Inspiration #29: Vintage Fabric by Vera

About Us

I'm a happy-go-lucky do-gooder and owner of Va de Vie Events. Through this blog, I hope to share inspiration, budget ideas and DIY tips on how to pull off a budget wedding. {Savvy shopping, a bit of craftiness, and flexibility is what it takes!} I would love to hear from real brides, vendors, photographers, and more with their budget savvy tips or real weddings. Please email me at vera at vadevie-events.com.

NOTE: In accordance with new FTC regulations, vendors I spotlight on my blog have not sponsored me or their post in any way -- it's strictly editorial and because I admire their work. I also credit photography as best I can and will gladly take it down if necessary. Thank you.

Inspiration #29: Vintage Fabric by Vera

Filed under budget, decoration, etsy, inspiration

[Desire to Inspire]

I was first introduced to the vintage textile designer, Vera, by my friend, Karman (and actually have a couple Vera pieces thanks to her). According to Fashion's Finest, Vera Neumann, began designing textiles in 1946 after she and her husband, George, founded Printex with partner, Werner Hamm. Since my wedding will draw from an eclectic mix of vintage and modern, it's only natural I consider using Vera tablecloths or scarves. Here's a sampling of great Vera pieces. Enjoy! If you want more, Scott Linden of Linden Tree Handicrafts on Etsy.com has a terrific collection as seen below on his Flickr page.
