About


I'm Caitlin, a newly engaged lover of all things vintage! Planning for my Fall 2012 wedding I am inspired by the world of shabby-chic and rustic design. I have always had a strong passion for antiques and could spend hours searching through antique stores and flea markets. After happily jumping into the wonderful world of wedding planning, my love for the eclectic has really been highlighted. I figured why not start a blog and share my planning experiences and inspirations for current and future brides, or in general, people that love this just as much as I do?!

I am also the creator of Antique Door Vintage Rentals, located in the Minneapolis/St Paul, Minnesota area. My own passion and love for all things vintage has fueled my personal collection of unique vintage furniture and decor pieces for years. I am now launching a truly one-of- a kind vintage rental company to share with brides, event planners, designers, and photographers to help make those truly magical moments even more breathtaking!  Antique Door has a beautiful collection of vintage furniture and accessory pieces for rent that is continually growing. Contact for more information.
