Vintage Wedding Flowers

It seems that vintage, antique, old century or period wedding affairs gain more and more in popularity this year. In fact, they are about to explode. Most contemporary brides are willing to plan a traditional vintage classy, stylish, refined and delicate wedding rather than a formal, elaborated or simply modern wedding.




Brides of today who would kill for this style have lots of possibilities and unique ways of decorating the wedding or dressing in this style. Vintage means fashionable, chic, sleek, dainty, classy, simply sophisticated, eye-catchy, glamorous, glittering, casual and elegant. The most suitable colors for vintage weddings are ivory, egg-white, eggplant, peachy, gold, silver, bronze, pearl gray, lime green, pale blue, blush, baby pink, navy blue, chocolate brown, orange, maroon, burgundy, purple or light violet.

There are many ways to combine these gorgeous colors so you can obtain a fade sepia antique look. But what to do when it comes to the vintage wedding flowers? What is there to choose from? Well, first of all, when we think of vintage wedding flowers out mind floats above romantic book pressed flowers that have a special and unique charm, beauty, meaning and texture. Do you remember how you used to keep the flowers received from admirers inside notebooks or books just to preserve them in some sort of a loving memory? Well, this is what vintage wedding flowers is or can be all about.

Try to keep it as organic, natural and antique as possible. Among the most suitable types of vintage wedding flowers that you can use for your wedding are lilacs, lavender, hibiscus, freesias, gladiolas, roses, carnations, peonies, lisianthus, hydrangeas, stocks, delphiniums, calla lilies, thistle, chrysanthemum daises or eucalyptus. All these types of vintage wedding flowers can be found in shades of white, ivory, cream, peach, light blue, pale pink or chocolate brown. Another idea is to use dry flowers to evoke the vintage atmosphere and mood in a very unique way.

A dried up wedding bouquet will always look golden enough to use it as a vintage symbol for a themed wedding. You can tie up a dried wedding bouquet with matching ropes or wrap it with lace, beaded taffeta or other golden ribbons or bows.

Posy wedding bouquet styles make the perfect look for a vintage wedding. Adorn the bouquet with pearls, crystals, diamonds, feathers, sequins, rhinestones, gems or any other vintage accessory that you have. Instead of using traditional vases for the table centerpieces, use parrot cages, glass bowls, baskets, hand painted pots with deco art motifs or lanterns that you can fill with candles, floating petals, seashells or any other decorative element that can match the theme. Replace the flowered centerpiece arrangements with antique dusty books, sticks or fashionable vintage mirror vases.
