What is Shabby Chic?

The term ‘shabby chic’ is believed to have been first used in the late 80’s to describe a design style that incorporates a country cabin feel. This theme can incorporate any number of different elements which can include floral patterns, vintage furniture items and accessories, and basically anything that you might find in your Grandmother’s house.

A shabby chic wedding theme might be chosen by the bride and groom to match their clothing of choice (if they are opting for something a bit different to the traditional wedding), or perhaps if they want to have an old fashioned country-style feel to their special day. Couples who choose to go for the shabby chic wedding theme would be looking for accessories and other items that reflect this - including appropriate aged furniture, country style tablecloths and other items.

Like any chosen theme, a shabby chic wedding theme looks best if you do it all the way, so don’t be shy about it – put your thinking cap on and make the most of the opportunity to go shabby chic! Second hand furniture and other items strategically placed throughout the reception area will really make this theme stand out in its stylish uniqueness.

The Wholesale Wedding Superstore has new stock available to help all those shabby chic brides and grooms make their theme really work. New jute tablecloths and overlays will really add to the country feel and provide a shabby chic base to work with. Have a look through antique, or second hand shops for old teapots, jugs and other items to place some country flowers in to really set off your tables. A beautiful rustic jute burlap guest book and pen compliments perfectly the theme and the addition of some gorgeous candle and goblet bands will complete that shabby chic wedding style.
