All that's old is new again... in fashion, design, and definitely weddings! We've all seen the vintage themed weddings going around on pinterest. The hollywood waves and dreamy vintage gowns, old car getaways, champagne towers, and cakes taller than your flower girl. It's fun, it's glamorous... and it's trendy.
If you love the vintage aesthetic, but still want the timeless elegance that you aren't scared to look back on 30 years from now, here are a few subtle details that will give you that vintage charm without feeling themed or kitschy.
Bows
Between the vintage vibes and "coquette aesthetic", bows are definitely having their moment right now. Despite their trendy resurfacing in fashion, bows really never go out of style, especially when it comes to all things bridal. Bows on your dress, in your hair, your decor. There are so many subtle yet beautiful ways to implement this trend that will truly never go out of style.
Antique and Classic Cars
Antique and classic car getaways have never really left the wedding industry. We have always loved a classic car with a "just married" sign at the end of a sparkler exit, but for a lover of the vintage aesthetic, this can be a fun and whimsical way to show off your love for all things vintage!
Vintage China and decor
The "thrifted" vintage china look is one way to not only incorporate your love of vintage items, but also add some beautiful color and interest to your tablescapes. Consider mismatching and layering your pieces for visual interest.
Flash Photography
While you will definitely want your classic wedding photos that will hang on the wall of your home for years to come, consider a photographer who also has harsh flash photography in their repertoire. This style of photography is great for those fun party shots and adds a touch of vintage flair
Cake Details
Of course the vintage heart cakes are the star of the show right now, not only in weddings, but for birthdays, gender reveals, and parties of all shapes and sizes. If you love the vintage heart cake, go for it, but if not, try incorporating some vintage details into a modern cake. Try piped edges, more detailed drapery piping, even the classic bride and groom cake topper.
Don’t Forget that it's your day!
There is no right or wrong way to do a trend. Borrow what you love and leave what you don't. Your wedding doesn't have to be pinterest-perfect, it just needs to be perfect for YOU. Let your personality shine through and happy planning!
