have you ever seen the vintage weddings?
The vintage movement is here to stay. In 2001 – after actress Julia Roberts caused a stir in a 1992 Valentino dress at the Oscars – we saw fashion magazines turn to haute couture designs (usually by deceased designers) and furniture and home furnishings. straight out of grandma’s house to illustrate its pages. However, we never imagined that this trend would become a lifestyle.
Today, the vintage phenomenon has ceased to be exclusive to the runways to become a constant among independent city women and fans of relaxed and uncomplicated fashion. And even though many of the clothing and adornments characteristic of this movement come from flea markets and antique stores, they tend to be expensive.
If you have experience in decorating spaces, you know perfectly how to achieve a 100% vintage atmosphere and you have the gift of a host (or hostess), this business idea is for you: decoration for vintage weddings. The advantage of this business is that you can operate it part time and execute your ideas on weekends.
How to start a vintage wedding business?
To achieve a decoration of this type, look for alliances with antique stores that can “lend” furniture, vases, paintings and even sculptures during certain hours. Use your imagination to wow guests with elaborate velvet curtains (like a 1920s theater) or sky blanket.
Giving a touch of color to this type of wedding does not have to be complicated or expensive because flowers such as carnations and daisies or paper flowers can be used. As for the crockery to serve the food, you can buy it at the flea markets at low cost because, in general, they are sets with missing pieces.
Include vintage experiences in the décor, such as photography sessions (with sepia finishes) where guests can dress up in 1920s clothing, hats, and stoles; scooter rides and a couple of hours with music like mambo, chachachá and rock & roll.
