Vintage Wedding Ideas and Tips
List of 10 top tips and vintage wedding ideas from http://www.littlemisswedding.co.uk
1. Mix new with authentic vintage items to create a retro feel with a fresh perspective for the 21st century bride.
2. The venue is hugely important in achieving the look, if you can’t find somewhere with the appropriate architecture or decor consider a plain backdrop such as a marquee or a glass structured building like an orangery against which your vintage details will stand out.
3. Choose your photographer well. A good photographer will be able to create retro style photographs by using different exposures, lighting and journalistic shots.
4. Be prepared to research – vintage dresses, accessories and often perfect venues are easily found in mainstream wedding shops and websites.
5. Live music will really give you a vintage feel over a DJ. Ask the band members to dress according to your chosen era, including hair and make-up for the ladies to give you ultimate authenticity.
6. Consider giving guests something vintage themed as their favour. For example if you are doing an American 1950s themed wedding, put lolly pops in vintage popcorn cases – this will make fantastic photographs when your guests dig in!
7. A wedding planner will really take the stress of planning all this detail away, however if you’d rather plan the wedding yourself you can still go to specialists to help source vintage wedding suppliers. LeKeux Events have fact sheets and even a ‘Vintage Wedding Starter Kit’ which can be purchased at tiny prices and will save you tons of time!
8. Be confident in your styling, commit to the look through your hair and make-up and get a skilled professional to help to achieve an authentic look. Vintage glamour is the ultimate in celebrating all that is feminine and sexy! Soon to come Vintage hair and make up tips.
9. Ask Granny! You’ll be amazed what you can beg, borrow and steal for your vintage wedding. Whether it’s Granny’s pearls, old lace table cloths or teacups, you’ll find something in those cupboards to help you achieve your vintage look.
10. Lastly…enjoy it! Choosing to have a vintage wedding doesn’t have to be about getting every detail perfect, so don’t sweat it if you can’t find everything you’re looking for, just enjoy being a glamorous vintage goddess for a day!

The Rise of The Vintage Wedding Theme!
Here at Kliq Weddings we love unique, creative and personal Weddings. We also love the chic and stylish look of Vintage wedding themes. We have noticed that the popularity of Vintage Weddings is still growing! A few years ago people were saying that the trend was just a fad and would soon be forgotten, however....it is still as popular as ever! So why?
Vintage Weddings conjure up a more simple, peaceful time where the pace of life was slower which is the complete opposite of modern living. A vintage wedding can be the perfect sort of escapism from the stresses and strains of the modern world. Vintage weddings seem to be more relaxed and don't follow the rigidity of formal weddings and above all lets the happy couple be more relaxed and actually enjoy their day!
From a photographers point of view, vintage weddings can be the most creative and fun types of wedding to shoot. A relaxed atmosphere gives you relaxed, emotional and happy people...A must for beautiful photographs!
What do you need for a Vintage Wedding? Where do we start! You need to ask yourself: Am I looking for a specific period or a general vintage theme? If you are looking for a period then the internet is a great resource for researching vintage weddings. Also talk to people (if possible) that got married in the era that you are interested in to find out about their wedding day. Also ask to see their pics! Look for suppliers who specialise in vintage clothing hire, vintage cars from the period, cake makers vintage flower experts, vintage dress makers and photographers and videographers that can shoot in a vintage style. If you are looking for a more general theme then charity and second hand shops can unearth loads of vintage gems! Also make sure that you research appropriate venues where your theme can come alive!
A couple of popular themes in the UK at the moment are farm/country weddings and beach weddings. These weddings are some of the most chilled and relaxed weddings we have ever come across! A farm./country wedding can involve vintage dresses, tweed suits, wild flowers in milk urns, beautiful decorated barns...the list goes on! Look for venues that have outside weddings and barn out buildings to make this type of wedding come alive!
A beach wedding is my absolute favourite as a photographer! I love the colours, sounds and above all relaxed and happy people to take photos of! What could be better then turning up to your wedding in a vintage VW camper van, wearing a vintage 60's dress! You don't even have to live near the coast! Choose a venue that lets you eat outside and informally, you may think about having a bbq! You could decorate the venue with beach type accessories and ask guests to wear relaxed linen suits and beach type dresses.
So where do you start to plan a vintage wedding? We get asked this a lot! That got us thinking....What if we could try and get together with all the other vintage wedding suppliers that are dotted around the UK? What if there was some central source that Brides could visit to help them plan their vintage wedding? After a good few months of networking, talking to friends and meeting with suppliers all over the country we found some amazing, creative and talented people. Great you might be thinking...that's great for you...what about for my wedding?! The second part of our plan was then devised. We decided to create a central website where all the best vintage wedding experts that we found could come together to show there work so that if you are planning a vintage wedding in the UK you have one site to visit. A one stop vintage wedding shop! We decided to call this venture: The Vintage Theme Wedding Company!
We planned the website along with our founding partner Clare Luke at The Traditional Vintage Flower Company and it has just gone live this week! The site isn't quite finished yet as we are still receiving examples and wording from some of our suppliers but we are pleased to say that we have photography, videography, flowers and cake areas of the site up and running!

Linda Marie Silk Flowers
We met Linda Defriend of Linda Marie Silk flowers at the Reid Rooms Wedding Show on Sunday. We were really impressed by her silk flowers, in fact I though they were real at first! There are many advantages to having silk flowers at your wedding, for example, if you have them in your bouquet then you will be able to keep them forever which is impossible with natural flowers. If you would like to contact Linda you can email her: lindadefriend@gmail.com or call 07415 133000. I took some pics of Linda's work to show all our blog readers. Here are some of them!:
