And what is more timeless and modern than records??
Music is important to both of us, so we thought a great way to celebrate our interests and inject a little class into the day would be to display a cluster of vintage gramophones. One on its own might be quaint, but if we could have between ten and twenty, it would be ideal. Honestly, I’d go for upwards of a hundred, but at around $350-$3,000 each, via worldofgramophones.com, I’m not sure how this plan will factor into the budget, but I’m willing to sacrifice the food and wedding favors. Because looking at these sweet gramophones will be a favor in and of itself, right?
Let’s be clear, though. I’m not saying we want a record player at the wedding. Any dummy with a 7” collection could do that. I’m talking real, vintage, working, 19th and early 20th century gramophones/phonographs. With the big horns. A hundred of them.
It would also be super classy if we could have them as centerpieces.
Other ideas we have that combine the vintage/modern aesthetics include poor-quality photographs, skinny ties, mustaches, and reverb. If we have microphones on us during the ceremony, there will be a ton of reverb.
If you can think of any other vintage/modern ideas that we could utilize, let us know!
