Vintage is everywhere and so it's no surprise that it's been all over weddings for a while now. The epitome of femininity, vintage-style dresses, covered in antique lace or emulating the styles of the past, can make you feel like a really special bride.
If you want to be a vintage bride, there are plenty of suppliers in the UK who can help you get in style from head to toe, so get searching!
While vintage weddings are inspired by the past, there's nothing to say it has to be a traditional do. From Teddy Boy grooms to Audrey Hepburn-style brides, choosing to get inspired by vintage is a great way of setting the mood for your day.
There are also lots of other little touches, like hired antique-style crockery that would make your Gran proud, a boogie-woogie band for your entertainment, or decorative touches like ornately-framed mirrors and traditional-style sweet jars, that will really help set the scene.
And a helpful hint for you vintage brides? Check out Etsy, an online marketplace where designers and artists sell all kinds of unique vintage-inspired, handmade pieces that will really help you capture the spirit of the past in your 2011 wedding.
