Nine Vintage Wedding Décor Ideas To Add To Your Wedding

Vintage items are popular everywhere right now. People are gravitating to the exciting romanticism of one-of-a-kind, well-made items that are unique expressions of their individual style. Vintage items are often irreplaceable, timeless pieces that add their own eccentric character and ambiance to any room or space. What better way could there be to spice up your wedding day than with your own special set of vintage décor? Here are nine vintage wedding décor ideas to add to your own wedding.

Vintage Car

Vintage cars are timeless pieces of history that add distinct character to any wedding party. If you want to exit in style and create an unforgettable memory for you, your partner and your guests, a vintage getaway car is the way to go. If you don’t have one, try finding a friend with one for you to borrow. If that is not an option, there are antique car owners out there willing to rent their relic for photos or special events! If you want to stand out with a unique vintage item at your wedding, a vintage car is a stylish addition to your special day.

Vintage Camper

Vintage campers are fun and quirky additions to an eclectic wedding. Vintage campers are often painted in bright, bold colors that pop and provide an eye-catching statement piece. Bumper-pull trailers are often small enough to haul and park at most venues and create a cute, whimsical backdrop for whatever your heart desires. Some vintage campers and vans are even rented out as photo booths. Similar to antique automobiles, vintage campers can be borrowed or rented for your special day if you don’t have one of your own!

Vintage Furniture

Vintage furniture can be a cool addition to any wedding venue to set your day apart from the rest. Vintage bar carts, bistro chairs, antique tables and classic couches can all provide comfortable and sophisticated substitutes for your average venue furnishings. Special family heirloom pieces can provide unique opportunities for something borrowed on your dream day and offer sentimental value for you and your family.

Vintage Arbor

Vintage arbors can be borrowed, purchased or rented for your special day. Borrowing one from a family member or loved one may be a wonderful opportunity to include an heirloom that provides a sense of romantic nostalgia for your entire family. An arbor that has been passed down for generations may also provide a sense of prosperity and luck in relationships. Vintage arbors are often made from wood or metal. A wrought iron arbor paired with vintage metal bistro chairs will tie the scene together in a perfect celebration of love and antiquity.

Vintage Vases

Vintage vases are a cute and whimsical idea to hold your floral centerpieces. Since it may be difficult to find matching vintage vase sets, finding unique and individualized pieces that may coordinate well together is another way to add charm to your special day. Antique vases are each crafted with their own notable style, from ceramic-ware and glass-blown to forged metal, every vase is different and possesses its own delightful appeal. Clear glass vases can be used to present different candies, like mints or colorful sweets should you choose to include a candy bar on your big day. They can also be used as or coordinated with vintage pitchers to present cocktails or water to guests.

Vintage Dinnerware

Vintage dinnerware sets can also be tied into the rest of your antique wedding décor. Vintage dinnerware sets often are decorated with artful designs of flowers, foliage, geometric patterns, or metallic calligraphy. Floral designed dinnerware can be coordinated with floral arrangements in color and flower types. Colorful geometric patterns can provide exciting pops of bold pigments to your vintage décor theme, and subtle metallic accented plates may elevate the sophistication of your special day.

Vintage Chandelier

Vintage chandeliers can be strung under your wedding arbor and over your tables to create some overhead visual interest. If you are not able to light your vintage chandeliers, antique crystal chandeliers can provide eye-catching, light reflecting statement pieces even without illumination.

Antique Lace Table Runners

Lace table runners are reminiscent of vintage doilies and are clean, delicate works of art that stand out against a dark wooden table. Swirling, woven designs are common in antique pieces, and lace table runners will coordinate beautifully with wrought iron chairs or an antique arbor.

Vintage Cake Topper

Vintage cake toppers are classic, timeless sculptures that can be used atop your wedding cake as a fun detail to add to your antique décor. Like the arbor, perhaps you have loved ones who held onto their cake topper from their own wedding day. This can be another beautiful heirloom to add sentimental value to your special day.

Vintage pieces can be sophisticated, stylish additions to your wedding décor list. Antiques may also be a unique way to incorporate “something old” into your wedding day. If you frequent antique shops, flea markets and thrift stores, you may even be able to find some of these statement pieces to spruce up your wedding day on a budget. Antiques can also be a fun way to incorporate family heirlooms into a memorable, sentimental day, and add a nostalgic sense of romanticism to an already special experience.
