When Rachel Ashwell's shabby chic store first opened in the 80s, it took the design world by storm and it has been gaining in popularity ever since. Now, especially as budgets are tight, shabby chic has become a real on-trend choice for a wedding theme. With its emphasis on distressed materials and vintage styling, shabby chic  lends itself perfectly to rustic rural weddings and grander historical venues alike. We can help with vintage rose designs for placecards and poppers, cotton ribbon to make your own shabby chic decorations and brown tags to hand write your placecards. A retro style disposable camera on the table adds to the vintage styling along with cotton bunting and wooden wedding signs. Shabby chic will really appeal to artsy brides who can indulge their creativity in decorating our plain white linen guest books, albums and keepsake boxes with their own embellishments for a really unique range of shabby chic accessories. So take a stroll through our Shabby Chic Wedding Theme section for some inspiration to help you create your own perfectly original take on the Shabby Chic style.
