 Vintage Wedding Themes are the latest trend and many couples like to have classic-style weddings with various vintage trappings. While it may seem like an easy task to plan these weddings, it really can be quite challenging to get all the elements right and to ensure that the theme flows seamlessly through the invitations, décor, reception setting, the furniture choice and embellishments etc. However, the best way to go about this is to hire the services of a company that specialises in Vintage Wedding Hire.

We at Adorable Wedding Concepts are one of the leading outdoor ceremony and wedding decorators; and couples from far and wide hire our expert services to ensure their wedding venue looks as unique and stunning as they want it to be. Planning a Vintage Wedding Theme is a lot about creating an ambience that has the romanticism of the past. This theme is typically carried through the bride’s wedding dress and her hair styling, the groom’s attire, the entire setting and cutlery and food etc.

We have the creativity, knowledge and experience to provide superb, customised vintage wedding idea options that will fit perfectly into your budget. We know that you will have some specific ideas about how you want everything planned and we always keep these in view while providing various concepts and design themes.  Some couples that approach us want an entirely vintage affair, while others prefer that the wedding and reception be more modern, with just a smattering of well-placed historic detailing.

How we create the vintage effect

Regardless of what your personal preferences are, we can cater to your specific requirements. Even when you plan on having vintage style favours and invites, the only way to get the perfect vintage effect is to create the right mood at the venue, and that is what we help with. The different things we can do are:

  • Organise for everything at a barn or any other rustic setting
  • Create a shabby-chic reception venue
  • We use the right design and colours and the fabrics and sashes we use for various features at the venue determine what the look will be. We choose materials and hues that complement the theme and venue
  • The flower arrangements and other decorative features will also be styled on a traditional theme
  • The type of lighting that is installed at the wedding venue plays a significant role in the overall effect of your Vintage Wedding Theme Ideas. We focus on using mood lighting and add elements such as timeless chandeliers and antique holders over the reception tables and other strategic locations across the wedding venue. The runners and table skirting etc. will also fit in perfectly with the vintage theme.

We use detailing the best and most well-finished décor to create spaces that are beautiful and have the timeless appeal you want at your wedding venue. We are the multiple award-winning decorators that can provide you the kind of Vintage Wedding Decorations you need.
