Vintage Ideas for your 2012 Wedding

From fifties-inspired red lipstick to lace gowns, vintage revival defines the latest in wedding trends. Even if you’re planning a more modern celebration, you can infuse the charms of the Old World into your decorations subtly and gracefully. Weddings at Louisiana plantations call for a nod to the luxury of antebellum Southern décor. There is nothing more memorable for guests than unique details of your wedding that they will talk about for years to come, and exquisite detail is a hallmark of the vintage decorations. Amplify the indulgence of your special day with old-fashioned inspiration.

Brides can easily complement the grandeur of weddings at Louisiana plantations by using vintage furniture during the ceremony and reception. Victorian couches and chairs are elegant and easy to find at antique stores with intricately-carved wooden legs and whimsically-colored cushions. Instead of uncomfortable, standard wooden or folding chairs, try antique Victorian-style couches and chairs for your wedding guests’ comfort and delight during the ceremony. Or arrange antique furniture underneath one of the old trees which define southern estates, and take your wedding portraits there: this increases the diversity of poses in which your wedding party can be photographed, and it adds a unique touch to your wedding photos. Vintage furniture can also be arranged around your reception area as statement pieces during cocktail hour.

 Vintage Wedding Centerpieces

Vintage centerpieces and place settings are easy ways for brides to add vintage thrills to their wedding. Collect vintage silver candlesticks and place tall candles in them to accent your centerpiece. Brides can use vintage china for their place settings, delighting guests with antique, mismatched plates, bowls, and silverware. It is easy to find high-quality vintage china at second-hand stores, often gold and silver-plated and hand-painted. Look for vintage linen napkins and tablecloths with intricate stitching detail, and overlay a linen tablecloth with a vintage lace one. These unique place settings will captivate your friends’ attention and your families’ admiration.

You won’t have to worry about having “something borrowed” on your wedding day if you incorporate vintage decorations into your ceremony and reception. Louisiana plantations are the perfect setting for decorations from the past, rich with detail, workmanship, and history. This is the best day of your life, a day of beauty, love, and elegance. When you add vintage inspiration like Victorian furniture and antique china to your decorations, your wedding day will be one that your guests will cherish, remember, and emulate.

 Trends in Louisiana Wedding Venues in 2013

 

Unique photography, fun catering, and vintage elements in Louisiana wedding venues comprise the latest in 2013 wedding trends. The best part of these wedding trends is that they showcase a couple’s preferences and individuality no matter what budget they have. It is about modern creativity, with a nod to the past, in these wedding trends, and you can choose which of them to incorporate into your special day as a fun twist with tradition.

Choosing the right Hammond Photographer

You can capture your wedding day at Louisiana wedding venues by choosing a creative photographer who will give you many options for photographs that you will look at for years to come. One of the greatest trends in weddings in the last decade is the advent of experimental engagement and wedding photography. The best photographers put an album together after your special day that you will look at and be amazed by. The photographer’s job is not just to capture the image of the day, but to encapsulate the essence of your love. Find a photographer that thinks outside the box, then look at samples of previous photographic projects, and see whether you like that photographer’s eye. If you do, you will end up with photography on your wedding day that sets you apart from the others, and reiterates how special your love is.

Wedding day catering does not have to be a traditional sit-down dinner at Louisiana wedding venues. Try buffet-style offerings for the latest in 2013 wedding trends, with tables of food with different offerings spread out over your venue. Provide ample places to sit, and encourage your guests to take a plate, mingle about, and choose something different the next time around. It’s all about entertaining your guests and giving them choices as they help you celebrate your love. In addition to buffet-style catering, you and your fiancée can create a cocktail that you will offer to your guests as your signature drink. Whether it is a traditional Cosmopolitan, a cucumber creation, or an Old Fashioned, your guests will be thrilled to enjoy a special cocktail chosen by the bride and groom at wedding venues Louisiana.

Albany Plantation, We Specialize in Vintage

The final element of 2013 wedding trends is the incorporation of vintage elements at Louisiana wedding venues. Choose a vintage wedding gown and have it tailored to fit you perfectly, and wear red lipstick or a petite 1920s veil instead of a long one. It’s easy to add vintage furniture or decorations to your reception area, in the form of placard holders or a vintage chandelier. No matter what you choose, this year’s wedding trends are about creativity.

Rustic and Vintage Wedding Location

 

The history of Louisiana is as rich and full, and when you enter the Albany Plantation, the spirit of the area envelopes you and takes you back a century or more. This is Louisiana at its finest, as if a snapshot was taken many years ago and preserved in time just waiting for your perfect vintage-inspired day.  This will feel like the many Baton Rouge weddings you have attending, only better, because you are getting out of the hustle and stress of the city and traveling a short 40 miles east to a world of wooden bridges and picket fences that line an immaculate property that is the quintessential grand Louisiana plantation of years ago.  You can almost visualize the bride of yesteryear that arrived in this very area in a horse-drawn carriage anxiously anticipating becoming a young Louisiana wife. Her beautiful, hand-stitched lace gown flows behind her and a simple veil hides her shy eyes. A handsome landowner from a neighboring parish is about to become her husband, and they will soon share in the joy of a lovely family. In the beauty that surrounds Albany Plantation, a modern day wedding can be transported into vintage elegance.

Share your first kiss as a married couple under the towering oaks that seemingly watch over the property, holding in all the love and promise that a wedding brings with it. After the ceremony is over, steal a moment with your new husband and take a handheld stroll down by the lagoon as you breathe in the fresh country air and share in a magically romantic moment.
