Wedding Inspiration at the Antiques Fair

Monday, April 6th, 2009

This weekend, one of my favorite Wedding Paper Divas staffers invited me to tag along as she hunted for a coffee table at the Alameda Antiques Fair—a monthly gathering of vendors of everything from antique toys to clothing, housewares, furniture and art.

I was amazed by how gorgeous, romantic and fun all of the vintage collections were (minus a few stuffed buffalo heads—eek!). If you have a few hours to spare, definitely check out your local antiques fair or flea market to find some stellar inspiration for your wedding attire and reception.

Here’s a taste of some of the antique style you have to look forward to, as written about by some of our staff’s favorite bloggers, sfgirlbybay and Etsy Wedding:

I just posted an inspiration board on our sister site, Tiny Prints, with ideas for a tea party themed baby shower. However, I think these great ideas also translate perfectly for a tea party bridal shower.

If you are looking for some bridal shower ideas, be sure to check out this post on the Tiny Prints blog.
