We've finally settled on a theme and we're going for a Romantic Vintage theme! I have a few ideas and what not, was wondering if anyone could point me towards more inspiration?
I'm really excited now!!!
:D xxx
EDIT there seems to be quite a few vintage threads about different things at the moment so Ive slightly changed the title of this one and made it into an official thread so all the brides to be with this as part of their theme can talk and discuss ideas etc together in one place................enjoy and bookmark ladies :-)

Candelabras covered with hanging crystals, gold-rimmed vintage china, crystal glassware, and a sheet moss table runner give the mirror-top table a glamorous garden party feel.

I'm having a vintage theme also and my colours for everything are ivory. My bridesmaid are wearing ivory the same as me and are having vintage lace sashes and lace shoes. My daughter who is my flowergirl is having a lace dress also same as mine but obviously a younger version. I'm looking at bird cages etc for decorations an having lots of lace and pearls :-) xxxx

CommentAuthorClarabella
nne did you make your brooch bouquet? If you did how did you managed to get it all together in a ball shape and stay there? I keep trying and its not looking a ball shape and some of the brooches keep sinking

I wired the brooches as normal, then i made mini bunches of 3-4 stems and wired them together, then put the 10-12 mini bunches together to make the final shape. I found it easier to do than trying to manage single stems.

CommentAuthorSian''OCD''Holkham
I used a wire collar for mine have a look on the bay for them x
google rustic blossom, they are also on FB, I'm hoping to have a touch of vintage in our wedding and I love their stationary ideas. They are rather expensive but I intend to do it myself. They have beautiful table plans! xx

Aw we're having what has developed into a vintage theme although i hadnt realised it was what it had become until the florist pointed it out lol. I just wanted simple & pretty and it kinda just developed from there. We're having cream candelbras from the range and they have cream roses on them, with a wreath around the bottom of pale pink, ivory and champagne roses, with white freesia's and 'jip' ?, we have the vintage style luggage tags printed with just married as table settings, they're quite large ones so we're tying them round the napkins. Also the pearl like table confetti type stuff, we have pale pink and cream rose petals, undecided whether they will just go on the floor or on the table too. Errrrm what else!? bridesmaid dresses are a soft sage colour as are the chair sashes. The bay of E is fab & g o o g l e images. Ours is a kinda really soft floaty romantic kinda vintage rather than the cool retro style, like i say though it kinda just evolved into that. There are so many beautfiul things that encompass vintage that you have soooo many options. get on the search engine and you'll get loads of inspiration. If there is a range near you get looking cause they have a section that was almost made for a romantic vintage wedding. I cant wait to see it all together now, as unless you copy someones elses exact wedding you never really know so fingers crossed it'll be a as lovely as what's in my head. Our ceremony room is like a big conservatory within beautiful gardens so doesnt need much decorating (just flowers) and the reception room is kinda kitted out like a marquee with all drapes down the wall and have trelace and fairy lights ohhhh i am excited :) not long now.
lol Sorry my post was just uber long i just got carried away :) xx

CommentAuthorMrsRowan2be
RaggedyAnne I love that table plan. I wanted an old mirror but then didn't like the mirror bit, so will get an old frame and some flowery wallpaper and do that instead.
MrsVanderLee, I am having pale pink and blue also. Mostly will be blue/teal (bm dresses, cravats, invites etc.) and then pink will be the flowers and most of the venue decoration. I keep changing my mind because everytime I say pink & blue to someone they look at me like what the hell!, but I think it will look gorgeous so I am sticking with it now.
Getting married 29th June 2013!

Sally everything you have described sounds exactly like what I want! lol and my reception is in a barn so I think a rustic vintage theme is going to work great! xxx

mrst2be that is gorgeous! I must confess I'm not the biggest fan of the brooch bouquets, I like the idea but most of them aren't my cup of tea but this is so elegant!
CommentAuthorRockabilly chick
Hey girls, just found this thread. My wedding has a slight vintage look to it. I wasnt really going for anything in particular but everything together has an almost vintage look. If anyone wants a look I have photos of most of my stuff in my albums

CommentAuthorClarabella
I have started making my wishing tree. Well started as in tied them together. Tomorrow im going to spray paint them silver. But i have finished making my brooch bouquet which im super happy with. Ive also changed my mind about my invites so have to rearrange them slightly and buy some more bits and pieces
