ENGAGING PERSONALITIES

Vintage The vintage bride is looking for heirloom-style wedding accents with modern techniques, and she can achieve that look with design details. Whether it is Art Deco or the Victorian Era, the small touches set the tone. Her dress features lace, beaded details, and a sleek silhouette with a nod to the past. Attendees can expect a venue with historical charm in the architecture, like stunning arches, tiled floors, and moody colors. The guestbook might be auditory with an antique rotary dial phone that allows guests to record well wishes and messages. Wedding-goers can expect the musical playlist to have a mix of old and new, such as Frank Sinatra for a romantic dance or some ABBA to get the dance floor going. The jewelry will play on those same designs. Marquise, pear, and emer- ald stones are signature vintage centerpieces. This look can be enhanced with a variety of stone shapes surrounding the center stone to create an Art Deco design. Milgrain details in the metal help bring an heirloom feel to a new ring. Beveled edges can also achieve this look, and brides can pair bracelets with mixed stone shapes, simple drop earrings, and pavé details. The vintage bride is able to blend the old and new to have the best of both worlds to create a piece to last a lifetime.
