Vintage is one of the most difficult variants of the wedding, but if you do manage it, you will receive unique photos and unforgettable impressions. It is difficult, because under the term "vintage" everyone understands something different, because this is a very long, extended era. Therefore, whether you are working with an agency, or doing your own celebration yourself, choose the exact years that your vintage-style wedding should look like.
Decor
Wedding decoration in the vintage style is what most preparation time will take. First, in every, even the smallest city, there is a restaurant in the style of vintage (this is really a very popular style). If there is no such thing or you do not like it, you will have to order a restaurant that is subject to your personal styling.
Secondly, the wedding vintage in the natural environment always looks more appealing. If you have the opportunity to hold a celebration in an old country estate on the shore of a lake in a small but ancient theater room - this is a huge plus.
Take care that nature does not make its own adjustments to your wedding - if it's an open'er wedding, there must be a place where you can easily move in case of rain, without compromising the scenario.
Banquet room for a wedding in the vintage style is divided into several conditional zones - reception, a table for young guests, tables of guests, a dance floor.
The main wedding zone in retro vintage style is the reception, that is, the place where the young meet the guests. Here you can put an old typewriter, where guests will recruit their wishes, you can put a vintage chest, suitcases bought at a flea market, an old film camera, and a nightstand for gifts.
The menu just can not be particularly engaged. Let the dishes be the most suitable for the category of people you invite. Fortunately, the concept of "vintage cuisine" is not yet.
But the finishing of the tables must be done with might and main. High candlesticks, frames with antique (see old) photos, crystal - all this is the minimum program.
In the design of the wedding table in the vintage style you need to use pastel colors, trinkets, small retro cells with flowers, antique dishes. Furniture, if you do not find something special at flea markets, you can stylize with the help of decoupage techniques.
Dresses
Vintage gives the bride maximum opportunities for reflection on the theme of a wedding dress. Ideal - if you really can find an antique dress "with the spirit" of that era, shoes and accessories (a hat, gloves, beads, stockings, etc.). The dress can require repairs, and this thing should be trusted only by real masters.
If nothing was found in the grandmother's chest, go to any wedding salon - you are not the first, and not you are the last who wants retro vintage. Many eminent designers are in full swing this style, fortunately, you chose the style of femininity, so there is no bad option here.
As for the color - it's not even white, but cream, ivory or coffee with milk. Do not forget about ornaments - brooches, gold, large earrings, etc.
A suit of the groom should contain several integral components of that era - braces, a waistcoat, a tie or a butterfly, a hat and, preferably, a pocket watch on a chain.
Warn guests that the wedding will be in vintage style. This should be mentioned in the invitations for a few more months, so that no one feels like a white crow at your celebration.
Bridesmaids and groom's friends do not have to be dressed in the same dresses, but they should be joined by accessories - veils, stockings, hats for girls, and boutonniere, braces, hats for guys.
