We are in the beginning stages of the wedding planning, and like most girls I have it planned out in my head. The only problem I'm running into is finding some inspiration boards/photos to show my FI and our families what it is that I want!

Colors:

Gold, Dusty Rose, Peach, Vintage Green, Maybe throw in some brown/tan

I'm trying to plan on a budget so instead of flower centerpieces I am going to use vintage oil lamps that my mother has a collection of.I'm hoping to do as much as possible DIY

Summer Wedding, Tent with vintage chandeliers and white lights, Ivory Tablecloths

Does anyone have any ideas to add to my thoughts? I love hearing new ideas and would love to see some photos with my color palatte in mind!

i really like this wedding featured on here a few months back: http://www.weddingbee.com/2009/03/27/married-in-montana-all-in-the-details-part-2-of-2/#more-88480

i love the details of the vintage mason jars, classic coke bottles, DIY stationary, and homemade favors. it has more of a aged-rustic feel, but you could remix some of these detail ideas in your wedding.

if your town/city has any cool vintage shops (i wouldnt suggest thrift stores cause they are SO hit or miss...but the more expensive vintage stores that only carry the best finds....) get to searching! my FI got his suit from a vintage store for under $100 and its so freakin cool! plus, you can look for unique jewelry, hairpeices, and other accessories there too.

Also you can try sticking to certain fabrics or materials that stir up a vintage feel...like lace...or brass...if they appear a lot in your wedding they will create the vibe youre looking for.

just some ideas off the top of my head...hope that helps :)

I am also going vintage. mason jars go a long way or course and nothing beats candles. We've found that paper lanterns or the 36'' mylar balloons add a ton of color for a small price. Also bunting flags could be pretty. Sorry, only got what's gone through my head for my own wedding. Just posted pictures if you'd like to see.
