It’s easy to see why vintage-themed weddings are becoming more popular. For our Texas couples, it gives them the chance to embrace some of the traditional rustic lodge/western, ranch décors and combine that with a casual home-like outdoor or indoor event. It works well with many event spaces in the area.

 

Rustic Ceremony Décor

 

Our example here is a Rustic Ceremony Arch. We think this captures the vintage theme very well because the focal flower is a hydrangea. These large flowers work perfectly with the accents of smaller cascading white and green flowers and baby’s breath. The foliage that fills the flowers out helps to give this decoration a touch of elegance.

 

Decorate the Mantel

If you’re getting married in a place where there is a fireplace, treat it as a focal point. People will naturally be drawn to it, so draping the fireplace with a floral garland will give your venue a warmer, somewhat old-fashioned intimate feeling. Choose flowers and flower colors that fit with the color scheme of your wedding. Add accents like baby’s breath or wax flowers to drive the vintage theme home.

 

Using the Vintage Theme in Your Reception Décor

 

When it comes to reception décor, there’s more to think about than the what flowers to use for centerpieces. The right container for flowers can make a difference. It may look like a tall silver candelabra, but we used it for the flower centerpieces to drive home the theme.

 

Don’t Neglect the Cake

 

A silver cake platter is a lovely way use vintage elements appropriately. The addition of roses and rose petals around the cake platter and all over the table will give the cake area a luxuriously romantic feeling.
