The vintage ‘theme’ resembles the early 20th century. Images from these eras have inspired vintage-themed weddings and have become increasingly popular. This has a lot to do with the soft, romantic, fascinating and classic vibe this theme offers, with the delicate, textured, lace-up and “dusty” fabrics. The ‘old look’ is elegant and flows naturally, while remaining simplistic, to create a more memorable ‘accept moment’.

Wedding dress

If you are opting for a vintage-themed wedding, the bride’s wedding dress should be a representation of that. After all, the dress will set the mood of the day from the beginning. A vintage wedding dress narrates the charm and elegance that it once was. Such a glamorous dress will embrace the natural and feminine, with soft colors and lots of lace. Although you could make your own unique vintage dress, you would get a much more genuine and elegant look from a real vintage dress, worn during the height of this style.

The right decoration

Another key feature that should be included in your wedding planning is lace, in large quantities. The lace gives it that authentic antique feel and works splendidly with recycled accent pieces. Include items such as burlap table runners; fine bone china; Vintage covered candles and elaborate antique silver and gold ornaments. Placing some antique furniture here and there to create comfortable seating areas adds an extra touch. Use items like Persian rugs, vintage capes, and wooden end tables or even a dresser as a gift table.

Don’t forget the flowers

The most suitable arrangement for a vintage theme would be a combination of wild flowers with subtle hues. Freely distributes yellows, whites, pinks and soft greens, without appearing arranged, for a refreshing and naturalistic atmosphere.

Lastly, lighting is essential

You can never go wrong adding colored lights at a wedding, and even more so with a vintage theme. They create a wedding setting straight out of a fairy tale and are less harsh, which means great things for your wedding photos. Other options for subtle lighting, offering soft, muted tones, are vintage glass bottles, chandeliers, and silver candle holders.

Now take all of these items and place them under the roof of a Bedouin-inspired stretch tent. Stretch marquees have fluid flowing organic lines, natural fabric colors, and their exceptional elegance and beauty will make the perfect canopy for your vintage-themed wedding. Your guests will be transported to another world, in another moment and you will have the special day that you have always dreamed of.
