These days a bride can have just about anything she wants when it comes to a wedding theme.
But many of us still like to keep it simple.
We appreciate the beauty and the accessories of times gone by and we want to take a step back in time with our wedding.
We want to live out a fairy tale that involves the beauty and the simple times of the past.
This is how having a vintage wedding can satisfy your wants and needs for stepping back in time.
In fact vintage bridal accessories and vintage as a theme for weddings is quite popular and is a current trend among brides.
The one good thing is that vintage items are readily available, easy to find and can be fairly inexpensive depending on your tastes.
Of course there is high end vintage as with anything else.
A good place to start is deciding which items you are going to incorporate into your wedding, whether it be something as big as your wedding gown or as small as your "something blue item".
Brides may decide to also incorporate something in their theme such as vintage music to really give them a feel of the past.
When searching for your items, you may choose to wear a wedding gown that you scoured the thrift stores for or one that is a family heirloom, whether from your mom, your grandmother or some other important relative.
Accessories for something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue are another great way to incorporate those vintage items into your wedding and take you back a few years, whether you choose to purchase those items or find them from your family and friends.
Music can really set the tone of a wedding and take everyone "back in time".
So if you really want a vintage feel this may be the way to go whether you hire a string orchestra or you just have someone spin some old records.
When it comes to shopping for those vintage items you can start with local antique or consignment shops, and even thrift stores, or you can go online to eBay or even Etsy where crafters create sometimes new creations that have that vintage look and feel.
No matter which way you choose to find the items for your vintage wedding it is sure to be a hit and make your special day a day that you'll never forget no matter what century it is truly set in.
