How to Save Money on Vintage Wedding Décor
If you’re planning a vintage wedding, you already know that the task can be quite daunting. On top of what seems like a never-ending to-do list, you may be trying to save money as well, and this can make things a little tricky. The good news is, vintage weddings are a great theme to save money with, and that may be why they have gained popularity in recent years. If you are looking at décor for your vintage wedding, here are some great ways to save money on vintage wedding décor for your special day.
Hit up flea markets. As the weather gets warmer, it will be flea market time, and this is the perfect place to find unique pieces that could be used for your wedding’s décor. For instance, you could find some old tins and use them as something to display treats or flowers in on the tables. Look for vintage napkins as well at places like this. It’s alright if they are mismatched!
DIY your décor. In most cases, making some of your décor items for your wedding will pan out cheaper.

Borrow from older relatives. You can often get some wedding things like napkin rings, silver, figurines, broaches, and picture frames from relatives and friends that lived through the era you are trying to recreate. This is also the perfect time to ask them about their big day and what they did on it to get an idea of a direction you want to go for your big day for not only décor but also music and more!
Don’t go overboard. One thing that made vintage weddings so elegant in their own right was the fact that people didn’t go over the top and do too much décor. It was simple touches like flowers in vases, embroidered napkins, some lace, and nice table cloths. By minimizing what you will be decorating with, you will save money in your budget, naturally.
