Vintage fever... Spreading like wild fire through the wedding scene and doesn't look to be dying out anytime soon. Our beautiful vintage stall www.alittletasteofvintage.co.uk went down a storm at the Milton Keynes wedding show this month, and we had lots of excited brides and M.O.Hs telling us all about their plans for a fabulous vintage inspired day.
This involved alot of craft, collecting jam jars & lots of lace, some were even collecting tea cups (I turn a blind eye).
There is no telling or guiding an excited bride to be. But girls, if I give you only one word of wisdom, from a complete control freak collector maniac bride myself this June, Listen! When your friends and family give that look that you choose to ignore it is because they care and they want you happy! They don't want you taking on too much and they want to HELP you!
I know I've harped on about this before but delegate some jobs.... Feeling your stress levels rising and your eyes bulging at the very thought? then you definitely need to!
Try getting your girls (and guys) together and if you can't explain how you want things done then show them, give them mini craft lessons. Crack open some bubbly and make it a little party, believe me you will be a far happier bride for it.
Give the job of collecting things you want to a group of people. I had both mums collecting jars and my sister collecting lace. Tell and show people what things you are after and you'll be surprised how right they do get it.
Check out our crafty D.I.Y projects and then make a night of it with the girls!
And if you have to collect your own tea cups (I hasten to add this is very expensive in the long run and you may as well hire them from us it will save you £££s www.chintznchinavintagehire.co.uk) then find our DIY blog post on wedding favors, making candles. After the wedding this is a great way of using your cups to give as presents for birthdays and Christmas.
Happy Planning.
