If you’re looking to bring some old-school elegance to your wedding decor, vintage china is a gorgeous way to go about it. There are so many pretty ways to work it in to your wedding – we love the idea of using it as a cute basket alternative for your flower girl. You can also add some vintage flair to your drinks reception by having a stack of tea cups and saucers for guests after a cuppa and pop some sweet treats on a cake stand. We also adore the idea of using mismatched vintage china as dinnerware or serving up desserts in a seriously pretty tea cup! Check out more fab ways to work it in to your day below…
Where to Hire
It can take a lot of time and effort to collect your own vintage china but luckily you don’t have to. There are several Irish companies that rent out vintage china for weddings. You can hire china from The Wedding Festival in Kildare, Annie Ruffles Vintage Creations in Clare and Add a Little Sparkle – Wedding Venue Stylists in Dublin.
