Wedding Trend {Vintage}

Vintage is a huge wedding trend this year & it's easy to see why with it's simple, soft, and elegant feel. Vintage is really another word for Antique; so it's about bringing in an older style & using it in a modern way. Items such as lace, ribbon, brooches, colorful antique glass vases, & soft floral arrangements are perfect for this style. The best part of vintage is that you can really insert your own personality as well as family history with personal items from grandparents & other relatives. It's a very DIY budget friendly trend as well because you can collect items from thrift stores, family members, & even retail stores (such as IKEA) who are now starting to caterer to this new trend. Vintage has a very electric vibe which means it's not a matchy matchy style, so you can get away with anything & really let your creativity run wild. Here are a few examples of this beautiful new trend....

Vendor Spotlight {Iron Star Hall}

Bertram, TX {about 45min away from Austin}

This Event/Wedding venue is a beautiful and spacious two story facility. The uniqueness of the Iron Star Hall comes with its design of dark wood and stained glass elegance.

This venue has a weekend special! Two days for the price of one! This is a huge bonus so that setting up for the wedding is not a rushed process and the venue can be used to hold a rehearsal dinner.

At this location chairs, tables (both round and rectangle), a gazebo, bridal suite, private bathrooms and a caterers prep kitchen are included in the venue's package.

Real Wedding {Kristen & Chris}

Kristen & Chris had a stunning downtown Austin Wedding. They were so in love and their joy was absolutely contagious. They wanted to incorporated personal touches into every aspect of their wedding, so we had her grandmother's handmade roses by the guest book, their new family coat of arms put on the favor boxes, and they made their exit to "Meet me in St. Louis" in honor of their soon to be home. We had so much fun planning this wedding and turning their vision into reality!
