13 Vintage Wedding Invitations That Prove What’s Old Is New

You always imagined your wedding would be one of show-stopping charm. You want to weave in family heirlooms and traditions, walk down the aisle with greenery and wildflowers rather than lilies and roses, and mix various antique pieces into the decor. To pull off your timeless, dream wedding, here are 13 vintage wedding invitations we can’t stop thinking about.

This elegant floral wedding invitation fits right into your vision, featuring a chalkboard etching of rose buds and greenery. Set your design in a white, blush, lavender, or green background, or customize it to fit your wedding colors.

2. Vintage Romance Invitation

You always dreamt of throwing a traditional wedding ceremony. Now that your special day is fast approaching, you love the planning process — going over each delicate detail with poise and precision.

3. Rustic Lace Invitation
