A Vintage Affair

Vintage items just have a certain glamour to them and brings nostalgic memories to life.

This article is about vintage themed weddings, however, you can steal a few ideas here even for modern weddings, by simply adding little touches of vintage glam to your wedding for that extra bit of attention to detail.

The stationary used to invite your guests to the wedding will be the first glimpse into your wedding day. Make it count by making use of all the wonderful vintage fonts out there. A few examples are: Candy Inc, Raconteur and Aspire examples seen below:

Bridesmaids’ outfits can be rounded off with white lace gloves and peep toe shoes.

Then there are the shoes… We found this amazing little shop in Cape Town that will decorate any shoes you have with the most beautiful lace, or a gorgeous brooch. But don't worry if you cant make it to Cape Town, you can visit them at their online store http://www.lilyblueshoe.co.za.

When it comes to your  decor - think small details. As previously mentioned, small touches can create a whimsical vintage feel, drape a string of pearls over tall lanterns or over  your cake stand. Colour choice is also important. Vintage pastels such as yellows, pinks, greens and purples work well together.

 

You can add a vintage touch to your modern decor in various ways you just have to get creative.
