Classic Then, Classic Now

Vintage themed weddings are a great new trend for Spring 2011. Whether the entire wedding is inspired by vintage elements or just a few pieces are brought in, it's a wedding theme that will keep guests talking! What I love about this theme is you don't have to take it literally or over the top to make it a show stopper. The smallest infusion here and a simple touch there are all that you need.

Centerpieces.





Mix-and-match dishes.



Cake toppers. Too cute!



There's not much more than intricate lace that screams vintage to me. A few ideas to incorporate lace for that vintage touch is to mimic the wedding dress' lace in unexpected places - on the wedding cake, the edging of the invitations and programs, or throughout the table settings.



One of my absolute favorites - actually what inspired this post - vintage brooch bouquets. Found at Annie Laurie's Antiques.



For the bride.




For the bridesmaids - vintage-inspired headbands. I will be wearing one for my sister's wedding this June!



And, for the one who dreams of being the bride.


Can't forget the transportation. The last impression is just as important as the first!
