Vintage Bohemian PDF Print E-mail
ywd08_vintagebohemian_title.jpg
Written by: Susan Hart Hellman
Photography:   Norma Lopez Molina
Set Designer:  Lisa Vorce, Oh, How Charming

Think Montmartre, Puccini’s La Bohème, and Renoir’s “The Bohemian”  and you may imagine what designer Lisa Vorce envisioned upon embarking upon her Your Wedding Day Vintage Parisian Apartment, “an eclectic and warm space filled with antiques and beautiful statement pieces.”  Translation of this all: Parisian Bohemian Chic.

To begin, Lisa started at 20th Century Props.  Wanting her bohemia to have a “lived in feel,” she chose the company’s baby grand piano and a fireplace mantel. “I knew I had to have those for the apartment,” Lisa says.

ywd08_vintagebohemian_5.jpg Those pieces became the core of her design, whith all décor created around them, including dark hardwood flooring and fabric walls with custom flourish-pattern appliqué. Mirrors were added to the walls, eight mirrors, for an unconventional artistic twist.

Continuing with her Paris artist’s quarter theme, mixed china and glassware, both older and new were combined, then mixed with a blue china pattern. “I wanted the tabletop to have an eclectic, but organized feel to it,” Lisa says.

The linens were innovative too, fashioned vintage dress-style from custom-designed layers of fabrics created to cascade, light and free off the table.
Taking inspiration from the linens, Lisa wanted soft, sweet florals, layered and flowing too. A delicate mix of garden roses, jasmine vine, sweet peas, and parrot tulips was selected for their various different textural effects.

Continuing with an Avant-guard bohemian flair, Lisa chose an antique cigar box to display the programs.  For escort cards, she used various ribbon samples to tie shredded vintage fabric to a wire dress form. “It was my absolute favorite element from the set!” Lisa says.   

Which couples would be most tempted by this type of wedding?  “Well-traveled, Eclectic, Esoteric, Avant-garde,” Lisa says. “Non-traditional” is a word often associated with all things bohemian, too, but this Your Wedding Day Vintage Parisian Apartment wedding, could become any one’s tradition.

Tips
  • # 6  RECIPES FOR FAVORS
    Gather together the favorite recipes that you remember as a child. They could be special family recipes, holiday menus, etc.  Have them bound in small books, affix a wedding label on the front with your monogram and date that you were married. And there you have it, a unique favor that your guests will use again and again. Also, it is a wonderful way to acknowledge grandmothers and mothers.

  • #26 MARRYING MINDFULLY
    Creating the “perfect wedding” can easily overshadow what is really important about getting married—creating a sacred and lifelong bond with your beloved. Your wedding is not a “to-do” list. Take time to tend to your relationship and to yourselves so that you enter into the celebration relaxed, joyful, and with a full heart.
    Carmina McGee, Skin – Health - Well-Being

  • #21 LA FLEUR TABLE
    Cover your entire table top with a single bold color of petals. Not just a scattering, but the entire top of the table with a thick layer of petals! You can purchase them at a farmers market or order them through your florist. Place your chargers, place settings, glassware and centerpieces in a contrasting color and lots of candles directly onto the petals for a stunning, romantic look!
    Jill La Fleur, The Wedding Planner
