A vintage style wedding will have a very classic theme to it. Lots of couples choose their wedding theme to be a vintage theme as it inspires romance for the bride and groom as well as for the guests. The vintage theme should feature inspiration and ideas from eras gone by or from a specific time period. When opting for a vintage wedding theme a lot of time and hard work needs to be invested to ensure that the end result does not turn into a shabby affair.
A vintage wedding theme can have various focal points, but the main focus should be something that both bride and groom regard as meaningful. Some ideas for a vintage wedding are explained below.
When choosing the colour scheme, choose vintage objects from different eras that have been inspired by a colour. If you do decide to focus on one specific colour choose one from a particular era. If using patterns use different colours and variations. For example if you wish to use tweed, find the era tweed was from. Don’t use patterns that are too strong, otherwise you will have your guests lose interest in the theme.
Use a decade that was inspiring to make your choices. Look at what colours and patterns were used in that decade and what type of wedding attire was worn. Look at all the patterns, themes and colours of your chosen decade and choose your bridesmaids dresses, your invitations and decoration accordingly.
