Get Vintage for your Wedding

Planning for your wedding as we all know was never that easy. One of the minor thing you have to consider in preparation is your wedding motif.

You may be asking yourself, how can I design a wedding that pulls together the best from the past, while still feeling fresh and current? The answer: a modern vintage style wedding. Read on for ideas on how to combine these two contrasting styles into one fabulous event.

Your accessories can also give a nod to the past while still feeling fresh and updated. One of the hottest accessories on the red carpet this year was the clutch handbag. This style of bag has been in style in many different time periods, and you can find some fantastic original vintage beaded clutches in antique shops or even on ebay. Handmade wedding jewelry is another detail that is perfect for the modern vintage wedding. Choosing pieces of jewelry for your wedding that are handmade one by one from beautiful gems like pearls and crystals goes back to a time when craftsmanship was revered.

For your wedding decorations, you can use wonderful flowers with an old-fashioned look like big bunches of peonies, garden roses, or hydrangea. Casually arranged in less formal vessels such as mis-matched vases, you will have centerpieces that are very pretty without feeling stuffy or overdone. This relaxed elegance is at the heart of a modern vintage style wedding.

You may even try your hair color to jive along with your wedding motif. What matters is the uniqueness of your wedding.


Always remember that to decide on the tone and motif of your wedding, talk about with your partner what would be more comfortable with both parties.

Steps Towards your Wedding

As you have announced your engagement and you are about to leave your single hood and start a married life. After you have announced the engagement to family and friends, it’s now time to lay down the things you will need for the big day. ~Willeth Luarca-Laus

Motif-this is where you decided on how your wedding would appear. Do you want a formal, casual or themed wedding? Do you like the ordinary peach and pink colors as motif or do you want to be a little creative? A friend of mine who recently got married chose a fairy-themed wedding: flower girls were dressed like fairies and the reception venue was decorated like a magical kingdom. To decide on the tone and motif of your wedding, talk about with your partner what would be more comfortable with both parties.

Invitations-Wedding cards or wedding pamphlets can base its appearance from the wedding motif it self. A personal touch makes it more unique.

Budget- Set a certain budget that would cover all your expenses. You can use the money you have saved or ask your parents if they are willing to help you out. You may also ask for the financial help of your secondary sponsors.

Wedding Date and Venue- Try too book early for your wedding date on church or temple. The earlier it is booked the better because it will help you avoid stress in looking for a place to held your wedding. If you are planning for a garden or beach wedding have an early reservation as well.

Make Ups and Hairstyles- Think about your favorite hairstyle and/or the most elegant hairstyle that you think of.Ponytails can carry sophistication. You can also have braids you can have it swinging or even straight locks. If you think these types of hairstyles seemed to be unrealistic you can always try checking on magazines to go hunting for different hairstyles. After figuring out what hairstyle you want for your wedding think of make up to use.

Gowns and its Designers- Grab the option also of renting gowns and suits for your wedding. Its a good choice renting your wedding apparels because you would only use them once. If you're planning to have your own design look for a designer that could best design your gown. Gowns need not to be expensive its how you wear it.

Wedding Dishes and Desserts- Decide for the best caterer. You dont have to served a lot of menu's for your reception you just need enough amount to be served for your guests.
