Vintage weddings are gorgeous and honestly one of my favorite types of weddings! They’re so fun and whimsical. Be sure you know how to create yours.

Vintage weddings are still very popular – and not without reason. Fun, whimsical, and timeless, a vintage-themed wedding can wow the guests and make for some pretty unforgettable memories.

How do you pull it off? We have gathered some tips for you, so read on and find out more.

·         The venue. If you have your heart set on a vintage wedding, you’re in luck because almost any type of venue can accommodate this theme. From old mansions to rustic-chic barns, most venues can be turned into vintage-touched locations.

·         The flowers. Your wedding flowers are quite important, so make sure you pick flowers that will help you create that whimsical vintage vibe. Hydrangeas, baby breaths and wildflowers are especially great – but there are many others that could be gorgeously used as vintage floral arrangements.

·         

The colors. Want to make sure your color palette matches the theme? Beige and, in general, neutral colors can really create a “dusty” but very elegant appeal to the entire wedding. Combine them with soft pastels and with glamorous ornaments (especially if you want to create a Roaring Twenties-inspired Big Day).

·         Music. As you may very well know it, music can also be extremely important when it comes to creating a special atmosphere. Welcome your guests with a live band and songs from the decade(s) that inspired your wedding theme and your tunes will perfectly complement the entire wedding day concept!

Your wedding flowers will highlight your big day, choose them wisely!

Flowers and weddings will always go hand in hand. In fact, flowers are so deeply rooted in the wedding tradition that even if you choose to have a more modern wedding, you will still at least consider the option of having some florals used for your Big Day’s décor!

How can you be wise about the flowers you pick for your wedding day? We’re glad you asked.  We have some tips for you – so read on and find out more.

• Be very diligent with your budget (and with sticking to it as well). It can be very tempting to go overboard and order tulips from across the Ocean to get that perfect shade – but before you do that, think twice and analyze your priorities.
• Speaking of priorities, of all the flowers you will have on your wedding day, your bouquet may be one of the most important “arrangements”. Just think of it! This is the gorgeous accessory you will wear as you walk down the aisle – so it is only normal to want it to be truly unique and personal!
• If you want to save more money on your florals, be prepared to choose arrangements that can be easily used both for the ceremony and reception. With a few minor changes and tweaks, your ceremony arrangements can be superbly transformed into awe-inspiring centerpieces for the reception!
• Last, but not least, be open minded about your décor vendors’ suggestions. She/he knows best when it comes to what flowers are in season, what flowers are trendy and what flowers will do best for your budget and for the environment you will bring them in. Listen well and be ready to add a bit of flexibility to your ideas!

Create tasty herb-infused signature cocktails for your wedding!

Serving unique signature cocktails at your wedding is a genuinely wonderful idea that will add a very special touch to the entire big day. But why serve herb-infused cocktails you ask? What are some of the best herb and cocktail combinations to serve your guests? We have gathered some tips for you – read on and find out more to inspire yourself. 

• Lemonade and spirits. This is an all-time classic, but there’s a very good reason combining lemonade and spirits has become so popular: the flavor combination works amazingly. For an herb-infused lemonade and spirits cocktail, add some gorgeous scented lavender. This is absolutely perfect especially if you plan on having a wedding with pink or purple shades!• Mango and mint. Want to serve a summer drink that’s delicious from all points of view? A cocktail with a mango base will add that typical summer sweetness and warmth, while mixing mint leaves into the cocktail will make it more refreshing and more suitable for an outdoor wedding in high temperatures.
• Pimm’s cup. Delicious and refreshing, this staple drink would work marvelously with mint leaves and cucumber slices instead of the traditional fruit in it! Try it and your guests will be more than delighted with this cocktail!
• Ice tea mocktail. If you plan on having a non-alcoholic cocktail at your wedding too, ice tea is a really amazing option. Refreshing and sweet, it will be more than suitable for kids and adults who don’t or can’t drink alcohol. Plus, if you choose to serve a mint ice tea or peach it will add a pop of color!

Choose table décor that will make your wedding reception gorgeous!

Your wedding reception should be about you: your relationship, your personality and your unique sense of style. And while other parts of the décor are definitely important, it is really essential that you put some extra-care into how you choose your table décor.

How to do it? Here are some tips to help you create a table décor that’s gorgeous:

• If your tables are round, be sure to play with shapes, color, layers and details. For example, adding square shapes to a round table will create contrast and uniqueness, while designing the entire table in one basic color and adding accents of brighter colors will make it look vibrant and elegant at the same time. Furthermore, grouping centerpieces in “batches” of three can also make your round table décor pop with originality.
• If your tables are square, keep in mind that they can look too rigid if you don’t find the right balance. Place an equal number of chairs on each side, but also soften up the décor with cushions and fabrics that are welcoming and elegant. Don’t forget to match the roughness of the square tables with a combination of dark and vibrant colors.
• If your tables are long estate tables, play up the shape by using long plates and tall centerpieces. Also, focus the décor in the middle part of the tables by using a graphic or floral runner – it will add elegance and grace to the entire décor, making it truly beautiful.

Make sure you know all of your duties as the Groom!

Weddings and wedding planning are too frequently associated with the bride – and while this may draw its roots in an archaic patriarchal society, it surely has no place in a world where women can choose to be rulers and men can choose to be stay-at-home-dads.

As the groom, you know the Big Day is just as important for you as it is for your lovely bride-to-be. What are some of your duties for this special event, though? Here are some things you should definitely keep in mind:

• Listen. She is very stressed out and she needs to know you are listening – even when you don’t understand exactly what “chiffon”, “mint green” and “blush peonies” are. Listen to her, be her friend, her confident and, more than anything, her sounding board when it comes to planning this huge event in your lives.

• Share your opinion. When she asks you for your opinion, she really needs to hear you saying it out loud. She wants you to be just as happy as she is with the wedding-related choices, so you should make sure to truly communicate with her.

• Don’t be indifferent. Sooner or later, there will be something you might want to include in the Big Day – and if you haven’t actively participated in making the decisions until now, it may come as hurtful or unexpected for the bride. Communicate with your fiancé, tell her about your honest opinions and say when you want something to be in the wedding. No matter how much she loves you, she will never be able to read your mind.

Make sure your guests thoroughly enjoy your wedding cocktail hour!

Although not a very old tradition, the cocktail hour has become so common among couples getting married that it is almost surprising not to have one at your wedding. And while a cocktail hour may be the perfect opportunity for you and your spouse to disappear and shoot some photos, it should also be really entertaining and fun for your guests too.

How to make sure your guests thoroughly enjoy your wedding cocktail hour? We have some tips you might want to keep in mind:

• The drinks. The best way to surprise your guests at the cocktail hour is by serving them with a delicious signature drink created especially for this moment. Also, having an open bar and serving non-alcoholic options are both extremely good ideas you should consider.
• The food. You don’t have to serve anything too fancy or too expensive at the cocktail hour. However, the passed hors d’oeuvres you serve now should be really tasty and they should increase guest’s anticipation for the upcoming reception. That doesn’t mean you can’t serve anything sweet at the cocktail hour, though. On the contrary! A delicious seasonal fruit tart will open everyone’s appetite for the big dinner!
• The music. Don’t leave your guests in silence. Regardless of whether you choose to work with a band or a DJ, you should make sure to create a relaxing and positive playlist for the cocktail hour too.
• The entertainment. Want to make sure people are having fun? Provide them with some simple games (board games, outdoor games or “ice breakers”) and they will surely love the idea!
• The seats. Just because this is a cocktail hour doesn’t mean your guests should simply stand and walk around. Provide them with some comfortable lounge seats and they will be sure to thank you!

Can you have a mismatched number of bridesmaids and groomsmen?

Your bridesmaids and groomsmen are more than important to you. They are your best friends, your closest relatives and the people whom you have chosen to be there for you as you walk down the aisle, spell out the big “I Do” and party along with everyone else.

Naturally, you want everything about your bridesmaids and groomsmen to be perfect. Does that include an even number on each side, though? Can you have a mismatched number of bridesmaids and groomsmen? We have some tips you might want to keep in mind – so read on and find out more.

Yes, you can definitely have a mismatched number of bridesmaids and groomsmen. And the reason you can do this is very simple, actually: you don’t have to feel obliged to add an “extra” to your side of the wedding party just because your future spouse has done it.

• In fact, having a mismatched number of bridesmaids and groomsmen should pose no problem whatsoever. If you are worried that doing this will look odd in the pictures, think again: this is a wonderful opportunity to pull off some really creative and fun photos with your wedding party!

• Furthermore, walking down the aisle shouldn’t be an issue either. Simply match one or two of the bridesmaids with a groomsman on each side (or the other way around) and everything will be just fine.

• Last, but definitely not least, you don’t have to worry about the way this will look during the ceremony either. Simply add chairs at the altar so that the wedding party can sit or arrange them in a way that makes it less obvious they are not equal (of course, if this is something that you want – if not, nobody will mind that you have 5 bridesmaids and 6 groomsmen standing at the altar with you and your future spouse).
