The roaring 20's are back and today's brides are no exception. From the Great Gatsby, to flapper girls, to Downtown Abbey, there are plenty of reasons why the 20's are back. Wedding trends are mirroring the movement and many brides are going for this look for their big day. From the dress, the colors, to the accessories, you too can achieve this stunning look.
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!
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?
Make sure your guests know before the big day about your vintage theme. Ask them to wear vintage suits and dresses if they are comfortable (just don't pressure them). Have your bridesmaids decked out in short, detailed, dresses. Have them wear pearls and vintage headbands to complete the vintage look.
