Recipe suggestions for vintage inspired wedding?

I am getting married in August and am having a really small wedding 25 ppl. We are doing all the cooking ourselves, my brother is an amazing cook! But we don't want to spend the day of in the kitchen so we are trying to think of make ahead dishes that will go with my vintage theme. Anyone have any recipe suggestions. I know what we are making in terms of desserts but need appetizer, main, and side dish ideas (some vegetarian too) that go with our sort of Victorian throw back theme.
