Frames are a great place to start, as they are easy to find and simple to make over. Look for ornate frames with plenty of etchings, carvings and details to get that true vintage look. And don’t worry about the color. It is easy to take some antique white or cream paint and give even the most outdated frames a pop of modern vintage colour.

Books are the ultimate vintage accessory for a wedding, and they can be used in myriad ways. Pick up some pretty, vintage looking books at a second hand shop. Look for covers with interesting covers that look a bit aged. Use these in stacks to display fairy cakes or pies, or place them at the center of tables and place a jug or vase of flowers on top. The best wedding planners, such as One Heart Wedding, can point you in the right direction of how to set these up.

Gold leaf just might be the ultimate color for a vintage wedding, and it can be used on almost any surface. Gold leaf is a paint-like substance that is gently laid onto items like votive candle holders, frames or trays to give an aged, vintage look to anything. And the sheen of the gold adds instant vintage glam to anything it touches.

Signs are an incredibly popular trend for weddings, and are very easy to create with a vintage nod. Use planks of aged wood with a deep patina and stencil or trace guest messages like “Ceremony this way” or “Drinks over here!”

Don’t forget wardrobe when putting together a vintage wedding. Accessories like a birdcage veil and long strands of pearls add a vintage look to a bride’s ensemble, and suspenders with a bow tie look smashing for the groom and his groomsmen. You can even ask guests to get into the spirit and arrive in a bit of vintage glam.

Favours are the last thing a guest typically sees, and it should end the event on a high note. Go for vintage favours like 1920’s era champagne glasses, silver lighters or old fashioned cardboard match boxes. Use your imagination to create a small thank you that is as unique as the whole wedding is sure to be.
Planning a wedding can feel like an overwhelming task, but once you have your theme in place, the rest falls in line. A vintage feel is perfect for any wedding production, no matter what your budget or style is. With a few creative ideas, you can pull together a big day that will have your guests talking for years!

Staying Stress Free the Day of Your Wedding
Take Care of Yourself

You’ve seen how little kids react to their environment when they haven’t eaten enough that day. This can hold true for brides, too! You’re going to be riddled with nerves but that isn’t any reason to skip eating. Not only will this have a negative impact on your overall mood, it’s also going to catch up to you later in the day.
Skip Playing the Hostess

Technically you are the hostess, but you don’t have to spend your entire day catering to everyone else. Assure yourself that everyone knows what to do at a wedding and everyone will show up, sit down, and be present for the ceremony. Don’t feel like you need to play hostess to your bridal party or in-laws, either.
Don’t Be Bullied

Whether it’s your mum, your sister, or an out of control wedding planner, there’s going to be someone who wants to make your wedding day fit their needs. The beauty of this is you don’t have to let them!
Accept Things Will Go Wrong

Your flowers might be wilted or even the wrong color. The caterer might have left all of the chicken out the night before or you completely forgot that your cousin’s family is vegetarian. Let it go! It’s hard, but most people won’t even notice any mistakes because they don’t know your ultimate vision for everything. Make it a point to tell your wedding planner that if something is wrong, you don’t want to know about it.
(Politely) Request to Be Left Alone

Before the wedding day, designate a few people from your wedding party to guard your door and ward off any bad news bearers. Ask that they send the messenger off to someone who can help them and to keep you free from worrying about what’s going wrong.
Forget About How You Look

Instead, just accept that you’re gorgeous, your fiancee is going to think you’re incredible, and your mother and best friend are going to be melting into tears when they see you completely put together. Every bride is beautiful, and you shouldn’t spend your day worrying about how toned your arms are (or aren’t) or your tan lines from last weekend at the pool.
Staying Stress Free as a Couple

Have a Wedding Free Night
Pick one night a week where you don’t talk anything wedding. In fact, forget you’re getting married. Unplug the phones, computers, and tablets and have a cozy date night free of planning and organisation.
Do Your Favourite Things Together

Don’t abandon the things that brought you together in lieu of wedding planning. Whatever you loved to do as a couple before all this wedding business exploded should still be a major aspect of your relationship.
Be Equally Involved in the Wedding Planning

Most men probably aren’t all that interested in planning every tiny detail of their wedding, but they probably want to feel included in it, too. Let him make some decisions on small touches for the ceremony and during the reception if he’s feeling left out.
Hire Help

You’re already busy with work schedules, so you don’t want to tie up all of your free time in the wedding, especially in the month beforehand. If you skipped hiring a wedding planner, consider a month-of planner to basically tie all of the loose ends together while you spend that precious time alone with your fiancee.
Have a Normal Weekend Before the Wedding

If you’ve done all of your planning and organising, you probably won’t have all that much to do the week before. Be normal not-getting-married-next-weekend people. Go hang out with friends, have a relaxing brunch, or lounge around on the couch binge watching Dr. Who.
Spend Some Time Apart

Wait. Spend time together but don’t spend time together? While you’re spending all of this quality time together and feeling hopelessly in love, don’t forget that space is good, too. You might not be having a hen or stag party, but you should still go out separately and spend time with friends to regroup with the other important peoples in your lives.
There’s bound to be stress leading up to your wedding. That doesn’t mean you have to be completely wigged out on your wedding day or drift away from your future spouse in the weeks leading up to your ceremony. Be organised, resourceful, and accept help from places like Hong Kong’s One Heart Wedding for a glamorous and professionally planned wedding.
