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.
Let's get the colors right. Every bride knows how important their wedding colors are and with the vintage bride they are still just as important (if not more!). The vintage bride's colors must be muted. Beautiful, dull, or subtle colors are the way to go. Try to implement beige, ivory, toupe, or stone grey as your base color. For accent colors get creative, but I suggest colors 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.
The Bouquet: You can create a vintage bouquet by using some of your muted theme colors in your favorite flowers or by creating a trendy broach bouquet with authentic vintage antiques.
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.
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.
