I'm curious... I'm not. Nothing against them, it's just not my style at all. Maybe I'm in the minority, but Anthropologie looking things just don't appeal to me. Are there any sites you guys frequent? SMP and Once Wed seem to be too heavy on this style for me to look to for inspiration. That's why I love the Bee so much. Lots of different styles for me to check out.
My wedding is totally opposite from the vintagey, rustic, chic, garden style weddings. First I am marrying in the fall on Halloween in Seattle. To FH and me that means rich colors, colder temperatures, while being in the middle of a city - - not rustic barn vintage chic 
FH and I are both from CA and we wanted to have a formal city like wedding in the Pacific Northwest which is what we’re doing….We are having a Masquerade Ball themed wedding since its Halloween and our color palette inspiration is from the below image - - eggplants, plums, golds, coppers, vintage blues, slate- and I think that’s it……
Mine was a fall theme. Rather traditional with lots of leaves, pumpkins and apples. No hay bales or barns though. The one vintage thing I did was have a 57 chevy convertible as our transportation. It more was more that it was free, a convertible and cherry red.
I'm not, I love them though. I guess you could say mine will be considered more contemporary? I don't want to say modern, and it's not really traditional.
Our theme is "Romantic Beauty", so mostly modern with a woodsy feel!
Yeah, I would say we are contemporary elegance, but not modern. The wedding is a little too rural to go full modern.
I'm not, mine will be "formal city chic" with some garden elements thrown in as well (if that "theme" makes any sense, lol). I do love the Anthropologie, mismatched, vintage-y look, I just feel like I"m really bad at executing it and it feels forced for me to do it, since that's not my real style.
i feel like 90% of weddings are described as 'vintage' which...in turn, makes them a modern trend. ha!
i think many people use the word 'vintage' where they mean romantic, feminine, whimsical, etc.
i've also wondered what a "vintage modern wedding" means... that's like saying a casual/formal wedding, right?
I'm not having a vintage wedding. Although beautiful, just not my taste at all.
So many weddings I see online are vintage! I am not consciously planning a vintage wedding, but I think some touches here and there might be considered vintage. I am curious for other sites to look at too - the weddings on all the big ones often seem very similar.
Ours isn't vintage. It's cute and whimsical, but definitely not vintage. To me it just means incorporating things that are antiquey...I wouldn't say that a barn wedding is automatically vintage though because barns just scream rural/farm etc...guess I'm just too much of an outdoors person for it to mean much to me haha
not in the least! I have a very clean-cut and colorful style, and the wedding is turning out very similar! It's pretty traditional (Catholic and country-club), with bright clean colors and a simple, joyful look.
We are definitely not including vintage themes at all. While browsing the various blogs, it seems that is the only acceptable theme/decor and that you are completely out of your mind if you want anything remotely modern. They're fine for some people, but not everyone likes that style, and they should not be made to feel guilty or weird because of it. Unfortunately, the only wedding blogs and other inspirational sites only focus on vintage.
Pretty much every couple in the world except a select few aren't having legit "vintage-y" weddings! IMO the blogosphere paints an extremely slanted picture. It would be nice to see more variety.
I think they are beautiful, but I'm definitely having more of a contemporary/modern wedding. Back when I was looking for wedding inspiration in the fall, pretty much ALL I saw on the blogs were vintage weddings. By the time I started picking out the theme for my own wedding, I felt like I had just already seen so many vintage weddings that I didn't want the look for my own.
I love a vintage wedding, but ours isn't. Hell, I don't know what ours is.
Ha Scissors your too funny. Your wedding's going to fab. I wish I was a guest.
Rustic and vintage-y weddings just make for such beautiful photos...sigh! Like the rest of the posters here, I've seen a ton of them, but I haven't gotten sick of them. Ours isn't going to be one of them. More of a spring flowers/happy colors thing in a contemporary venue!
Our is also Halloween in downtown StL. We are doing more of a retro/rockabilly inspired thing with some masquerade and horror movie elements!
Check out Rock N Roll Bride. I, personally, prefer Rock N Roll Bride. She features some AMAZING weddings. She has some of the rustic, DIY-ness, but it's a much better balance than most sites.

Vintage is pretty, but I'm getting married on the beach, so my theme is...wait for it...BEACH! Yeah, I'm going for the easy option :)
Mine's more Martha-esque and somewhat beachy glam. Not vintage. Not me! I love it for others, it's just not my style though!
I think vintage-y weddings are gorgeous, but I'm not sure I could pull one off! It's not really my style...but I love looking at them!
We aren't! Ours with be fairly classic in style with definite modern touches (I like to refer to our style as "unfrilly"). We are fans of clean lines and a more modern aesthetic.
I think the vintage weddings are beautiful..they just aren't representative of our style.
I am so confused by what exactly you guys are calling a 'vintagey' wedding. Are we talking like, Grace Kelly's or Jackie Kennedy's weddings, or something different? Like Anthropologie-inspired outdoor weddings with kitschy colors and so on?
Our wedding is mostly turn-of-the century inspired: lots of Victorian-esque and ornate details, lots of gold, etc etc. But this has always been my style! It only takes a glance into my closet to see this.
I don't think ours is going to be vintage... that's not really what we're going for, but it's sounding like it would fit the definition from above.
We're a garden wedding with a conservatory room reception, so it does lend itself to a softer, more romantic feel I suppose. We are using antique silver service ware for centre piece vases, but I think the rest is fairly fresh and clean.
I'm having an "us" wedding, not a themed wedding. Vintage is pretty, but not my style.
I don't think ours is vintagey- we're going more for simple elegance and we're having it at a beautiful big house with pretty grounds. Not really vintagey.
@veganglam: when I wrote that we'r enot having a "vintage" wedding, I mean exactly the Anthropologie, style me pretty, rustic/handmade/craftsy looking weddings. To me, Jackie O/Grace Kelly are more classic/glamorous. Even though they are literally "vintage", lol.
I agree with @amanda I love to look at them!
& mine is kinda like @toffees...a bit whimsical and romantic and sweet with soft touches and woodsy elements but not "vintage"...but also very classic/traditional in parts
I've always been a fan of vintage decor and clothing, so there will be some vintage aspects to our wedding. But really, we don't have a specific wedding "theme." It's just about bright colors and pretty stuff.
I like the vintage stuff, but it's not "us."
We're calling our theme (if you can say that) "formal garden party." Ceremony is outside, reception @ a country club, colors are grass green and watermelon pink....you get the idea.
yes... maybe vintage should be replaced with Thrift Store or something. I like the look, but only when it looks and feels genuine. Some of those heavily crafted (and probably very expensive, despite the theme) weddings just seem so put on to me.
I don't think i have a theme... but I'm pretty sure vintage won't be a part of whatever we're doing. We're getting married in winter in a converted factory building with lots of exposed brick and steel. I'm still trying to work out exactly how it is going to look... but it will be urban and awesome. I kind of want it to look like a movie where the poor kids break into some abandoned building and throw out a few candles and omg its fabulous... you know what i mean? :) (what is that called? hobo chic? haha)
No we will not be having any vintage elements because it doesn't fit either of us.
I'm not. Whether the word vintage is being used correctly or not, that Style Me Pretty rustic faux vintage look is not my style at all. I don't do whimsical.
Our wedding will be sort of modern Asian. We are eloping to Thailand, and then having an at home reception inspired by our trip. The colors are orange, white, and splashes of hot pink, the food will be Thai, the flowers will be mostly orchids. I have really been inspired by pictures of Indian weddings also.
