Vintage Wedding Centerpieces

Vintage wedding centerpieces are becoming more sought after as the theme of a vintage wedding becomes more popular. Here are some ideas that you could incorporate into decorating your reception that will compliment the rest of the wedding.

If you're thinking of having flowers in your centrepiece, you should choose traditional styles and varieties. If you think of an English country garden then you won't go far wrong. Flowers that you could use include stocks, roses, freesias and chrysanthemums.

Choose flower colors that are understated such as cream, lilac, white and other pastel shades. The variety of rose called Cool Water is a perfect example of this, with its lilac petals and vintage appearance.

Containers for Vintage Wedding Centerpieces

Think about the containers that you will place your arrangements in. You could choose terracotta pots or rustic looking metal containers. These will blend with your theme nicely.

Another idea for vintage wedding centerpieces is to buy some traditional birdcages and decorate the insides. You can place flowers or petals inside to give color and interest. If the style is appropriate, you could also place a candle inside.

If you're having a vintage wedding, it would not matter if your wedding centerpieces did not match. This gives you lots of opportunity to use your imagination and use items that you find out carboot sales, bric-a-brac stores and thrift shops. You just have to use your imagination.

Get Inspiration for your Vintage Wedding

For more inspiration why not ask your Mom what she had at her wedding for table decorations. Or even better, ask your Grandma. Not only will they come up with some great ideas for you but imagine how pleased Gran will be if you include her in your big day.

Having a vintage wedding theme gives you lots of scope to use different types of decorations. You can use this to your advantage when choosing your vintage wedding centerpieces.
