Vintage wedding style

May is considered a wedding month in my country..so based on that tradition even tho I live here, I'll be posting  once a week at least of some wedding dresses, cakes, centerpieces for guest´s table, color palette and so much more.


Stay tuned!!!!

My first post is about an amazing and gorgeous way to bring together old and new ideas in the same place!

Vintage is so In now, and this post is going to help all vintage lovers to do a perfect and unforgettable wedding!

When i think about vintage it reminds me of my Gradma's house, some things that she still have in her house I wish they were mine. Remember, the VINTAGE and OLD have the same meaning, but the concept is all new.

People are recreating vintage mixing other styles to it, vintage can be classic and chic but if you exaggerate it might look outdated and not that great to see.

Here´s some ideas to not go wrong.

I hope you can be inspired from them and make it happen On The Budget!!

Laundry


Most of us are not fans of our laundry rooms, they not only represent an area that’s reserved for work and stinking socks, but they are far from being the best designed space in our home. We are usually quite comfortable with just closing the door and keeping everyone from discovering the “mess”.

Who says your Laundry Room can’t have a designer’s touch?

 A laundry room doesn’t have to be that dull, boring place you don’t need to be afraid of it. It needs to be comfortable, cool and pleasant and at the same time, highly functional.

\With all the new products on the market today, and with a little professional advice
from   On The Budget ,  you too can have a laundry room that is worthy of leaving
the door open.

 You are going so see here some cool ideas.

.Wallpaper, shelves, and Vintage Chandelier to make statement


Monochromatic and a personal touch make this pretty and functional

Very cool wall stickers.

Creative and colors make this very interesting laundry.
Love it.

Neat and clean line.
I hope you guys get inspired by this post and do something nice and
beautiful.

Living area

Today i got some ideas from my favorite stores.
But if you're thinking that it might be out of your Budget, we can always make it work!
Get inspired!

I have decided to put some stuff together to show you how it can be done. 3 different ways of using basically the same thing!!
I keep  the furniture and just change a little.
Let's do it!!


 The same furniture
Option 1- Conservative , classic and elegant
  

                                                                  The same furniture
Option 2-  still classic  and chic but with a little color it can be  fun!


                                                             Keeping only the sofa
                             


You can always change pillows, lamp shade, rug, it will make all the difference in the room.


All transformation can be done On The Budget.

Purple shades are on top this year - and I love it! Make your wedding unforgettable with the boldest shades of summer. A wedding laden with heaps of cosmos flowers, irises, and star gazer lilies is a veritable fairy tale heaven for romance. These shades are the perfect option for making statement bouquets and incorporating pops of color in a tasteful manner, such as with wedding accessories like a cute ballet flat or unexpected invitations.
This colors works very well..bring elegance and sophistcation , just gorgeous.

Dark colors always makes a  rich impression


purples and fuchsia



Gold

Complementary Colors: Pink Champagne or Coral

Taking inspiration from watercolor sunsets and glittery champagne, this color combination can be a truly magnificent and elegant option for an outdoor wedding at dusk. With fireflies, floating lanterns, and twirling dresses, this selection evokes a romantic, almost Shakespearean-like feel. A wedding by these colors, nothing could ever be as sweet!

Pinks, Gold...how sweet!!
Lovely
Gray
Complementary color: Light yellow and silver.
This is a Diva wedding...!!! crystal, Lilies and pearls gives elegance, sophiscate, glamour in this particular Wedding.

Get inspiration from and let's do it On The Budget.!!
