The craze for vintage style continues to appear on everything wedding, from the bridal gown and hair pieces, to wedding invitations and honeymoon cars. But what exactly makes something vintage, and why is it so sought after?

The Modern Appeal of Vintage Style

Vintage sometimes gets a bad rap as a euphemism for old-fashioned. But the broadening appeal of vintage style has more to do with people’s yearning for authenticity and uniqueness in our modern age of mass production. Something ‘vintage’ is deemed intrinsically valuable because it was made exclusively for a limited period of time or in limited quantities. The other appealing aspect of vintage is perceived quality–that there is a certain level of personal craftsmanship, or at the very least, a considerable amount of handiwork.

Bringing a vintage style to your wedding can be as inexpensive or over the top as your budget allows. You can go vintages with every element of your wedding planning, or choose just a few important ones. Vintage wedding invitations, wedding gowns, jewelry and table centerpieces are popular elements brides choose to apply this style.

Many Variations of Vintage

Certain common features turn a traditional wedding invitation design into a unique vintage-style piece. The most common elements have to do with a soft or romantic color palette, intricate illustration, and ornate, unique fonts. Here are some good examples:
