Retro and Vintage Weddings

Vintagey, DIYand Budget Friendly!

FI and I are getting married in Savannah GA and are going with very old southern charm decor. I spent some time as working as an assistant in a floral department and I'm seriously contemplating just buying flowers in bulk and just doing arrangements myself (time and pre-wedding stress levels are factoring into this decision though) but we want just simple loose arrangements in an assortment of sizes. We thrift and garage sale hunt regularly and have gotten several old milk bottles, funky vases, old jars, and pitchers of different sizes, the most expensive being a giant antique glass belly pitcher for $10. Also planning on bulking up our centerpieces by buying a case of little jars that people would use for preserves or something and putting tea lights in them.
I think fancy and identical arrangements would look out of place. I'm hoping for a really sweet and simple, southern hospitality feel to it. Don't want it to look cheap and thrown together either though.
