Very Breakfazt at Tiffany's!

You could have the Tables named after Cocktails, and have a pic of the Cocktail printed on there.

Zoe at http://www.krafti-kards.com/ does some lovely Shabby Chic invitations too.

Hi welcome to the forum!

Great theme! I'm a 40s and 50s clothes collector, I'd LOVE to buy from posh girl vintage they have some amazing dresses. Also check out Candy Anthony for repro dresses, they are beautiful but pricey. It is worth looking at eBay too as you can get some real bargains, but obviously you're not as assured of the quality. Try seaches on eBay for 50s prom dress/evening dress etc not just wedding dress. Also here's another vintage wedding dress supplier and another and another! These huys make beautiful vintage inspired tiaras and these guys for reasonably priced jewellery as they have some great vintage inspired pieces.

We considered hiring a jukebox for the party, but we've gone with a DJ now. They look awesome though and add a real 50s kitschness to the day. We also looking into hiring an ice-cream bar and having 50s style sundaes, but it was out of our price range. Having Elvis sing at your reception would be cool, another forum member did that and he was amazing. Expensive, but shabby chic style cakes! Also you'll need a 50s cadillac to arrive in and giant maritni glasses!

I love the story of this wedding.

Right think I have rinsed my webpage book marks, but also check out my planning pics! Will have a think to see if I've missed anything!

Have you picked a venue yet?

Hey guys thanks for the welcome and thanks for all the links! I shall be sure to bookmark them

HeatheryBee - I LOVE Candy Anthony... if only I loved the price tag as much hehe... and that ice cream bar looks AMAZING, something I hadn't thought of and shall definitely look into. Also I love that wedding story... I was actually looking at some wingtip shoes like those for H2B!

I haven't settled on a venue yet, but I'm looking for some pretty, overgrown country gardens in which we can put up a marquee.

Hi, just saw about Candy Anthony and their price tag. I agree, but the dresses are divine. I wanted a 50s style dress more so that I could have a good boogie without falling over my dress. I emailed them and explained that I loved the dresses but I was on a tight budget. Rachel told me to come in and we discussed how much I wanted to pay and then we went from there and I have to say I am soooooo in love with my dress. It is as if it has been made for me, so it is always worth emailing them to see what they can do.

Also my maid of honour found these dresses which we are going to have a look at next time I go down to see her. http://www.vivienofholloway.com/

hope this helps xxx

Hi and welcome to the forum! Blue Bridalwear do a fantastic 50's style tea length wedding dress called Beautiful, here! Also Alan Hannah does one called Audrey, which is like a longer version (although Blue can make Beautiful in a full length version too) I think it's a brand new one though as I can't find it on his website. Not sure what your budget is though but they'd both be amazing with your theme, I wish I'd had this theme but I didn't see any 50's style dresses when I was looking, I kind of wish I'd searched a bit harder!!

Hey brides.

I had a sort of shabby chic wedding, a sort of tea party, vintage kind of theme.

It was a gorgeous day and I loved every second of it. We went for a hog roast as we wanted quite an informal do and it worked really well, didn't go for a seating plan but everyone sorted themselves out perfectly.

I had peonies and roses as the flowers and they look so old fashioned they are just beautiful.

Pearls draped over the tables, cake stands filled with cup cakes, tea sets etc etc.

I am trying to build up the courage to sell on some of my decorations so let me know if you are interested. I do feel like a want to keep them forever but unsure I will ever need hundreds of tea cups and enamel jugs again!!!!

Hi gcarr,

I was just wondering if you were still thinking of selling any of the items from the wedding. We are having a vintage/shabby chic style wedding and the picture of your stuff is exactly what I am looking for.

Hope the planning is going well for all you ladies.

Hi Lola, its probably best to PM gcarr directly, as the post is a few months old, she may not see your post.
