Retro-Style Weddings by Bobbi Jo Palmer
y daughter Mindy became engaged April 9th to her boyfriend of two and a half years, Daniel. Of course we started talking about the wedding way before the actual engagement because Daniel asked for her hand in November, the day after my husband returned from his hospitalization for a stroke. After visit- ing our new digs the kids decided this was the special place they wanted to host their wedding. Mindy has always wanted a garden wedding and she is choosing a combination of vintage and shabby chic. In surfing the Internet I realized this is one of the trends this year for weddings. And of course Reese Witherspoon used a similar theme for her recent wedding.

Retro-style weddings – at a hotel, in your parents’ backyard, or even at a restaurant – are huge right now, and we’ll continue to see a lot of the style in 2010. It’s really no wonder: A wedding filled with vintage details, whether from the 1950s, ’60s, or even ’70s, can make for a meaningful heirloom-filled, back-in- the-day vibe, and the decor options are limitless. Use a turquoise-and-raspberry color combo, get milk-glass cake stands for your dessert table, dress the tables with pretty eyelet runners, and ask your florist to arrange your centerpieces in small porcelain vases or silver pitchers. Even your menu options can get in on the action with pigs in blankets and punch (served up in glass punch glasses, of course) at the cocktail hour.
