Turning some vintage and seemingly obsolete items into gorgeous d\u00e9cor for your wedding is just one way to go about it. Here are some fun (and easy) vintage DIY ideas!<\/p>\n<h2>Suitcase Love Notes<\/h2>\n<p>A fun alternative to guest books, why not dig up Grandad\u2019s old suitcase with a banner requesting to leave a \u2018love note\u2019? The suitcase could be pre-packed with favourite love quotes, vintage styled paper and pens to get your guest\u2019s creative juices flowing. Also, imagine how fun it will be to create your memory scrapbook after?<\/p>\n<h2>Boutonnieres<\/h2>\n<p>Vintage isn\u2019t just for the gals, groomsmen are included too! If you\u2019re anything like us, your parents or grandparents probably have tons of trinkets that can be easily reused and made into a fab boutonniere for your gorgeous groom. You\u2019ll be surprised what can be done with some trinkets, glue and pins. Just make sure you don\u2019t go super gluing any expensive heirlooms!<\/p>\n<h2>Pretty Tea Parties<\/h2>\n<p>Beautiful designs and embellishments can always be found in classic &#8220;delph&#8221; ware. <a title=\"Me Auld China\" href=\"http:\/\/www.meauldchina.com\/\">Me Auld China<\/a> provides gorgeous mix and match pieces like cake stands available to rent. Personally, I would love to have each of my tables decorated with a different teapot. My grandmother has a beautiful collection of expertly crafted pots that are just gorgeous!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Planning on some DIY vintage?
