These vintage travel cases are the bouquet alternatives of our wanderlust dreams

We featured the sweetest vintage travel-themed wedding featuring flight attendant-inspired bridesmaids, vintage airmail favors filled with candy from around the world, and so many map and globe details we couldn’t even count. Don’t miss the bride’s map shoes! It was a wanderlusting dream. But how could we ignore the FANTASTIC non-floral “bouquets” held by the bridesmaids: vintage travel cases! They made for some of our most favorite wedding party shots ever. Let’s spy the many retro-fabulous vintage travel cases that Marvyl’s bridesmaids carried to pitch-perfect effect.

This vintage travel-themed wedding is killing us with retro style

Growing up on opposite ends of the world, we always thought it was magical how fate brought us together in the same place at the same time. We decided on a vintage travel-themed wedding! From our flight attendant-inspired bridesmaids to our vintage airmail favors filled with candy from around the world, every detail was carefully selected to bring out the adventure of travel for our guests.

We’ve got your first class ticket for this travel-themed wedding

Julie and Leo love to travel the world, so a travel theme at their New York wedding at Bear Mountain Inn was ideal. Think boarding pass seating cards, a globe-inspired cake, and a globe guest book. Their ceremony was officiated by Leo’s brother with their parents standing by their sides. It ended sealed with a travel-themed paper airplane throwing exit. Don’t miss the unrehearsed sing-a-long to a Les Miserables song where guests sang different parts!

Remember your guests’ travels with a push pin map guestbook

We aren’t talking about “pinning” in terms of Pinterest for once. We’re talking an actual push pin map guestbook. Brenna and Dennis had a nifty, thrifty idea for their guestbook: guests placed a pin on a map indicating from where they traveled. This ideas serves two purposes: find out who traveled the farthest, and have a visual keepsake of where all your guests live. Super fun times! Let’s hear from Brenna on the whole scheme.

Barbara & Ned’s vintage travel wedding will give you wanderlust

This pair knew that they wanted to have a wedding that was a reflection of their love for travel. The groom wanted a wedding on the water, and the bride wanted a barn wedding, so they chose a renovated warehouse on the Hudson River to combine both of the elements. What transpired is pure vintage travel bliss.
