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.
The Bride: The bride is the center piece to the wedding. What the bride wears will set the tone for the entire wedding. When going for a vintage look, three items come to mind: 1. Lace dress 2. Bold jewelry 3. Birdcage veil. For anyone looking to give off a vintage vibe, wearing a gorgeous, lace dress will do the trick. You can still find a dress that will fit your body type; fit and flare, mermaid, silhouette, even a beautiful A-line dress will create a retro look. Consider doing an ivory or blush dress instead of the standard bridal white which tends to look more modern. Once you find the perfect gown, finding bold accessories will be key. Now is not the time to be conservative when it comes to bling; the gaudier the better ladies! Layers of long, pearl necklaces or dramatic chandelier earrings with bright gems will create the look of extravagance and excess much like the roaring '20s. The vintage wedding is not complete without the bride wearing the perfect veil. When it comes to picking a veil, the only truly vintage option is to pick the trendy birdcage veil. Birdcage veils are all the rage and the latest trend in the bridal world. Add a vintage style hair comb or feathery accent piece to finish off your up-do hairstyle. Complete your bridal day look by adding red lipstick or elbow length gloves.
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!
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.
Let your guests know ahead of time that you are planning a Great Gatsby themed wedding and ask that they wear their vintage suites and dresses. Your bridesmaids can wear short dresses with lots of intricate detail and beaded jewelry with vintage headbands that finish off the '20s look.
