Dancing and prancing couples and some delish retro desserts
This week’s reader submissions had a lot of couples jumping, driving, dancing, and cheering, and they demanded to be put together into this Monday Montage! As a bonus, I pulled in a vintage candy buffet, some “cookie sliders,” and some very cool handmade vintage-style books used as invitations! You’ll either be inspired to dance or be really hungry by this collection.
Shannon & Fran’s 1920s era vegan-friendly potluck wedding
A 1920s-inspired wedding… but not in Gatsby style? Hell yes. This couple embraces their more humble beginnings with an intimate and laid-back celebration like their grandparents might have had. This included some vegan-friendly pot luck, old timey penny candy, vintage-style dresses and pocket watches, and super chic lavender and wheat bouquets.
Helen Isabella & Jonathan’s Victorian high tea wedding
There wasn’t really a theme, just a major mash-up of what they love: steampunk, Victorian fashion, Alice in Wonderland, and high tea! They also found a venue that allowed them to bring in a jukebox, homemade beer, and a fish and chip cart! And you will go nuts over the bride’s custom-made purple gown.
Nicole & Chris’ rockabilly bowling wedding in Las Vegas and Texas
This retro-loving pair incorporated bowling, Vegas, rockabilly fashion, and photo op hijinks into their awesome two-part day. This included an intimate ceremony in Vegas, followed by a crazy bowling party in Dallas with a candy bar and the most adorable sundae-shaped flower centerpieces!
