Vintage Inspiration

One of my best friends is getting married in a couple years or so and has started her wedding planning already {smart choice!} Her theme is a vintage love story and helping her plan it is so much fun especially because I adore vintage themed weddings! We have been going back and forth with ideas and finding so much inspiration from previous brides that have had similar ideas. So far, her wedding colors are {blush pink, ivory, champagne/tan, light aqua blue, and mustard yellow}

Inspiration for "A Vintage Love Story" came from a styled shoot by Jen from Greenweddingshoes and photographed by Caroline Tran

My friend loves to read so it was no surprise that having literature at her wedding was a must! For her centerpieces, She has gone to thrift stores and started buying vintage books to stack ontop of one another and so far has just about 25 books. All for $1 each!

Wedding inspiration came from: http://www.stylemepretty.com/2010/12/14/literature-themed-wedding-on-a-budget/

These {adorable mugs} can be purchased for $6 each at anthropologie

& They would make a beautiful display at a wedding on a guest book table, candy buffet table, or even at the sweetheart table!


Along with books for her centerpieces we found aqua mason jars {this is where light aqua blue made its appearance to the color scheme}

The mission now is to find THE DRESS!!! The most important part! With soooo many different styles to choose from, this may be a long process. Updates will be coming your way as well as more vintage inspired ideas as we plan her wedding...
