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!
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.
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!
Its so important for every little detail to look perfect, even down to your guest book table. Take a look at this lovely vintage style table layout above, with scattered black and white family photos…divine!

This fantastic bouquet was found on a great blog called ‘Nibs’ and made by the blog owner so not from a specific florist but nevertheless, beautiful! Lovely summer colours for that vintage style wedding. I love the dark burgandy mixed in with a range of scents to complete. The photography also caught my eye with that rustic edge to finish off this photo!

But she doesnt only do dresses and fashion, she also designs and sells exquisite tableware and other items that would make very elegant and generous gifts.
