What will your vintage wedding look like?
The term “vintage” refers to any element that is older than a few decades old, but not yet a century old (when it becomes an antique). Vintage, therefore, refers to any detail or theme that evokes memories of times gone by, and is open to vast interpretation. From the roaring 20’s parties to the innocent purity of 1950’s fashion, a vintage wedding is all the rage, and all yours to create.
Often, the “vintage” in a wedding comes from the addition of things passed down through the generations. Family heirloom jewelry is a popular accent to inspire the vintage ambiance as well as to pay tribute to your family legacy and history. For instance, the inclusion of an old cameo brooch into a bride’s classically romantic bouquet can be a personal and special reminder of someone close.
Pearls and crystal gemstones are also a traditional way to give the feeling of classically nostalgic eras. Incorporated into the bodice of the dress or draped throughout a bouquet or through the brides hair; these elements hearken back to eras when elegance and grace were the fashion of the day.
Of course, there are hundreds of ways to infuse a vintage feel into your day. Non-traditional venues such as old estate properties and train depots are intriguing backdrops for photos and celebrations; while whimsical patterns for linens or tuxedo accessories are all the rage. Beat up suitcases serve as card holders; lighting is provided by copper hanging lanterns; and cake flowers are antique gold and rose.
