I’m a sucker for all things vintage. I love the idea of using antiques as a unique touch in any wedding, or things that follow a vintage style. Here are some of my favorite vintage inspired details for weddings. Best part is, you can DIY and make them fit your wedding theme perfectly.
Antique Bottles: salvaged and decorated yourself, or by a creative seller. Look through antique stores or ebay, and decorate them with ribbon or tags from a craft store. Fill them with bath salts as lavish gifts for guests, or apart of table settings.
Rustic Birdcages: for flowers or candles. Buy from an antique store or ebay, or new from a home decor store and paint it, or age it with weathering materials from craft stores to give it a rusted look.
Old Fashioned Candy Bar: at the reception for sweets for your guests. Find apothecary looking glass jars and fill it with your favorite candy.
Hand Drawn Invites: if you’re really creative, you can do it yourself, or hire an artist such as Liam Stevens whom does custom wedding invitations.
Parasols: made of paper or even lace. There are crochet patterns for beautiful, vintage looking parasols if you want to make your own. You can often buy the paper parasols white and paint them yourself as well.
All of these details can be as bold and colorful, or as neutral and toned down as you’d like. You can add one or two to a modern theme, or add it to your era inspired wedding. They are all versatile and I think they look great in any color.
