One of the most personal weddings I’ve ever been to was one of my friends who really made it her own. She took her mother’s wedding dress and had it altered and designed to suit her. And even though her wedding was 6 years ago, I still remember seeing her and her husband drive away in a cool, vintage car.

For our wedding, we decided not to do anything special about our transportation. Since we had no wedding party and our ceremony and reception was at the same site, I just road to the ceremony with my friends and my mom. My husband drove to the site himself. While it seemed practical and economical for us to do so, I still think having a sweet vehicle like theirs adds a little romance and excitement to the day.

If you want to echo this classic, vintage style, choose invitations consistent with this theme. The results will be a seamless look that begins with invitations and ends with your wedding day.

I love the idea of adding something to tables that make guests want to travel around and mingle to other tables to see what’s going on. One wedding I went to in Boston did that. The couple had pictures of themselves at different places they had traveled to. I kind of took that idea one step further and thought about getting Vintage postcards to put on each table. These could be places that the couple has traveled to or the places that they want to go to. If the couple has been there, adding information on the back of the postcards about their travels would be really interesting and a conversation starter for guests. If they haven’t been there, the couple could write down information about the place and why they want to go there. Another option for those that don’t like writing is just to list the names of the people who will be sitting on the table. I think this will be a fun and creative way to add personality to your wedding tables.

If you’re an eclectic bride-to-be then consider vintage for your wedding style inspiration this season. Vintage is a perennially popular theme for everything from tiered gowns to antique rings. At Wedding Paper Divas we were inspired by both traditional and contemporary trends for our latest collection. Our designs combine bygone, intricate, embellishments such as damask, toile and paisley with modern twists like unconventional colors and expansive open space.
