A vintage trophy wedding...

Note: We have decided to pick a winner for our Christmas prize draw on Saturday the 27th, so that gives you a couple more days to enter if you have not already done so!

Something I love about "vintage style" is what I like to scientifically call "unintended usage".

That is my new (and original!) phrase for describing a styling element in which an item is used in decorating in a way other than that in which it was orignally intended.

A simple example might be:

Using old tin or enamel buckets as plant pots...


Recycling jars to make into vases or candle holders...


or the little bit more experimental...

An old door of a wardrobe used as a bedroom mirror...


A headboard made from old shutters...


A set of old doors made into a folding screen...



When searching through my collection of books and the internet I have come across so many wonderful "unintended usage" ideas for vintage / country / garden weddings so when I came across a collection of small vintage trophies for sale I immediately thought how fun they would be for use as table decorations at one of these creative weddings...

I found numerous pretty inspirational photos to back up my idea...
