This wedding theme is all about casual. About getting to basics and what a wedding is all about – the people and the love. It celebrates will all the enthusiasm and none of the drama. It says, “what you see is what you get.” Oh, and you like what you see. You love what you see…
Because it’s fun, wild, and flirty. A touch of tradition with a generous helping of vintage sass. You’ll probably see some tattoos and hot pink hair. You can bet everyone will be on the dance floor tonight…
An invitation suite that is simple and understated…
A tea-length gown with a shorter veil instead of the more austere traditional lengths.
For the bridesmaids, 1950’s prom gowns in various pastels…
Wildflowers add to the intimate feel…
While homemade or non-traditional decor features play up the fun feel…
For the menu, dressed up down home classics like blue corn fried chicken and biscuits with pink peppercorn honey butter…
So make it big – DIY features help keep costs down, so you can invite everybody but still keep an intimate feel. Think of renting a big hall or warehouse space. But most of all, have fun. After all, it’s your special day.
This time of year, I always have weddings on my mind. Between Valentine’s Day and my own wedding anniversary approaching, it’s just in the air. Ah, Internet. Thanks to you, I have already planned my next six weddings (so far). There are so many very, very cool ideas, and the vintage theme is EXPLODING into everything right now. Here are some details for what I am calling the Rustic Barn Vintage Wedding Theme. Enjoy!
Burlap. ‘Nuff said.
Wildflowers in tin cans, vintage outdoor furniture…
Love the rustic old crates. Love this entire setting…
Who says you can’t have chandeliers in a barn?
Or do chandeliers, paper lanterns, and white string lights to set the mood…
These gorgeous flowers feature burlap, twine, and buttons, providing even more rustic charm…
Mixed vintage China in subdued hues…
Here’s why vintage anything is cool, in a nutshell…
I see this as a fairly casual theme revolving around rustic vintage details, burlap, old wood serving and display pieces, mixed vintage china, and wildflowers, with soft hues and lighting (that being said, I’d love to cover the small side table in the second photo with a burlap tablecloth). I like a soft sage green or lavender as a color. Better yet, a slate blue. What design details would you make part of a “rustic barn” wedding theme? Sigh…this is way too fun.
In any case, start collecting pieces now. (Why not?) Even if you’re not getting married, most of these vintage details translate nicely into the home. For example…
