Yet more DIY wedding inspiration. Simple colourful flowers in some vintage vase jugs can look so stylish as your centre pieces, or dotted around the garden for that summer wedding. The flowers you wouldn’t even need to buy from a florist, any fresh flowers would look nice from your local M&S. Remember to buy them on the morning of your wedding to guarantee they are freshly cut the day before, so will last that little bit longer!
If you haven’t yet decided on the colour of your wedding then why no opt for yellow. Its been a popular choice this summer and will continue into next year. Its an unusual colour to go for which is why its so nice. Add a hint of blue, green or gold its so effective and looks very vintage if that’s the style you’re looking for. And of course white gives the look a fresh all over feel. Image found on Ruffled.com

I’m sure you’re all aware of the Style me Pretty wedding blog which covers the US and I think is the most amazing wedding blog on earth. Well, I’ve found a UK equivalent which seems equally as nice with some great ideas and inspirations, called Ruffled. I found these sources of inspiration really helped when I got married. The photography is outstanding and it makes you just want everything you see. Check out the DIY section to cut down your on costs. It really will help you with ideas!
…then you just have to take a look at this beautiful cake which I found on The Roxy Cake blog. Each individual peony is hand made from icing and the colours as you can see are to die for. You’d be mad not to like it!
There’s still a child in all of us, so why don’t you treat your guests to a table to sweet delights rather than the traditional wedding favours! Simply place an empty bag on each table and let your guests fill up at their own leisure. I went to a wedding recently that did exactly this, it was so much fun and the kids loved it too!
It’s always useful to have something on a table for your guests to leave their wedding cards. Why not try this idea, a bird cage, which looks not only vintage but a little different as well. Bird cages have also been very popular as centre pieces for the tables. You can add candles or flowers to complete the look.
You just cannot beat a Martha Stewart wedding cake. Made to perfection, a real talking point, just beautiful. She has some great wedding ideas on her website www.marthastewart.com/
Why not save the pennies and create your own vintage wedding table. You can collect crockery and various other items from car boot sales, charity shops and other brick a brack shops around your area. You’ll be surprised what you can pick up for 50p when next door they’re selling it for £20.00. Its definately worth looking around. All things vintage is a hot topic and has been for a while now so get out there and create your own style, it not only looks great but can be a fraction of the price.
Why go for the traditional wedding cake when you can choose something a little more unique like this divided homemade cake. It not only looks delicious but it’s things litle this that will add to your vintage DIY wedding and something more personal to you, and of course a fraction of the price!
