Indie Weddings Month 2014 Spring Wedding Trends with Special Guest Heidi Markgraf of Truly Engaging

There is a great deal of charm and beauty found in past eras and it’s inspiring to see how every bride and groom puts a  modern spin on their vintage style aesthetic. MagnetStreet recently released their spring wedding color trends and so using the hottest hues from the season’s prettiest pairings, here are three different inspirations of how color and design can be married to create a vintage feel with wedding stationery. 

Isn’t this bride gorgeous? Her vintage style is beautifully rendered through her attire and delicate lace parasol. No doubt we’d find chic and playful vintage touches throughout the décor and venue site, too. To mimic the style and set the tone for this fashionable outdoor affair, we chose For You With Love, a design suite that reflects a stylish grace with modern whimsy. Its fresh yet understated color scheme balances fanciful design elements for a look that feels vintage and contemporary at the same time.

For You With Love Design Suite + Celadon Green, Tea Green, Ivory, Ashwood

So fun! Reminiscent of the 1920’s, here is inspiration for a quirky and charming, vintage-inspired wedding where the guys are wearing seersucker suits, oversized bow ties, and billy ball boutonnieres. Yellow is such a vibrant color and when steadied with brown and tan, lends an earthier feel—perfect for a spring or summer wedding. Give guests a sneak peek at the fun to come with a photo Save the Date like Patterned Bill Ball—personalized in a classic font!

Patterned Billy Ball Save the Date Postcard + Marigold Yellow, Butter Yellow, Gold, Brown

 Festive bunting and heirloom flowers are traditional trimmings in vintage-inspired events. With a vivacious color scheme of coral, peach, ivory and celery green as an accent color, your vintage vibe will take on a spirited and playful look.  Complete your look by carrying your colors and style across your stationery, attire, florals and décor.
