There you are, planning for your vintage wedding. You must be really
excited! You have already pictured the overall look of your dress and you have
an idea of the bridesmaids’ dresses in your mind. But hey, you must remember that a vintage wedding is not just about
wearing vintage clothing. It is about the entire feel of your big day. Consider the decorations and the venue; the
cake and the favours. Apart from the look of the bride, groom, and the whole
entourage, the decision on which flowers to use is certainly among one of the
most important elements and should be one of the initial things to plan for. To
have an authentic vintage feel, you should of course consider using vintage wedding flowers. Do you have
any types of vintage flowers in
mind? How about a specific type of flower arrangement?
Below are some suggestions on how to have
the best vintage flowers for your
wedding:
·
Pick a specific era.
This
is actually a default rule or tip when it comes to purchasing any vintage item.
There are various periods of time encompassed by the term “vintage”. For
instance the1920’s vintage look differs greatly from that of 1950’s; hence you
should be specific with your preferred era and try to stick to that for your overall
theme for the day.
·
Be in the know of the various
flowers that represent your chosen era.
It
pays to have various choices, for you can explore a lot of different types of beautiful
flowers. Do you opt for a 30’s look? If so, you may want to choose among Calla
lilies, Gardenias, Jasmine, and Roses. You may also pick Hydrangeas, Peonies, Apple
Blossom, or Lily of the Valley if you prefer a 50’s design. If you’d love to go
for a 60’s theme, Gerberas, Irises, Daylilies, Carnations, or Daisies are the
best options to consider.
·
Explore different bouquet
styles and accessories.
The
bridal bouquet should work well with the wedding gown. For instance, a pomander
bouquet is advisable if you’re going to wear gloves. You may also want to use
some accessories like brooches, diamanté or lace to accentuate that vintage
look.
·
Vintage
style should also be recognised in the flower arrangement
and overall presentation.
There
are various flower arrangement and presentation options when it comes to achieving
that adorable vintage style. For example,
you may use vintage curtains with flower tie backs. You may also transform
vintage bottles into vases where you can place your beautiful vintage flowers. Meanwhile, did you
know that real flowers were also used as cake toppers during the earlier times?
You may also want to do this with your wedding cake!
·
You may want to consider using
vintage paper flowers.
While
real fresh flowers may be more preferable due to their delicate and fragrant nature, you may also want to try using paper
flowers to decorate your reception venue. The flower tie backs mentioned
earlier may be made of paper, as well as those that are placed in flower vases.
Just like when you order real flowers, there are shops that sell vintage paper flowers. You may also
order online. Using paper flowers is
actually a good thing to do, since it showcases creativity and
resourcefulness. Those paper flowers can
even look as beautiful as real vintage
flowers if enough thought and effort has been put into their design. Wallpaper invitation envelopes, by the way, are another great item
that can add beauty and creativity to your entire wedding. Should you be
interested, you may also use vintage floral wallpaper, perhaps as part of the
table decoration, as a runner or to decorate the vases that are used for the
vintage flowers.
Planning for a vintage wedding is not easy; hence it pays to feed your imagination
with different vintage wedding ideas.
Learn everything that you can, and your dream wedding will surely become a
reality.
