5 vintage themed wedding ideas
Are you planning a timeless wedding? Perhaps you’re curating a vintage theme for your special day? Here are some ideas on how you can add a unique retro flare to your celebrations.
The businesses mentioned are all based in Scotland and mention supplying to weddings across the UK on their sites.
Vintage Wedding Outfits
Vintage wedding dresses and attire are becoming more popular amongst non-traditional couples who appreciate a theme. This is a great option for presenting a timeless wedding aesthetic in a way that doesn’t necessarily require the rest of your event to align.
A great option for sourcing your retro wedding dress is Those Were The Days, who offer a curated collection of vintage wedding dresses, hand-sourced from across the world. Their shop is based in Edinburgh.
2. Vintage Photographer / Vintage Photo booth
What if a vintage photographer and vintage photobooth were combined? The Vintage Instant Photographer and their modified retro camera acts as a personable alternative to a digital wedding photo booth, gifting guests with a printed polaroid in seconds.
If you’re the kind of couple who enjoy the essence of selfie pods, 360 photobooths, and similar interactive wedding photography options, but are looking for something less digital - this is a great option for you!
3.Audio Guestbook
Traditional written guestbooks may seem timeless enough, but if you’re the kind of couple who are hoping for a more vibrant vintage feel then this creative guestbook alternative might be for you.
Time Capsule Productions offer an audio guestbook, captured on a retro rotary telephone. This is then edited alongside your favourite songs, offering a heartwarming post-wedding listen.
Additionally, Love Out Loud’s bespoke poetry service creates a custom poem from the messages, advice, and memories shared by your guests. This acts as a creative guestbook alternative; something you can frame and see daily, rather than get lost in your bookshelf!

4.Vintage Decor
Vintage wedding decor is the perfect way to fully capture a vintage feel in your wedding. From wedding table decorations, to floral arrangements, and signage, there are even some simplistic style options that can make a huge difference to your wedding’s aesthetic.
Cherry On Pop offer services such as bespoke props, faux florals, and decorative installations that will absolutely capture your desired retro look.
5.Typewriter poet
The clicking of a typewriter is a renowned vintage sound to echo across your wedding’s evening entertainment. Love Out Loud’s Purple Poetry creates on-the-spot poetry on a typewriter, inspired by conversations with your guests. Live event poetry on a vintage Brother typewriter is a unique way to blend your ideal wedding aesthetic with interesting entertainment and wedding keepsakes.
This is not only for the creative vintage wedding planners, but also for those who want to encourage heartwarming moments. These special conversations inspire connection and reflection, and are a very personal thanks to your guests for making your special day magic.
