Often, bridal couples choose weddings that nod to the past – mad 20’s, happy 60’s, hippie 70’s. Whether you want to create a celebration for a specific date or want to add a touch of retro to it, here at Fasol Entertainment we have a compilation of ideas to create a vintage wedding to remember!
Follow Family Traditions Remember or learn about your family’s traditions and try to incorporate some at the wedding. For example, your great-grandmother always made raspberry jam – cook it and hand out jars to guests.
Find an Old Location Don’t take this point literally as there are actually few old locations and those that do exist are often in poor condition. Still, try to convey the spirit of a vintage wedding by choosing an appropriate villa or restaurant.
Choose the right color palette Every bygone era had its own fashionable colors and patterns. A combination of black and gold is considered typical of the 1920s, floral motifs for the hippie era. If you’re unsure or don’t want to be limited to a specific time, choose muted shades.
Use patina… Patina is a beautiful discoloration that gives a surface a more refined look. Patina is one of the characteristics of the past, so you can boldly use it for such an event.
…or gold If patina appears too much, gold (or a “gold” decoration) can help out.
More ideas for a beautiful vintage wedding
Don’t try to create perfect combinations A vintage style wedding doesn’t require a pursuit of symmetry and compatibility. The decor can look like you’ve collected items from flea markets or antique shops – and that might actually be the case.
Choose “antique” furniture Worn chairs and tables, forged furniture for the lounge zone – anything you can find will do.
Create Cosiness With Little Details It’s the details that create a vintage wedding vibe, so they’re important. Arrange stacks of books with yellowed pages, find an old chest and place antique vases with flowers in it, lay out lace tablecloths or napkins – the list can go on and on.
Take care of the lighting Create subdued evening light with retro lamps or even candles if the venue allows.
