Why go Vintage? Flapper girls. The Great Gatsby. The roaring 1920s. Today, the world is looking back on some of the greatest times in fashion. The bridal industry is following the trend with more and more brides choosing to go for a vintage feel on their big day. Lace dresses, subdued colors, and lots of champagne are the basics to accomplish this elegant, timeless look. Here are some tips and techniques to nail the perfect vintage wedding.
What colors do I use? Picking the right colors for your wedding day will set the vintage tone and take your wedding back in time. Stick to muted colors. Use ivory, toupe, beige, and stone grey as your base. From here add some beautiful accent colors such as rose pink, deep purple, or siege green. Use your creative style but remember, muted colors will definitely set the mood.
Let's take a look at the Bride: When looking for that vintage styled dress you must keep a few things in mind. First you will have to ignore the pull you feel to grab that white princess dress you saw in your recent issue of The Knot. Vintage brides must instead take a look at those ivory and blush numbers. Next you should be picking a mermaid, fit and flare, or a A-line dress. As always getting the perfect fit is imperative for every bride. When dressing up that dress, your going to want to grab some LONG strands of pearls and some BIG gem earrings. This is no time to be conservative, in the case of the vintage bride you want to go HUGE with the wedding accessories. Now your going to do my favorite part; your going to go with the birdcage veil. You can get a small subtle birdcage or go all out and get one that just about covers half your body! Let yourself have fun with this part. Next you should grab a long strapped purse and some elbow length gloves to round out that stunning look.
Vintage Bouquet: To create the perfect bouquet for the vintage bride use your favorite flowers in muted colors. If you want to be real creative go with the trendy broach bouquet made with vintage antiques.
Well what good is a wedding without a party? Don't worry, we've got you covered. Now what's a party without music? Not a party, that's what. No DJ or smarmy wedding singer at this show. We are going to hire the best Glen Miller impersonator we can find and get the party swinging. And hey, don't be afraid to toss aside the tired organ and waltz down the aisle to a four piece jazz outfit. It will surely class up the joint.
Remind your guests of your roaring 20's wedding day and let them know they are more than welcome to join in the fun and wear vintage suits and dresses. Set your bridesmaids up with short dresses with lots of detailing. Have them complete their look by wearing lots of beads and a vintage headband.
