If you desire a relaxed look for your ceremony and reception
venue, then the “Rustic Vintage” style could well be perfect
for your wedding. So what next?
Hit the second hand shops! Vintage shopping is a great place
to start, try and find old suitcases, vintage glasses, vases,
wooden crates, boxes, tins, buckets and even tea cups. Ask
family and friends to help by collecting and recycling jam jars.
Don’t have time to go hunting? Event stylists and florists may
have similar pieces that you can hire to create this look.
Once all the rustic vintage items have been sourced then
just add beautiful, soft feminine and romantic blooms. Perfect
examples from the above images include David Austin roses,
peonies, ranunculi, poppies, hyacinth, astilbe, tuber roses,
lavender, andromeda, daisies, sweet peas, gypsophila, freesias,
scabiosa pods, and natural native foliage.
Bouquets are relaxed and created with that ‘just picked from
the garden’ look. Remember accents such as hessian, twine,
grosgrain ribbon, lace and heirloom brooches to embellish
and you are well on your way to creating the Rustic Vintage
Style.
