Your wedding day should be: retro style？

Every bride has to have something that fulfils this wedding custom and many choose vintage wedding jewellery for their "something old". Ideally this would be an old family heirloom from the bride's mother's jewellery box or vintage mother of bride dress, but this isn't always available so buying some vintage wedding jewellery becomes an option. Whether it is a necklace or pendant, bracelet, earrings, brooch or charm, the choice of jewellery always needs to take into account the wedding dress and the outfit as a whole. One note on the choice of a necklace - always consider the neckline of the wedding dress. A V-neck will suit a drop or pendant necklace, while a round neckline would be complimented by a choker more. A more modern wedding in which the bride is not wearing the traditional white dress would be complimented by a brightly coloured enamel brooch perhaps. For those wanting something even less traditional a Gothic-style piece of Victorian antique jewellery would work. Nor should wedding jewellery just fulfil the "something old" - there is some beautiful vintage wedding jewellery that can cover the "something blue" too, especially if the bride's dress or even the bridesmaids' outfits feature some blue in them. The idea of wearing a vintage wedding dress often first occurs to a future bride as she is looking through a photo album with pictures of her mother's and grandmother's weddings. Many brides-to-be catch themselves admiring the elegance and craftsmanship of these earlier dresses, and thinking to herself that they just don't make them like that any longer. Except they do. Many contemporary dress makers actually specialize in producing vintage wedding dresses for brides who specifically wish to replicate a look from an earlier era. And not only are they beautiful, but they are also symbolic. A vintage dress can often be a new bride's way of establishing an organic connection with all that has come before, and a way of demonstrating a commitment to the future that reflects the love and joy of the past. A vintage wedding dress conveys a feeling of timelessness and lasting beauty. And what better message to send on your wedding day than one that says that like those who have come before you, this too is forever. This too will last.
