Proven fact: history repeats itself. How do I know this? I don’t. But I do know that vintage is in, and I’m fairly convinced that it’s here to stay, which is fabulous news for all you brides-to-be! This is the first in a series of vintage wedding inspo posts, so stay tuned if you’re planning an all-out vintage shindig.
I’ve seen this mismatched chairs idea numerous times and started accumulating tons of inspiration. Chairs add so much character to a space, so what better way to make a statement at your reception? Effortless & chic…I’m so a fan.

I love the simplicity of the tablecloth, runner and dishes offset by the bold array of vintagey awesome chairs. Found at Steep Street Musings by Kelty – check out the rest of the gorgeous wedding!

Obsessed with all the amazing textures & colors the chairs bring to this adorable outdoor reception.

I’m a huge fan of the bench on the left, and the shabby chic ‘His’ & ‘Hers’ chairs on the right! Both images via
Ruffled®.


Again, the chairs say it all. Simple tablecloth accented by fun pops of color in the flowers & chairs. Yay! Both images via my new obsession, Jill Thomas Photography.

How cool would these be for B&G chairs? So cool. Give ‘em a facelift with newly upholstered cushions! Found at apartment therapy.

Grab a couple of these wooden beauties, mix up the colors (I’m talking bold paint & mismatched cushion patterns), and away you go! Found at Green Pickles.

apartment therapy sums up the awesomeness of these vintage chairs in their acknowledgement of their “budget-friendly addiction to vintage furniture.” I’ll drink to that!

My heart skipped a beat when I found these vintage gems upholstered with vintage feedbags! PERFECT for an outdoor vintage celebration…reminds me of something Sparkle & Hay would love! ;] Found at Gold Notes.

You know how I feel about DIY…huge fan of this beauteous revamp!

Amazingly gorgeous! Salvage beat-up vintage chairs from thrift stores or even -gasp!- the dump, and undertake this DIY project with fabulous results! Found at The Vintage Laundress.

So frickin’ cute. If the colors don’t amaze you, change the upholstery – these have serious potential! Found at SunshineCityLassie.

I see these sweet vintage Tolix metal chairs everywhere, and I’m totally loving the random yellow in this arrangement. This is perfect for the match-obsessed bride who likes a little variety! Found at designwatcher.

Yes please! These would also make great B&G chairs. Spray paint and mix up the cushion fabric for more variety! Found at Vintage Indie.

Love the numbers on the seats, and the glorious vintageness of the slightly rusted white iron. Sighhh. Found at the Graphics Fairy – get the printable vintage numbers here, too!

Annnnd saving the best for last…I fell absolutely head-over-heels in love with this vintage sofa. The bold stripes really spice it up & modernize the look, but the nostalgic vintage flair still dominates. Gorgeous! Found at Alkemie – check out the other cool vintage chairs & sofas on her blog!

i’m loving it all!
