Show off your wedding memories with lots of pictures of you and your groom.
A series of black and white photos look good on a table next to the couple. Look for vintage frames that still have plenty of life in them.
They can be painted in the colors you’re using for your wedding. Line them on a small ladder you’ve cut down to fit the table then sanded and painted to your own taste.
Older glass that still has some use in it can be added to your tables as your guests drink.
Paint the name of the couple on the side along with the date for something special that guests can use again and again.
The bridal table also benefits from lots of other welcome detail. Cut out vintage lace from a tablecloth you aren’t using anymore. Drape it across the side of the table.
Add older lanterns that you’ve updated with a new coat of paint. This is one way to add lots of charming and romantic lighting that shows off your best features.
The bride and her bridal party can repurpose older gowns. Many older gowns are well made with lots of beautiful detail.
Your mom’s old wedding dress can be made to fit you with a few easy alterations. Bridesmaids can save money by looking to their own closets.
A series of gowns in the same basic style or matching colors makes a pretty picture as you stand in front of the receiving line.
Making things old new again is very much in keeping with your wedding day. Vintage wedding decorations are a great way to recycle and add charming details.
