of different kinds, featuring butterflies, daisies and hearts to suitthe sweetest tooth.
Our top tip is to go for pale lilac icing with a single violet atop each one. Even better if you can persuade your relatives to bake them! And don't forget to display them to perfection on pretty vintage glass or china cake-stands! Who could resist?

6. CROCKERY AND ACCESSORIES
Vintage crockery hire and accessories is the easy and cheap way to indulge your every possible whim and make your wedding day unique.
We're talking vintage tea pots, hand-made table clothes, and mismatched Victorian teacups and saucers. Then there's bunting, stripped deck chairs and old-fashioned croquet sets.   These items are perfect for the glamorous garden fête or 20s Hollywood-chic wedding.
Pretty Vintage has an eclectic range of all the beautiful and vintage accessories you could possibly dream of to make your wedding day perfect and out of the ordinary.

7. PLACE CARDS
We love the idea of using old-style Manila luggage labels as place cards so guests know where they're sitting. Not on the High Street have a good selection of stylish and rustic labels and ribbon.
Then buy a gold pen and find someone with elegant handwriting to inscribe them. Perfect for a vintage-inspired wedding! Tie them with pretty silk ribbon to the stem of a rose or the handle of a vintage teacup.

4. VENUE
Of course, where you actually choose to get married is another of the most important steps along the vintage-wedding path.
These days, anywhere is a possible venue and there are some incredible castles, churches or cafes by the sea – as well as outdoor spaces – available for hire. Wedding Venues and Services have lots of vintage-inspired ideas about where you could tie the knot in style.
But, of course, the ultimate in vintage chic is your own back garden, strewn with home made bunting and a wooden-poled marquee. You could even paint your own signs to let people know where your venue is. The wobblier and more home spun the better!

5. CAKES
Another big decision – the cake! Do you want the usual three-tiered fruit cake affair or batches of the most decadent and tasty cupcakes the world has to offer?
Stylishly decorated and tasty cupcakes are the perfect accessory to your vintage wedding – especially the old fashioned ones with royal icing and little fresh flowers. Classic Cupcakes make loads of different kinds, featuring butterflies, daisies and hearts to suit
