Vintage event decor trends

Vintage Theme popular in the UK & the US. This pic was at the VIP lounge, Lovebox Festival 2011

There is a good article on vintage event trends that are also very popular over in the USA. Interesting to hear that the US events market is experiencing the same vintage market we have been servicing here in the UK since 2006.

A client recently put us onto these so we thought we’d share them with you budding creative stylist brides-to-be.

Lots of lovely green canvas

We headed up to an MOD tender sale recently and purchased 6 lots of equipment. Amongst the lots were 4 crates of top quality heavy duty canvas tents and shelters. These are earmarked for making dining/cooking shelters. We will be making wooden frames for them to give them a nice rustic feel and recycle them into a new life in events. The colour of the canvas ideally blends with the UK’s countryside.

Eventually we hope to recycle some into yurt and geo-dome canvas covers.

New Vintage Tent Blog

Vintage seems to be a buzz word for a buzzing scene at the moment in the UK. It may just be sexing up charity shops, jumble sales and generally using old stuff as long as you can, but hey, so what. Recycling and repairing stuff to keep it in good order is good house keeping. Something the generations that went through both world wars knew something about.

Over The Moon is proud to be preserving these traditions with our store full of wooden ladders, imperial gauge tools, grandad’s chisels, plains, drills et al. Pride of place of course is our 20 sections of military marquee, all packed away and stored lovingly to appear at weddings and festivals up and down the land.

We’ve launched a new blog, Vintage Tents, to cover more vintage related articles as well as stuff on the tents. And if you’d like to hire our Vintage Tents read more here
