To help you come up with dozens of your own wedding coordination ideas as you plan your ideal day, we’ve compiled 5 wedding ideas to add to your list:
The grandmillennial style feels timeless and elegant because it draws aging heirlooms together with light, airy, and feminine tones. As you plan your wedding decor ideas, find pieces that utilize soft pastels, blush pinks, sage greens, butter yellows, and light lavenders. These colors draw heavily on palettes naturally found in nature and will pair well with your own floral accents and bouquets. In addition, embrace romantic details like rattan, milk glass, soft lighting, and vintage prints.
2. Lean into the White and Blue Motif
3. Let Heirlooms Be Front And Center
The appeal of mixing the new with the old is to honor those who have gone before and their legacy on your family. Weddings have been happening since the beginning of time. Many families have heirlooms that have been passed down, and this is an event where those pieces can really shine. You can use a family vase, an important book, a piece of artwork, an heirloom instrument, furniture, or lamps to decorate your venue. You can pull out grandma’s linens, curtains, tablecloths, needlepoint, silverware, china, glassware, or bar set to use during the reception. Incorporate smaller pieces by framing old pictures, book pages, handkerchiefs, embroidery, letters, or pressed flowers to place throughout the reception.
4. Chose an Intimate Venue
Since the grandmillennial wedding style draws on intimate details that are significant to your family members, you should select a venue that feels meaningful. Brides who want an intimate wedding are often forgoing large venues for childhood homes or family estates that have importance to the family. If this isn’t an option, you can also achieve this intimate feel by hosting a garden party wedding at an outside venue or finding a Bed and Breakfast that ties in antique furniture, floral wallpaper, or a quaint home-like environment that will complete your granny chic vision.
5. Include Elements from Nature
The phrase goes, “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.” And this wedding theme draws together the old and the new effortlessly. To offset dark wood tones, aging books, yellowed fabrics, or black and white photos, you can include fresh flowers and newly cut greenery. For example, you can wrap an old wooden banister with eucalyptus branches or ferns or wrap your fresh bouquet with your grandma’s lace and broach. You can also rely heavily on vintage floral patterns on table runners, curtains, tablecloths, or dishes.
