We love the feel of a rustic table set up outside for dinner on a beautiful evening...perfect for a small, intimate wedding dinner too. Such a great opportunity to decorate the table with antique pieces and beautiful flowers and rounding up a mix of rustic seating too...

Where do we go when we want wedding vintage inspiration? To this amazing blog...
Ruffled {formerly Vintage Glam Weddings} is such an inspiring place to get wedding ideas with a nod to vintage details...be it the dress, the cake or even the font on the invitations...it's definitely one of our daily reads!
We love adding just a touch of vintage decor to a tablescape at a wedding! Consider using an assortment of old tins to hold flowers versus the more typical glass squares or cylinders. You instantly get something lovely and unique! Start collecting tins early to find a variety and be sure to have your florist line them with another container since many have rusted spots that will leak.

We get a lot of questions on where to buy things we've featured on Vintage Wednesdays...like antique keys and other places. One online shop we LOVE to browse around at is Three Potato Four. They sell new + old things that make great wedding/decor props. Here are some vintage-y things we are loving currently in their shop and some ideas on how you can use these items...
Check out our previous post on using vintage keys
These old cash register keys would look cute as table numbers or even as place cards {you could tie names to the keys}
Love the look of antique jars holding flowers...especially little bottles in clusters on a table
Our stay in Vegas this week has us loving these wedding pictures of famous couples from the past who have been married here...
Joanne Woodward + Paul Newman January 29, 1959
Priscilla + Elvis Presley May 1, 1967
We are M-A-D about Mad Men and loved this season's festive Derby Party held under a big tent, with kelly green and white stripped curtains.
Red roses, chains of green vines and preppy arrangements set the tone for this fun party which would easily be translated to a stunning reception. Why not make a statement with some of the elements from Mad Men's sleek soiree for a fun + vintage twist?
Serve mint juleps in metal cups
Use details in pinks+ kelly green + reds for a preppy tone

Giving your wedding a vintage vibe can happen after the wedding...when the film is developed. Check out these images from the Holga camera that give images a truly vintage look...
One of the easiest things you can do to dress up table decor + incorporate vintage details is to use a mix + match of china patterns that compliment one another. These are easy to find at just about any antique market, yard sale or even in your own grandmother's attic. Loving the way these were used for a wedding...
