Weddings
are a very costly endeavor. One of the
best and unique ways to save money is to use vintage items or re-purpose items
into crafts for decor, accessories, etc. It's also a great way to inject your own creative personality into your wedding design. Brides are embracing these
trends fully. If you are looking for inspiration Pintrest is full of beautiful ideas.
If you choose to buy a vintage wedding dress avoid dresses that need repairs or have stains. Avoid the oldest dresses, those before 1900 because of deteriorating fabric. Remember sizing is very different today than in the past.
Below are some of the top vintage trends this season.
Colors: mint green, orange, pink, print
Grooms: hats, bow ties, seer sucker suits
Dresses: 1920s
flapper style dresses, satin gowns, vintage lace sleeves
Accessories: birdcage veils, vintage jewelry pieces, lace and crystal garters
Decor: aged wine
barrels, colored bottles with flowers, lanterns, mason jars, antique books, crates, dried flowers

ReplyDeleteGenerally, as a group of people we have grown taller. You'll especially notice the difference in vintage chairs/rockers being closer to the floor. As a rule of thumb vintage sizes are at least four sizes smaller than modern sizes.
