Vintage aesthetics have been in vogue in recent years, showing that old-fashioned layouts always revalue. At Eduardo Perrone, we use vintage decoration especially for weddings, mostly because the early 90s style adds a touch of sweet, pure and delicate sense of romance.
Vintage designs suit perfectly in outdoor celebrations, just like 20s wedding trends, when ceremonies took place in backyards, forests or hills. There’s a patron you can start to follow: the best seasons for these weddings are spring and fall.
Before deciding your vintage wedding decoration, you must know all the details and strategic corners of the set. Firstly, sketch the location of your sweet tables, buffet or bar, and start your decoration concept around it.
A vintage wedding has…
- Chandeliers: they have always been symbols of elegance and royalty, their sweet lighting provides intimacy and mystery on every occasion. You must have at least one ornamental chandelier in the salon on your wedding day. Besides, the soft lighting is a classic feature of old times.
Pink and cream colors: they relate to vintage romanticism and a classic ideal of femininity. Since those days, the wedding design is a tribute of love and specially highlights the importance of the bride. But, if you are not into pink, you can personalize your decoration by adding another color to your palette and mix it with cream tones. Soft nuances are at the heart of vintage aesthetics.
- Roses: “The rose is without an explanation; she blooms, because she blooms. Angelus Silesius.” This quote sums up the perception that people had about roses in the early 90s. These flowers were the vivid ideal of beauty, pureness and love… Nobody needed to explain it, just feel it. That’s why we recommend to add floral arrangements with different kinds of roses, it will provide a touch of bucolic romance.
- Old-fashioned complements: choose three or four old-fashioned items as focal points in special areas such, as the entrance or the sweet stations, this will highlight your vintage wedding concept.
- Contrasts: in the old times, rustic and elegant features lived together in harmony. You can combine wooden floors with silky fabrics, minimalistic crockery with opulent glassware.
