And I love it! Thus, I've decided that although I can't justify adding more antiques to my wedding budget, I will use items I already have. This week, I've done an inventory of vintage/antique (yes, now I'm using them interchangeably) items we have laying around the house.
Here's what I've come up with so far:
1) A vintage suitcase to store our photo booth props. This is currently in our bedroom closet and has a collection of teddy bears and other stuffed animals.
2) A vintage looking chest or two for cards at the gift table. (Please excuse the dust.) The one on the left Erik uses to store his random guitar stuff, guitar strap, extra picks, etc. The pretty floral one hold photos back from the day before digital cameras.
3) A vintage looking hat box for the photo tickets (once I cut a slot in the top). I currently have this on my night stand to give my reading lamp more height.
4) And a doily or two made by my family members. I might be able to incorporate on a table.
5) I also have this old valise, although I'm not sure what I'll use it for. Any ideas?
And, of course, I have all the vases and centerpieces I've been collecting (featured in this post). I've got a couple more antique items up my sleeve as well. So, you be the judge. Do these items fit well enough with our Old Hollywood theme? Or should I just throw up my hands, call our theme "vintage," and use them all?
