Candles. There’s nothing prettier than candlelight – so if you want to add a dash of romance and beauty, you should definitely use candles for lighting. The best way to incorporate them in an eclectic vintage theme is by focusing on the candle holders – you need something with a distinct vintage flair, whether it’s from the Roaring Twenties, or a more ambiguous vintage touch.
- Edison light bulbs. Very popular these days, Edison light bulb arrangements are ideal for those who want to be really unique. Because of their old-school appeal, these light bulbs can be perfect– and no, you don’t have to incorporate Victorian design motifs all over (this is where the “eclectic” part comes in, right?). However, we do suggest you make sure you create a well-balanced look if you want to create a nice, welcoming vibe.
- What could be more glamorous than chandeliers? Gorgeous, unique, and definitely elegant, chandeliers can be incorporated into the most surprising ways – and they are perfect for those who want their big day to really shine.
- Table lamps. Bring that bedroom coziness into your event by placing vintage table lamps on each of your vignettes. With some flowers and great attention to detail, the lamps can really turn into splendid centerpieces – and they are ideal for someone who wants a cozy, welcoming, yet quite an informal look. Plus, you can always mix and match them to create a very eclectic, interesting appeal!
Regardless of the lighting type you may choose, remember to pay attention to details and to choose elements that truly represent you. At the end of the day, fashion will go away and trends will fade out – but your pictures are there to remember you…plus, social media! 😉
