Did you like The Great Gatsby? Downtown Abbey? How about lacy dresses and lots of bling? Well if you said yes you're not alone. Many brides have fallen in love with the idea of vintage, 1920's wedding day. The wedding industry has taken notice and you too can get that beautiful look from days gone by. Here are some easy to accomplish steps you can follow to make your big day one to remember.
Choosing a Classic Color Palate: Choosing the right colors for your vintage wedding will help set the scene and will take your wedding guests back in time. Use muted colors like beige, ivory, toupe, or stone grey. Once you've established a few base colors, add an accent color like siege green, vintage rose pink, peachy orange, or deep purple.
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.
The Wedding Reception: Make sure your center pieces pull your vintage theme together. Here you should let your creative side out! Utilize feathers, gems, and lots of sparkle! Use muted colors and throw in your favorite flowers. When your picking out your musical playlist throw away the Ipod and fire the DJ. Hire a jazz band! Your wedding guests will be wowed by this classy touch and will definitely be remembered. And why not let the organ rest and walk down the aisle to the music of the band while your at it?
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.
