Tips on Planning a Vintage Wedding

People are getting married almost every week, and there are a high demand wedding planners and beautiful wedding venues; however, while quite some people are having the modern weddings others are doing are trying to bring back the  90's in their weddings. Therefore, vintage weddings are about how broad heritage, culture can be demonstrated in your wedding, and that is why it is finding its way back to many people's heart.  You can add different vintage themes in your wedding from the early 1950's styles to rock'n'roll themes but ensure that the ideas are inspired by the past times. 

Booking a venue is vital especially when considering incorporating a vintage theme in your wedding, unlike the modern wedding where any venue may work well with your plan vintage weddings require a high expertise when choosing the place. Consider attending the vintage wedding fairs they will give you an idea or tips on where you can host your wedding and get discounts on the venues and also seek particular era places like the early 20s ballrooms, old mansions that have old gardens and if the venue is standard incorporate vintage design in the reception. 

The color and design of your wedding is also another important thing when planning a vintage themed wedding, so the fabrics you will use in your wedding have to materialize the time. Another thing one should consider is the decor of your wedding you can beautify the aisle with candles, which are placed on antique holders at the reception, you can hang vintage chandeliers over the tables of your guest, and put an old or antique vase with flowers on their tables to sparkle the room. You should also conisder putting wine barrels. Booking the best musicians to sing for your guest who simulates the theme is also important, ensure you hire a band that can entertain your guest with old school music especially rock'n'roll music and if you have a substandard budget you can hire retired musician to entertain.

If the venue, dates, and design are confirmed the next thing would be getting wedding dresses for both the bride and the groom. However, vintage wedding dresses is one tough task you will have to bear because most of the gown shops do not stock them, so the best option would be borrowing from your grandparents or getting referrals from attending the vintage fairs. Excluding wedding dresses, the other thing would be getting the appropriate accessories that match with the contemporary dress with the bride consider adding a string of pearls and get suspenders for the groom to give it that 90's touch. Look up farm tables and designs  as well for that added vintage touch.
