I came across this wedding and I was really taken back by how beautiful and soft all the decor looked. From the flowers to the vintage plates, this event had vintage flair and feminine touches. How can you resist the natural earthy theme and comfort styled feel? I can’t!

Now that my fiance and I bought a house, decorating has been number one on my list of things to do. And you bet I’m super excited! It has always been my dream to design a whole house from top to bottom and now I finally get the chance. Our home will be a mix of vintage items and rustic charm with a handful of industrial inspired pieces done with a contemporary point of view. Phew! It will be an eclectic home for sure. To see it all in its entirety will be dream come true 🙂
Here are a few inspirations for a rustic style kitchen. Since this is one room in the house we are doing a great deal of work to, I thought I would share some visual ideas with my fellow designers. These are simple beautiful.

Here are some beautiful ways to do your hair on the big day. Not only are they all easy to do, but they look effortless and natural. These would be perfect for a woodland themed event or a rustic vintage wedding with some boho flair. Right up my alley!

Not everyone can plan their own wedding and create the decor. However, with a little help you can surely make your own save the dates. Personally, I think the save the dates should be simple and affordable. If you want to go nuts than save it for the invites. Being that its just a little reminder of what’s to come, it doesn’t have to be grand. Check out what I did for mine and hopefully they will inspire you!
I chose to create postcards for a few reasons. First of all, they are very affordable and easy to get printed. Second, our wedding theme is vintage bohemian so what better way to remind our guests of our special day than with a vintage postcard design.
I chose to use one of my favorite photos from our engagement shoot with Lauren Elle and just create a small banner that matched the style of the photo. For the back I used a vintage texture and included fonts that held that antique style. Since we have a wedding blog I included that as well.
I received a lot of positive feedback about them which made me happy. Especially, since I designed them. I say DIY all the way. If you can do a lot of the work and it will save you money than go for it.
