicate lace capelet to add an impressive retro look. As for the wedding dress options, you can think of donning a delicate lace wedding dress, a pretty tulle wedding dress, or even a cute tea-length wedding dress. Of all the wedding dresses that you can choose from, these are the only wedding dresses that will add a vintage touch to your wedding.
Jewel-toned Wedding Decor
For the last idea on our list, let’s discuss the point of jewel-toned wedding ideas. The moment you add some of these ideas, your wedding will transform, we’re sure of it. You can have bridesmaids in the wedding wear jewel-toned velvet dresses. This will go with the vintage bridal look for your wedding too. Additionally, you can have jewel-toned table runners paired with some greenery, this will make the wedding decor and setting light up. Other than this, you can also choose some amazing cutlery for your wedding and pair it with jewel-toned glassware. We feel that not only dinner table settings, but your cocktail hour can stand to look absolutely stunning with jewel-toned glassware!
Some DIY Vintage Ideas: Create your Own Wedding Experience
Although we understand that creating the decor for your entire wedding is not an easy feat and nor should you think of doing it. Simply put, your wedding is to be enjoyed, which means you should kick back and enjoy. Some details, some small ideas for your wedding, that you can create and add to your wedding. So, this section is for those who are great with crafts and know how to get around with DIY options, then there are a few things that you can DIY for your wedding. One of the first things that we love for DIY vintage wedding ideas is a picturesque retro backdrop! To us, a retro backdrop is made of pretty paper roses. This backdrop can be used for your wedding dress photos or in your wedding reception party as a photo backdrop. Other than this, you can create some pretty DIY retro frames to hang in your wedding venue. As we had discussed earlier, bunting strings are also a great way to add the charm of a vintage-inspired wedding, that too can be DIY-ed. The reason why we are biased towards DIY bunting strings is that they can be unique for your wedding, and you get to design them. For example, you can add small notes to the paper, or even add monograms to make it look personal. Another great idea that we have for you is an alternative touch on your wedding guestbook, which is to create a vintage notebook for your guests to leave you notes and well wishes. To make this vintage guestbook authentic, you can easily leave a fountain pen and some ink for your guests to dip the pen in and leave you heartfelt notes.
That said, we come to the end of our blog post. We hope that these ideas have given you ample ideas to come up with an amazing vintage-inspired wedding. Before we leave you to plan your wedding, we’d like to remind you that the information here is just ideas. You can use these ideas to inspire some amazing decor ideas and create a wedding that is truly magnificent. These ideas can be used as it is or can be used after a few tweaks. As we have discussed earlier, if you’re switching your entire wedding dress code, make sure that you get the opinion of your wedding guests too. We understand that it is your wedding and you should be able to choose everything about it. But then again, a wedding celebration is best when it is being enjoyed with your loved ones! Since the guests you invite to your wedding are close to you, make sure that you consider how they’d feel as well. This piece of advice is on asking how the wedding guests will feel about the dress code. Apart from that, everything else can be your call, of course, your partner’s too.
