Melanie & Matthew’s Vintage Inspired Orchard Grove Wedding
"Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue." - the age old phrase to bring good luck to weddings. Our real couple, Melanie and Matthew, focused on that “something old” part with their vintage-inspired destination wedding.

Vintage Inspiration
Let's see how Melanie and Matthew brought vintage elements to life with their orchard grove wedding.
Wedding Attire
Our real bride, Melanie, illustrated the theme perfectly with her bridal look. She opted for an amazing vintage inspired cape with shoulder cut-outs. Melanie’s hair was styled in a side-swept curly updo adorned with pearl accessories. Her two-tone champagne and ivory gown highlighted the vintage inspired Chantilly lace fabric. She was a perfect vintage vision and her bridal look makes for beautiful orchard grove wedding inspiration.

For her groom’s look, Matthew wore a dapper three-piece plaid suit. He paired it with brown dress shoes and a blush pink bow tie to harmonize with other elements of this beautiful vintage inspired orchard grove wedding.

Wedding Photography
It wouldn’t be a vintage inspired wedding without a classic car photoshoot! Melanie and Matthew were able to get a vintage car at their orchard grove wedding, and their photos exude playful romance.

To really capture the vintage theme for your wedding, have a photographer edit your wedding photos to heighten the aesthetic. Melanie and Matthew’s photographer, Spencer, edited the photos in several vintage styles, including a warm grainy look, black and white film, and a soft sepia tone. Take this as destination wedding inspiration for your vintage wedding.

Dusty Rose & Sage Green Wedding Colors
The Dusty Rose & Cream Color Palette looked beautiful for this orchard grove wedding inspiration. It looks soft, romantic, and matches the vintage theme effortlessly.
The Bouquets
Each bouquet features a mix of soft cream and dusty pink roses paired with sage green eucalyptus leaves tied in blush and dark rose chiffon ribbon. The bride’s bouquet is also embellished with pearl floral accents to really give it that vintage feel. The floral color palette unified Melanie’s two-tone bridal gown and her bridesmaids’ dusty pink dresses, as it combined the colors of each.

The Reception Decor
Ling’s Moment dusty rose and cream color palette was also used to decorate the tablescapes at this orchard grove wedding. The newlyweds sat at a table featuring the head table flower garland in dusty rose and cream, alongside a flowing table runner. Scattered candle votives and glass hurricane vases finished the sweetheart tablescape and added more rustic charm.

A second, smaller floral garland framed the edge of the champagne tower table! A champagne tower is not only a fun photo opportunity, but also a thoughtfulfun way to serve your guests for a toast! While the champagne tower is the focus here, the beautiful floral garland romanticizes the table and helped tie in the color palette.

The Octagon Wedding Arch
Melanie and Matthew’s ceremony took place in the orchard grove under an octagon shaped wooden arch. Ling’s Moment’s flower arch decor and drapes helped elevate the arch and frame it with color. A little bit of decor goes a long way and makes a big impact. Imagine getting married underneath this unique arch at an orchard grove, surrounded by friends and family as a gentle breeze blows.
