Enjoy the natural beauty of the venue

A farm setting already has a vintage charm that makes it look old fashioned. The key is to bring out the beauty that is already there and add modern touches in a way that isn't too obvious. First check out what the venue has to offer. Is there a lovely old farmhouse a cute barn or a big field?

Use backgrounds that are natural Being real is what vintage style is all about. Use the way the land looks now to help you choose how to decorate. A barn made of old wood or a field with a split rail fence can help set the mood.

Put in new lights Consider using dramatic lighting like LED string lights or geometric chandeliers to give your home a more modern look. These can add a modern touch to the place without ruining its natural beauty.

Give your decor a unified look

You can really mix old and new things when you decorate a room. Think about how each piece can add to the main idea without taking away from it.

Picking Out Furniture You can use both old and new furniture together. A classic distressed wood table and modern sleek chairs can help you find a middle ground between the old and the new.

Patterns and Fabrics Use fabrics to make you feel warm and nostalgic. Modern centerpieces that are clean and well organized look great with lace tablecloths or velvet runners from the past. Combine bright loud floral patterns with solid muted colors that are more modern.

Experiment with different color schemes

The color of your wedding can really change the mood and tone. To mix old and new styles you may need to come up with new color combinations or use colors that are true to both styles.

Getting the Right Balance You could use softer more muted colors like dusty rose sage or antique gold if you want a color scheme that looks old fashioned. Use bright colors like navy teal or burgundy to give it a modern look.

Make a Difference Combine the soft look of pastels with the bright look of bright colors. A mint green bridesmaid dress for instance can look even better with a bouquet of dark blue thistles or deep red roses.

Put together the perfect outfit

The clothes you wear can make a big difference in how well a wedding style fits in with its surroundings. The difference between old and new can be very clear when it comes to fashion.

Picking a Dress for the Wedding Think about a dress that looks old fashioned but has some modern touches. A classic A line dress with pockets or an open back could be a good choice for example.

Mix and Match for the Wedding Party Tell the bridal party to wear clothes that show off their own styles. Mixing modern colors with old fashioned dresses that don't match can make the look more interesting and layered.

Make it a unique experience

Finally remember that a wedding is more than just the things that are there it's about the memories you make. Combining old and new things can give an event a sense of purpose and make it truly memorable.

Play Music to Set the Mood Music can bring back memories and remind guests of a certain style. A live jazz band or a DJ who plays old records can set the mood and link different times.

Technology and Entertainment Use technology to make guest experiences more fun. A vintage photo booth that lets you share photos online can be a fun way to combine the two styles.

Putting together food and drinks For instance serve a classic Old Fashioned with a modern twist to honor both times. You could also serve a farm to table meal that mixes old fashioned charm with new cooking methods.

Memory Stations A memory station with both old photos and digital displays can connect with guests on a visual and emotional level telling a story that spans generations.

It's not just about how things look when you mix old and new styles at a farm wedding it's also about making the day special meaningful and true to the couple's story. This stylish mix can make an event feel both old fashioned and new when done right. As a wedding business owner this mix gives you a lot of options for planning events that are both classy and personal.

It's important to remember that mixing old and new styles isn't about following a strict set of rules. It's about showing off your own style and making creative decisions that show how different each couple is on their big day. It's a dance between the past and the present with a beloved farm as the backdrop that never changes. It teaches you how to balance understand and be creative.
