Event planning: why is vintage making a comeback?
When the vintage touch is increasingly popular
Everyone says it: fashion is an eternal restart. This explains why iconic pieces from the 60s, 70s or even 80s regularly reappear on the catwalks during fashion shows!
Today, this attraction for vintage has an impact on all areas. The automotive sector, interior design, music, video games... Even the so-called "forgotten" vegetables are coming back into the kitchen!
In an age where we wonder how we did without the internet, smartphones and streaming platforms, the vintage wave continues to spread everywhere.
Is it only due to ecological awareness? Is it a sweet flashback in a society where everything is going fast, and especially time is passing? For event professionals too, this trend has become a must.
Vintage, a trigger for sweet nostalgia
At any age, no one can remain insensitive when faced with an object that reminds them of their childhood. The emotion we feel takes us back to a time when everything seemed easier. Childhood, adolescence, the first years of adult life... Tender memories come to the surface to remind us of the joy and happiness of those past moments.
This nostalgia can be aroused by a multitude of triggers, such as an old video game console, an old mobile phone, worn jeans...
Music is no exception! Today, the distinctive 80's sound is still present on the airwaves, even in contemporary music!
It's no wonder that more and more family receptions, weddings and business events are being organised around this theme!
Vintage and ecology, a recipe that works
It is a daily observation: the era is recycling and upcycling! Flea markets, antique shops and garage sales are becoming increasingly popular.
And for good reason! The old-fashioned charm of a piece of furniture can be sublimated to fit harmoniously into an interior. A second-hand item of clothing can make a new fashionista happy. More and more items now have a second life!
It is a real awareness that is gradually emerging, in the face of hyperconsumption and the programmed obsolescence of many objects. We are becoming more attentive to what we buy. We prefer to repair rather than systematically throw away.
Yes, vintage is good for the planet!
The vintage touch to stand out
There is always something unique about a vintage object. It is a relic of a bygone era, a precursor to the latest technology, a symbol of a style of dress... It has survived the years, inspiring durability and therefore quality.
Many companies have already understood this. By using marketing material or advertising objects with a vintage look, they create interest by emphasising timelessness and exclusivity.
Vintage is ultra trendy. That's why professionals and private individuals alike are seduced by this retro spirit, which is very much in tune with the times.
Because vintage makes everything it touches more authentic, it is increasingly used in professional events such as seminars or product launches.
Private individuals are not left out! Weddings or private receptions, vintage is one of the most popular themes!
Vintage, a guarantee of quality
While electric vehicles are still the subject of controversy, vintage cars are still in vogue. Inside, there is nothing electrical or electronic. Only the mechanics allowed these vehicles to pass the test of time. And they are still running today!
The same is true of household appliances and furniture. The impression that everything was more solid, and therefore more durable, gives vintage objects a certain power of seduction. Grandma's wardrobe is not about to fall apart. Older cars are being brought back to life. Vinyl records are making a comeback. Even modern coffee makers are getting a retro look!
There's no doubt about it: vintage is still a safe bet.
Vintage and savings
Whether it is for decoration, furniture, clothes or even toys, "second hand" is becoming more and more attractive. As items are sold at a lower price than new ones, classified ads are multiplying on resale and second-hand websites, while neighbourhood or village flea markets occupy the weekends of many individuals.
On the one hand, buyers are delighted to find "old-fashioned" things at a reasonable price. On the other hand, sellers make some money while making room in their homes and/or cupboards.
It is thus possible to find vintage decoration at a lower cost to decorate your event, by hunting here and there, at garage sales or on the internet.
Between budget control and image enhancement, vintage is a real asset for individuals and professionals alike.

And don't forget that every year, many weddings and anniversaries are organised around this theme!
As for the reception venue, it can also be conducive to reminiscence!
