Hi Fairy bugs,
yuck! What a wash out of a morning! Lets hope it moves of swiftly.
We have been bibbidi bobbidi boo-ing around for you this week to create a Rustic berry fuelled mood board, to inspire and possibly share themes with you that you may not have considered.
So lets begin!
There are a huge gang of vintage lovers out there, and they certainly know how to showcase the look with conviction. There are also those who the love the idea of a vintage theme but don't know how to execute the look, or choose to have a muted version of the trend. So this one is for you.
Key areas to bring the vinatge -esque details are: The flowers, stationary and if you are brave enough the dress. Now you don't need anything to out there in terms of finding that one off dress in a specialised boutique. You can however opt for the safer yet striking lace with beading options. Depending on your body shape you could go for floating long lines or for a bustier fit and flare dress. Look out for 3D florals detailing and mix and match lace. These new bang on trend features with give you the edge.
When it comes to the flowers.......be brave, mix and match to achieve the wild look. If this is a step to far then go for a mix of deep berry's with natural colours in large more statement florals such as, roses, hydrangeas, calla lilly's etc. The foliage will be key, getting the right mix is vital in showing off your vintage knowledge. If you get stuck there is amazing imagery to help on pinterest. You could print your favourites and take them with you to your florist, pointing out the main details you like.
Areas in which you can reign in the theme are the bridesmaid dresses, groomsmen attire and cake. In each of these areas you can be bold on colour - so mix up the berry tones with off white or cream and look for textural fabrics for the dresses and waistcoats, such as, slub silk, waffle satins, grosgrain. They will be in keeping with your low key vintage but will not draw attention the areas so much. with regards to the cake keep it simple yet stylish! As shown below the cake has a fabulous texture to the outside, but speaks volumes with a few strategically placed flowers.
Remember be true to what you love! Instincts are great so if you get an instant feeling whether love or hate.......go with it. enjoy xx
