When it comes to your wedding transportation, who says you need wheels?  If you want to travel in style on your wedding day, consider this dramatic alternative to the traditional limousine. Take to the sky with a hot air balloon - a must have for adventurous brides wanting to make the ultimate grand entrance or exit, all while taking in the scenery, sipping champagne, and waving to guests from your lofty perch.

Every fashionista loves designer handbags, but if the coinciding high price tag of a Dior, Chloe, or Fendi have you reduced to the bargain bins – rejoice - you can actually rent a sought after “it” bag for your big day or for your honeymoon.  Bag, Borrow or Steal is a website that allows you to “borrow” designer bags for a week, month, or longer. Rent it, use it, return it – but if you do become so attached, they’ll even let you purchase your new love.  (the bag, not your hubby)

Here’s something fun - a retro reminder to save that date!  Bag the traditional monogrammed card stock or even the magnet fad du jour.  Instead, find vintage postcards that feature your wedding location or a kitschy wedding-related locale like Niagra Falls.  This is a circumstance where it would actually be appropriate to pen your own message - in your very best cursive handwriting of course - on the cards, or you can have them professionally printed if you prefer.

You love old movies and vintage clothes. Frank’s standards fill your playlist. Why not a wedding registry filled with wedding gifts that satisfy your affinity for the classics?  Set your table apart with vintage china, silver and glassware or decorate your home with antique linens and prints from The Vintage Wedding List .  The company’s inventory, gathered from antique dealers, estate and garage sales, features a hand-picked selection of some of the most unusual antique presents from all over the world. 

Intrigued?  Here’s what you’ll need to know…  You can use their registry exclusively or to complement an existing list.  The company will hold every item selected for the duration of your registry.  Guests can go online to view and order items from your list, and beautifully–wrapped wedding gifts will arrive with hand-written messages on your doorstep. 

Rent a photo booth for your reception, and let guests take turns posing for the camera. The crowd will get a kick out of taking pictures in a real classic photo booth, and the retro black and white photos can double as keepsake wedding favors. Set up a DIY station with mini-frames so guests can take home their favorite shots. You can expect to pay from $1000 to $2500 to rent a photo booth for the duration of your reception, but you can also expect it to stay busy all night.
