Vintage Weddings are elegant and creative and the options are endless. Some magazines are claiming that the vintage look is over but we disagree and think it’s better then ever. You don’t need to jump in a time machine to have your dream vintage wedding. Here are a couples of ideas to make your wedding day a unique and old-fashioned type of vintage affair.
Integrating vintage luggage into your wedding doesn’t mean spending hours upon hours on ebay or visiting every thrift store in your county. You would never guess what useful vintage items you can find in your garage, storage or attic.
Vintage luggage is a definite way to add a touch of elegant style to your wedding. Stack up the luggage to make a table. Use the luggage as chic centerpieces. Open up a suitcase to hold flowers, gifts or cards.
If you already have vintage luggage or have a family member that will let you borrow a piece or two than you are a lucky bride-to-be. If you don’t have vintage luggage handy don’t brush this creative idea under the rug, it’s still possible. Take an afternoon to go thrift store shopping. Not only is it useful, but a good time and the perfect afternoon for you and your fiancé or you and your bridal party.
Vintage window frames and picture frames are a fun decoration and can serve as many different purposes. Window Frames can easily have glass or chalkboards inserted and can be a handy tool to write menus or table numbers on.

Try searching flea markets and estate sales for furniture in a style that fits your style. If it’s not the color you are looking for, think about painting it or covering it to match your wedding colors. A dresser like the one below could be used to hold favors, cupcakes, appetizers, family photos or place cards.
