There are many definitions for the word vintage, including “something old, recognized, and of enduring interest, importance, or quality.” The idea of wedding stationery that’s enduring seems appropriate for an event celebrating love meant to last a lifetime. These vintage wedding program styles take elements of the past and use them to introduce your future. Whether you love Victorian florals or have a soft spot for flapper chic, these designs are sure to get you even more excited about saying “I do.”
1. Antique Rose
Infuse your new-world wedding with some old-world charm when you treat your guests to Antique Rose. Sketched roses stretch out across the pristine paper, joined by ornate stamp-like accents and vintage-inspired fonts to create a design that’s classically romantic.
2. Love Is in the Air
Finally, a design that takes the phrase “let your love take flight” seriously. A kraft paper-inspired background provides a clean canvas, allowing sepia-toned sketches of hot air balloons and clouds to stand out brilliantly. A strip of bunting on the back holds your initials, providing a sentimental finishing touch that brings the entire scheme together.
3. Something Blue
Something old, something new, something borrowed, and then this beautiful wedding program that offers an intriguing take on traditional design. Two elegant damask-patterned prints stretch across the program, framing your day-of details for an elegant result that’s perfect for your upscale I dos.
4. Vintage Bloom
For a spring or summer wedding with vintage vibes, consider Vintage Bloom and its ring of pretty flowers that keep the focus on you and your beloved’s names. Simple block lettering keeps the design from feeling too busy while a series of colorful stripes on the back add a bit of whimsy.
5. For You With Love
When your heart finally finds the person it’s meant to be with, it only seems right to celebrate that love with a wedding program that’s equally sweet. For You With Love features a pair of hearts hovering over a minimalist script declaring your names and wedding date. Splashes of sky blue and subtle patterning amp up the vintage aspects without sacrificing modernity.
6. Whom My Soul Loves
Your guests can keep cool while enjoying a stunning design thanks to the fan-style Whom My Soul Loves wedding program. From the vintage lace edging and diamond accents to the rustic flower-topped twigs, every element of this design feels soft, sweet, and celebratory.
7. Ritz & Romance
Capture the magic of the Roaring ’20s and make your big day as decadent as possible. Ritz and Romance is just what your inner Gatsby ordered — if the lush purple and gold palette weren’t enough, the retro scalloping and vintage font should have you gasping in delight.
8. Sweet as Pie
So cute you can practically smell the cherry strudel cooling in the window, Sweet as Pie oozes country charm. Maybe it’s the polka dots. Maybe it’s the vintage flower motif that reminds you of grandma’s kitchen wallpaper. Maybe it’s the kraft paper that feels rustic yet refined. Maybe you should just go ahead and customize this design so you can greet guests with a wedding program you adore.
9. Floral Lace
Sometimes simplicity is stunning, and that’s exactly what’s happening with Floral Lace. Kraft paper and an intricate vintage lace overlay join forces to create a wedding program that thrusts retro aesthetics firmly into the present day. A contrasting black-and-white on the inside or reverse of your program offers a surprise, keeping guests focused on your ceremony information as they await those all-important I dos.
10. Decorated Luxury
A little Art Deco, a little 70s-style batik, Decorated Luxury expertly toes the line between elegant and boho to help bring your vintage wedding theme to life. The tea-length program will look lovely amongst a carefully selected collection of candles, fresh flowers, and gilded charges that echo the same upscale energy and retro overtones embodied by your stationery.
11. Vintage Bunting
Three cheers for market day! If you’ve ever been to a country fair, you know how wonderful it feels to get caught up in the spirit of celebration that infuses such a happy event. Vintage Bunting re-creates that energy with draped bunting, pieces of washi tape, decorative flourishes, and a texture-washed background. It’s cheery and relaxed, just like a farm or rustic wedding should be.
12. Vintage Garden
Victorian wallpaper was known for its luxury aesthetic. Ornate designs ranging from pastoral scenes to paisley were used to disguise imperfections in the walls and create an aura of extravagance. Thanks to blocks of painted florals that Queen Victoria herself likely would’ve loved, Vintage Garden brings that same sense of opulence to a wedding program, adding large block lettering on the front to skew the design slightly modern.
13. Dreamy Stripes
When vintage meets contemporary, you get design suites like Dreamy Stripes. This visionary concept includes lots of black and white stripes, stenciled roses, and a few bold circles for good measure. The use of stretched fonts in colorful hues makes this program feel more playful, adding to the graphic impact and complementing wedding décor that ranging from a Mad Hatter-style tea party to sit-down dinner referencing My Fair Lady.
14. Natural Love
Soft colors, watercolor flowers, and traditional typewriter lettering come together to give Natural Love an easy, organic feel that’s as calming as it is gorgeous. The same spray of blush flowers and lush greenery appears on the coordinating invites and reception items, tying together every aspect of your wedding into one cohesive bundle.
15. Delicate Impression
The monochrome florals in Delicate Impression might appear as if they escaped from a vintage botanical guide or scientific journal, but pair them with old-world, handwriting-like fonts and a chic contrasting text box and you have a wedding program that deftly brings tradition into modern times.
16. Faintly Fall
For autumn nuptials with a vintage motif, there’s Faintly Fall, a wedding program that embraces simplicity by letting a single sprig of greenery do all the talking. Minimalist block lettering details important ceremony information, but it’s the feathery arc of leaves that makes this design stand out.
17. Floral Burst
Floral Burst introduces a new, vintage-inspired way to enjoy flowers on your wedding day. An otherwise plain wedding program design gets a style boost courtesy of a wash of grey and silver-hued flowers that seem to fade in from the bottom of the paper. It’s a nuanced illustration that suggests sophistication without demanding attention — just what you need for a wedding that’s all about understated elegance.
18. Delightful Wreath
Delightful Wreath is, in a word, sublime. From the elaborate tangles of leafy branches and flowers to the looping script in a pretty shade of pale pink to the wash of gray that’s reminiscent of a hazy summer sky, this design is everything you’d want in a vintage wedding program. Opt for the single-page flat program for a shorter ceremony, or use the extra space provided by a multi-page folded program to share tidbits about your wedding party, describe songs and readings, and leave a thank you for the loved ones who have supported you unconditionally.
19. Garden Dream
The contrast between the stark black background and the vibrant pink and white flowers making up Garden Dream is hard to ignore and nearly impossible not to adore. The juxtaposition of a geometric border with watercolor blooms offers a bold way to make a statement on your wedding day.
20. Chic Patina
A much-loved blanket or dress that’s faded from the sun. Dream watercolors splashed across a canvas. A midsummer sunset viewed in the company of your sweetheart. This design is open to interpretation, but whatever you see, it’s definitely romantic. Chic Patina features a wash of pink with black text displaying your details on top, but you can customize the design with almost any color to match your program to your overall color scheme.
21. Deco Glam
Break out the champagne and get ready to dance, because Deco Glam is art deco grandiosity at its finest. The use of ornate swans, geometric accents, and bold type bring out the vintage glitz for a wedding program that’s anything but subtle.
