Amazing Vintage Wedding Ideas 2015
If you’re getting married next year, you’re likely up to your eyes in seating plans and invitations by now. One of the most-popular themes for modern weddings is vintage. Many brides-to-be opt for this style as it offers a classic and elegant look. Planning a vintage wedding can be more difficult than planning a regular wedding. People often think that all they need to do is pick up a few vintage pieces from a store, but there is so much more to it than that. Here are some amazing vintage ideas for your 2015 wedding.
Don’t Worry About Era
One thing that many people struggle with when planning a vintage event is era. Of course, you should choose one era are your main source of inspiration, but don’t worry too much about sticking to it. For example, if you have chosen 1920’s glamour, and have centerpieces that look more 1930’s, that is not a problem. Many brides stress about minor details like that when they are making their plans. Remember, nobody is going to be checking up on the dates, so you don’t need to worry.
Finding Vintage Dresses
One of the most-important parts of the wedding is the wedding dress. When you’re looking for the perfect dress, you have two main options. Do you want an authentic vintage piece or a vintage inspired dress? You can get inspired pieces at most bridal stores. As the theme is quite popular, many modern stores have started stocking vintage style pieces. If that’s not for you, you can always look for authentic pieces online. There are many online retailers who specialize in vintage dresses. Remember, sizing changes over the years. That means that it might be worth getting a size larger than you, usually, would.
Booking Retro Transport
When you plan a vintage wedding, you need to travel in style. Turning up in a modern limo will ruin the illusion. Instead, consider booking a retro car for your big day. South Coast Vintage offer a range of retro and vintage vehicles that would suit your big day. Make sure you book your transport far in advance. During wedding season, vintage cars are in high-demand. That means that if you don’t book early, you might not get a car in time for your big day. Look into all the options from carriages to minis before you make your choice.
Styling Hair And Accessories
Vintage hairstyles are difficult to get right if you do it yourself. Instead, look for a stylist that specializes in the trend. Doing so will mean that you don’t have to worry when it comes to styling your hair. Book the stylist for about three hours before the event. Doing so will mean that you have more than enough time to sort out your hair before you walk down the aisle. Choose a retro style hair piece, such as a feather and chiffon cap, which will tie your entire look together.
Creating Beautiful Favors
Creating wedding favors is one of the best parts of planning your wedding day. Your guests will take the favors home as a memento of the day itself. You should go out of your way to ensure that your favors are original. Stick to your theme. Look into offering vintage style notebooks or tea in vintage boxes. Find a specialist company to create your favors for you. When you are ordering a bulk of favors, you should get a huge discount on your order. Look online for ideas before you settle on anything. Once you have your ideas, talk to the company about what they can produce.
