There are several elements typical of the vintage trend These include bird cages, picture frames, stacked books, vinyl, music boxes, crocheted cloths and wooden chests with necklaces, all of them, antique, aged and/or restored You can also mix and match, for example, placing a picture frame on a trilogy of bound books, or a ballerina's musical box on a brass box, among other combinations.

2. Glass jars

Another way to get some vintage centerpieces, is to assembling arrangements in glass jars The idea is to fill them with water and put flowers, such as paniculata, peonies, roses or ranunculus, in them. On the other side, antique perfume bottles are also ideal to create centerpieces, which you can decorate with flowers or not, depending on the shape of each container. A retro spray bottle, for example, will not need any decoration.

3. Candles

The candles, meanwhile, will be very beautifully located inside lanterns. You can also border the whole contour with pale roses or with branches forming a kind of nest. Now, if you want a more striking support to mount candles, the bronze candlesticks with crystal teardrops will be a sure hit. An elegant detail reminiscent of the past. The oil lamps, on the other hand, are another vintage element that you can rescue to use as a centerpiece on your wedding table or support them on a wooden base decorated with flowers in pastel shades.

4. Cans

Another element, otherwise very easy to obtain, are the cans that you will be able to use in their natural state or by painting them in pastel colours. You can also decorate them with burlap bows or lace fabric, filling them with natural flowers. You can use them alone or, if you prefer, tie three cans together for a single centerpiece and place them on a wooden trunk. The only requirement, so as not to go overboard towards a country wedding decoration, is not to lose the range of soft colors, such as pink, lavender or mint green.

5. Porcelain

The traditional porcelain tableware will also be perfect as a centerpiece for a wedding table, whether it is in mugs, teapots, milk jugs, vases or sugar bowls It is a very delicate alternative, which you can decorate with floral arrangements or, for example, with macaroons, the latter being sweet snacks with warm colors and, therefore, very well adapted to this trend that reminds us of the past.

Along with bridal decorations, jewelry is another area where you can explore the vintage trend quite a bit. If that's what you're looking for, you'll find beautiful old gold wedding rings, as well as thickly carved silver wedding bands from yesteryear, among other options.
