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.
Our Vintage Bride: No self respecting vintage bride would be caught dead in the wrong dress. We're not looking for a ball gown, an uber modern frock, or a trashy cleavage holder. The vintage bride needs a lacey form fitting number in the mermaid, silhouette, or A-line vein. These styles scream the '20's and are the perfect base for achieving the look we desire. Now as you're leafing through hundreds of dresses you can narrow it down real quick as we are going to stay away from the standard white dress affair. Instead we are going to go for a blush or ivory piece of lace. This is a must. Now we need to add the wedding accessories that will accentuate our hip style. First you must have a birdcage veil. These are hugely popular right now and you will have no trouble falling in love with this look. Next take a feathered or gem wedding comb to add a little sparkle to your hairstyle. From here your going to get creative. Grab eye catching necklaces and earrings. Pearls are a must along with BIG jewels. Get something that can't help but be noticed and you are on the right track. When it comes to makeup use your own style but remember you can't go wrong with blush and bright red lips. Add a pair of stunning long satin gloves and you will be killing it on your wedding day.
A Vintage Brides Bouquet: If you are feeling adventurous try the DIY broach bouquet made with authentic vintage antiques. If flowers are more your style, grab your favorite flowers in a collection of muted colors. Don't forget the baby's breath!
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.
