Happy Friday friends!
Over Memorial Day weekend my cousins and I were driving home and came across a little antique shop on the side of the road. After spotting it we did a quick u turn and headed inside. It was the size of a bathroom and 90% of it was junk so we headed back to the car and what did I spot toward the back of the building? A few dozen old window leaning against the building. I quickly ohh & ahh and my cousins looked at me like a lost my mind. I tried to explain that these old windows can be used multiple ways in weddings. Later that night I searched the web for some idea. Here are a few of my faves...

1. {style me pretty} 2. {briana moore via grey likes weddings} 3. {atelier joya via green wedding shoes}
Even though majority of the shop items were useless, I did pick up this fenton hobnail perfume bottle. Unfortunately the topper was missing but it was just to pretty to pass up.
Have a great weekend!!
I am sooooo using these window ideas for a clients wedding this August. Love the inspiration. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI am using this idea! I had my FMIL on the look and she found 2 old barn windows on the side of the road. They are so dirty but hopefully with lots of windex, sanding and new paint they will look beautiful! Thanks for all of the inspiration!

ReplyDeletethis is probably my most popular item for my vintage rentals - they are popular little guys for sure! I love the way the look when styled into a wedding!

ReplyDeleteLove, love, love vintage windows! I want some for my house!
ReplyDeleteI have been stalking thrift stores, garage sales, and antique shops for old window panes! I want to use them in my house but I haven't had any luck so far!

Hello There,
ReplyDeleteFirst, this comment has nothing to do with post.
Second, I have been inspired by you and other crafty bloggers to make my own wedding bouquet.
I'm planning on experimenting with a variety of fabrics before I make my final decision, but this is my first prototype. http://missyellowshoes.blogspot.com/2011/06/wedding-diy-bouquets.html
Would you just let me know what you think? Any constructive criticism or advice would be awesome!
Thanks for you time and happy Friday!
I love vintage windows!!! I'm always oohing and ahhing over "junk" :) Old windowpanes look fabulous in the house too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous roundup. I'm partial to old doors, myself, but the glass in the windows makes things ethereal and so wedding-y. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove new ideas! I'm loving signs these days, and this is such a unique touch that I can't wait to see incorporated more into weddings.
ReplyDeleteLoving this!
ReplyDeleteHad seen that "window pane seating chart" on Green Wedding Shoes, too, and just loved it! You've found some other great uses for vintage windows...thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous!! I'd love some leaning up against the wall in the house but I have a feeling the husband would look at me like I was mad!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome idea!
ReplyDeleteGreat post - windows are one of my all-time favourite details.
ReplyDeletecannot get enough of windows!
