Wedding Inspiration | Vintage Books

It's no secret that we love books!  So, when we saw this wedding from Wedding Colors, we instantly fell in love.  Books are a perfect accessory to use everywhere from your ceremony backdrop to reception table decor to guest book table!

Looking for vintage books?  Vintage Love, Rentals & annessi has a huge assortment of vintage books that would be perfect at your next event!

2013 Trends | 1920s Vintage

Today we begin with our first trend: 1920s Vintage
With the huge success of the TV show, Downton Abbey {if you haven't seen it, you need to start ... now!}, and the remake of the movie, The Great Gatsby {opening in May 2013}, this decade is roaring with popularity!  The decadence and details of the era are a perfect match for weddings - delicate lace, drop-waist dresses, gorgeous headpieces, blush tones ... we can't get enough.

{Looking for something to do this weekend?  Join us at the Iowa City Preferred Bridal Show at the IMU Main Ballroom this coming Sunday from 12-3pm!  More info and details here.}
