Start searching yard sales and such. You never know what you will find. I went to one that was being held by a company that had bought an old nursery and they were selling off everything that was left. I was able to buy 2 big antique windows. They have 8 smaller panes, and I am going to "frame" a picture in each frame and nail them to a tree. I also got two big, antique wooden boxes (about 2'x2'x4') I am going to make some cushions to go on top and they will serve as a couch in the "lounge" area. I spent $14 on all 4 pieces. Another thing we found was two small wooden chairs at goodwill, like what you may have found in a classroom 30 years ago. We are going to place them by the stand holding the menu and put potted plants on them.
It took me a while to be able to visualize what to do with stuff, so I was afraid to buy anything. Just keep looking at websites for inspiration and going to yards sales/thrift stores. Eventually "great finds" will speak to you and your creative side will kick into gear! Good luck!
Have you seen Mrs. DG's wedding pictures? She posted them in this thread. Click on the link to her photographer's blog and scroll to "Vicki and Chris." I think they had one of the most beautiful and stylish weddings I've seen. :) Especially look at DG's style (her dress, her accessories, her bouquet, etc...), which all scream "vintage" to me. Anyway, I hope she doesn't mind me whoring out her pictures, but I do think her wedding was beautiful. Maybe you'll be inspired, too!
We had our wedding at a State Park Lodge and went sort of rustic. I don't have all my pictures back yet, but for the most part I decorated with mason jars with flowers and candles and used lights and more candles all over. I think it really came out nice and went well with the lodge. When I get more pictures, let me know if you want to see more of what we did and I can send them to you.

I recently had to change my reception to a more rustic-style than what I origionally thought we were going to do (which was a tented reception). So, does anyone know some ways to class up a rustic style environment? I need some ideas in color schemes (it's a spring wedding), or if you know of anyway to incorporate a vintage feel into that, I would greatly appreciate it!
