Did you know that retro style weddings from the 1920s to 1950s are making a comeback? I’m excited about an article I recently read, which states that vintage apparel and simple weddings are a popular trend among modern day brides. Why? Cost.
Back in the day, brides had small, simple weddings, which kept the price down. Ask your grandmother about her wedding.
How can you go vintage? Visit consignment boutiques, resale stores, flea markets, antique shops maybe even the Salvation Army. Who knows what treasures you might find -- a wedding gown, accessories, bridesmaid’s dresses, etc. Consider having your intimate wedding at a small venue or at your home.
I’m very excited to hear about the retro wedding trend because they cost less and reduce waste since the focus is to reuse vintage items and keep it simple. It’s also eco-friendly. Two of the three Rs: Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.
