TRENDSPOTTER: Vintage!

Is it due to the Royal Wedding or is everyone just loving everything vintage these days?  In our opinion this trend has been coming on strong for awhile and is now taking off.  From glassware to wedding veils, everywhere we turn we arethe old classic style.  It's not just attire or decor, we've seen a vintage style emerge in photos, video and music. 

If you'reon the guest list for any of these spectacular events, expect to see colored depression glass, floral china plates with scalloped edges, ornate flatware and lots of lace.  A tea course incorpoarting sterling silver pots and an eclectic mix of cups is the rage showcasing finger sandwiches and mini desserts.  Bird cages and mason jars are easily transformed into antiqued centerpieces.  A lot of the antique decor bring on a sense of nostalgia and creates an 'at home' feel.

What we love about vintage is it doesn't have to match; try different pieces together and you'll be amazed at the looks you can create.  And who knows who has once used these gorgeous patterns in the past.
Here are some inspirations for incorparitng that vintage feel into your next party!
