Ask ten people what vintage means, and you are likely to get ten different answers. Vintage is loosely defined, yet instantly recognizable – vintage is any element that evokes a feeling of bygone eras, of the good old days now past. Vintage is something not modern or contemporary, but not yet antique.

Vintage is a feeling. It is remembrance and nostalgia and beauty. And because of these emotions that vintage can elicit, it is a popular wedding theme; what better way to celebrate a wedding than to declare something new while surrounded by things familiar and meaningful?

There are hundreds of ways that you can incorporate vintage elements into your wedding. From holding the ceremony at an old family homestead, to wearing your grandmother’s wedding veil, every aspect of your wedding can be touched with memorabilia and meaning. Sometimes it is simply using accents and details that are a bit worn, a bit used, that remind us of where we come from.

One of the most popular ways to add a vintage feel to your ceremony is through the use of pearls. A string of pearls is quintessentially classic. Worn by the bride as a necklace or as part of a headpiece, pearls are a truly graceful touch; while a bouquet of elegant white blooms literally dripping in pearls and lace is a sophisticated homage to generations before. Dresses adorned in vintage lace, or stoles clasped with a vintage silver pin or brooch passed down from beloved relatives are also meaningful additions.
