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 It is easy to take some antique white or cream paint and give even the most outdated frames a pop of modern vintage colour.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

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

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

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!”

Wardrobe

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

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!
