A blog dedicated to all wedding things vintage-inspired, with a special focus on the aesthetics of the 1950s! All posts are meticulously organized by tag…and none of the content belongs directly to me unless otherwise stated.

Instead of black and white, you could use a nice soft pastel or anything, just match it to the cupcake wrapper :)</p> <p>The pattern also doesn’t have to be ribbons, a simple stripe or scalloped line or anything.
