Vintage Lovliness For Your Wedding

I thought I would share a few vintage ideas for your vintage weddings! I will let the photographs do the talking!


Write your order of the day onto a blackboard


Use lovely vintage china for your tables


Decorate your venue with reams and reams of bunting


Create a typewriter table for your guests to type you messages and leave you cards


Use buff labels for your name place cards and customise with vintage style stamps, string and personal messages


Use antique bottles and jars to fill with flowers


Make your own confetti cones from brown paper, fill them with rose petals and place them into a wicker basket


Make some signs from reclaimed wood and paint with blackboard paint to create a rustic look


A lovely guest table plan, made with wood and painted with a vintage pastel green, then painted with blackboard paint. Use buff labels to write your guests names


Use vintage suitcases for your guests to place their cards in


Pile up lovely old books to create a rustic vintage feel


Fill antique bottles of different shapes and sizes with beautiful wild flowers and herbs, your tables will smell gorgeous


Use jam jars, fill with flowers and hang on the backs of your ceremony chairs

Vintage Wedding Fair in Leamington Spa




I exhibited at the Vintage Wedding Fair in Leamington Spa yesterday and it was great! I saw two of my lovely friends there who are getting married soon, one of them bought her dress yey!

I also met up with some good old Twitter friends, Rachel Spivey photography and Daisy Cupcakes, two fabulous businesses and lovely, lovely women! I was amazed by the quality of the stall holders and felt so inspired by the wonderful vintage businesses we have out there. I was also very impressed with all of the lovely brides and grooms I met on the day, they were all so chilled about their days and had a clear idea of what they wanted or at least a colour scheme which is a start!




The day was set off beautifully by the Polka Dot Dolls who sung fabulous 1940's and some 1950's songs, it was dreamy, I could have stayed there all day. I would definitely recommend these ladies for your wedding.




I will very much look forward to meeting up with lots of brides and grooms I met on the day to chat afternoon teas, vintage china and cupcakes!






Thank you to my amazing boyfriend for the photographs!
