Vintage Wedding Ideas...without the vintage theme!

3/12/2021

0 Comments

 
Planning a wedding is a lot...planning a wedding with a design but not a 'theme' is even more!
​
Let us help you with that!

Although it may seem like having Vintage items at your wedding makes it a Vintage Wedding Theme, it really doesn't have to be that way!
​
​Let's look at the many ways to add vintage decor to any style, and make it beautiful, and just what you are looking for in your wedding design.


timeless

Timeless charm is easy when renting vintage dressers for your dessert table display.  That touch of vintage enhances the beauty of the classic tiered wedding cake designs.

romantic

rent a vintage sofa in colour palette to match your wedding design
Renting a vintage sofa for your wedding portraits is THE PERFECT way to add vintage in, without the over all theme being a Vintage Wedding.  It adds that statement piece, in a colour that compliments your over all design, and even better, the romance factor goes way up!

modern

adding vintage coloured glasswares to modern place setting designs
Modern place settings with muted tones, and soft palettes are on trend.  Adding rented vintage glasswares for the pop of colour to enhance your table design is a fun way of creating pizazz for your guests.

boho

Did someone say boho?  What does it even mean? The term in itself means 'socially unconventional in a way regarded as characteristic of creative artists'.  Basically, anything goes.  But it typically comes down to those flowing floral prints; lots of barefoot dreams, and wicker!  haha

urban

As far as Urban style goes, city streets and industrial wedding venues are what I think of.  Try adding a plush vintage sofa to your urban design...how fun!
​Anyone else get a 'Friends' vibe here?

rural

Rural weddings typically have a sense of vintage in the design by default.  We see a lot of weddings hosted in barn venues, family farms, and acreages in rural Alberta. One thing we know for sure is that not everything on Uncle Bob's farm is wedding friendly!  But, with a few rented vintage items, your dream family farm, rural wedding can be a reality.

elopements

When eloping, there isn't a lot of room for styled design elements.  One easy way to fill that void without a full on wedding design is to take a romantic picnic along with you.

So, when planning your wedding and you want to add a few pieces of vintage items here and there, without it being too theme-y, you can! You can create the day of your dreams and maintain your style.
 
Besides that, if you want a full on vintage theme wedding...it's your day...do whatever you want!

Happy planning!
