Vintage Styled Weddings

Vintage is still big this season - so here is a reminder on how you can style your wedding if your passion is vintage.

The vintage wedding theme is one that has become more and more popular in recent years. The rise in popularity of vintage wedding dresses has now spilled over into the venue decoration, the stationery, the wedding favours and more.

Despite the many new wedding themes that have popped up and disappeared around it, vintage is here to stay offering more and more as the years progress. In fact, many of the modern themes such as hearts and feathers actually support and help this theme to grow. Whether you have a few vintage touches in mind or want to have a completely vintage wedding, the choice is yours and there is so much choice available! There are many true vintage items on offer as well as cheaper modern alternatives that can help to make an impact with this theme.

Where Do You Start?

Firstly consider the wedding dress itself and decide whether it is true vintage or simply a remake gown that you are looking for.

Asking your family members who married in this era if they have a gown that you can borrow or even let you have is a great cost saving idea. You may find that unless you particularly want to, you won't have to have any major alterations to the gown itself as there are some true gems lurking around. If you can't find what you are looking for, then try second hand stores or even ebay where you will find many dresses for sale or hire. Read More
