One of today’s most popular wedding trends seems to be the vintage wedding.  Period fabrics like antique lace, tulle and chiffon are quickly becoming the preferred wedding gown materials.  Victorian-style scroll-work is incorporated into wedding cake decorations and wedding favors.  There’s an increased demand for vintage cake toppers, wedding invitations, and decoration ideas.  Couples are booking sites such as historic American hotels, elegant ballrooms, or old Victorian-style homes to hold their wedding ceremonies in. 

Creating a vintage atmosphere for your wedding and reception can be challenging, but there are many resources online and in libraries that can be invaluable.  The first thing to do is to choose a time era you want to work within and then keep that focus throughout the planning of your wedding.  Incorporate the music, foods, colors and styles of that period.  Whether you’re dreaming of a garden wedding at an old southern plantation, or a Hollywood era wedding at a restored theatre, you’ll want to do your research.  Remember the secret to creating a successful theme wedding of any kind is found in the details.
