You have been searching for your wedding theme for several months. And you finally had the revelation! How to find the balance between tradition and modernity? We opt for a vintage wedding! Close-up on 100% retro wedding decoration!
1- RETRO CONTAINERS FOR ORIGINAL MARRIAGE TABLE CENTERS
Are you an avid fancier and other garage sales? That's good ! Jars, pottery tureens, metal pitchers or kitsch teapots will perfectly replace conventional containers for your centerpieces.
2- PORCELAIN PLATES FOR A VINTAGE TABLE DECORATION
To give a retro look to your wedding reception room, borrow from your favorite aunties their porcelain plates. Delicate and beautifully decorated with floral motifs, they will give authenticity to your retro decoration.
Plus: Bet on mismatched plates to bring a touch of fancy to your tables.
3- POST CARDS AND ANTAN LETTER BOX AS A GOLDEN BOOK
Exit the guestbook of classic wedding and tristounet, place to retro postcards! Piles in the theme and original at will, they will boost the imagination of your guests. Also provide an old mailbox so that they can slide the cards.
4- AN OLD CHINA BOOK IN A BROCANTE
The smell of old paper and the yellow leaves will surely inspire your guests! Invite them to circle the word of their choice by explaining what it inspires them. An idea at the top to give free rein to their imagination!
5- AN OLD LARGE CASE FOR DISPLAYING THE TABLE PLAN
To display your wedding table plan, opt for an old suitcase open and placed vertically (on a chair, a trunk ...)
