Wedding refers to those events that are unique. After all, no one thinks that he will marry or remarry. So a wedding with full responsibility can be attributed to those holidays that happen only once in a lifetime. The idea of a wedding should be a reflection of the “world” of these particular men and women and their particular relationships. Probably, the choice
of wedding style depends not only on the imagination, aesthetic ideas of the bride and groom, but also on their general “sense of life”. Not every couple will make such a choice -
a vintage wedding
. After all, such a wedding will require a very large amount of information, knowledge and skills. This means not only an
“unusual wedding”: ideas for such a wedding need to be invented by ourselves, and most of the details are handcrafted. And such an approach will certainly require certain knowledge, skills.
A vintage wedding , as an event that needs to be organized, is not very different from an ordinary wedding:
1. Creative part : development of a general wedding concept, scenario development, development of a common style.
2. Organizational part : choosing a place, developing a route, arranging transport, selecting a photographer, video operator, stylist, toastmaster, choosing a dress and costume, making a guest list, ordering invitations, decorations for the hall, cars, selecting a menu, compiling a music sheet and selecting a musical equipment and DJ, drawing up a common budget.
3. The implementation of the wedding .
However, a wedding in a vintage style will require large investments both in the sense of finance, as well as in the sense of fantasy and personal time.
Start with deciding on the topic. That is, you need to decide what time the vintage wedding will belong to:
- by the 1930s;
- 1940-1950 years;
- 1960-1970 years;
- Victorian era.
After that, it is better to "plunge" into the life that was happening then. Old photographs, for example, will help to “feel” that time. Having looked through the magazines of wedding fashion, you can decide on the models of dresses and suits, then choose the melodies of the corresponding style. Having found cards, see what design, what color scheme and which ornaments are more suitable for a wedding. It is necessary to choose the main motive, for example, for the 1970s - this is the geometric shape of the crystal.
The era is expressed as if with wide bright strokes, although you can completely “lose” the wedding in one or another style. Throughout the holiday, details should be striking. In the Victorian era , the bird motif was very fashionable. At the entrance, for example, you can put a cage with canaries, and place napkin holders in feathers, there should also be birds on the name cards. Accordingly, feathers will be the main element of the decor. Although you should not limit yourself to one element, you should also not choose more than three.
The menu should also reflect the era. Of course, it is almost impossible to make the whole banquet entirely from recipes, for example, the 1940s, but it is quite possible to find a cookbook to prepare a wedding cake and desserts or snacks.
In general, if a vintage wedding is being organized, the following points should be considered:
- All elements of the decor should match the style of the chosen era.
- You need to choose two or three colors that define the overall color scheme.
- The main decor motive should be defined.
- We need to work out the main elements of the decor.
And joy, and smiles, and guests, and surprise, and delight, and forget-me-not flowers - this is a wedding day in vintage style!
