What is a Vintage Wedding?

You might be wondering what makes a vintage wedding theme. Often it's the details, location and the décor but the theme accompanies glam to rustic and everything in between. Vintage weddings are typically more intimate in terms of setting. Decor features details like decorative pearl, lace, and burlap, or can include more white, gold and black for a vintage glam vibe. Vintage-themed weddings look great held in venues like barns, historical homes, backyards of a historical mansion, or mountain lodges.

Here are some twists on vintage themes and the details you include make the theme come to life:

• Victorian
• Rustic
• Modern
• Old-fashioned
• Vintage Old Hollywood
• Outdoor
• Glam
• Roaring 20s
• Boho 60s
• Retro 70s

Tips for Shopping for Vintage-Style Jewelry

We've compiled some helpful hints as you shop for vintage jewelry.

• Keep your budget in mind as you shop for jewelry. Include money for wedding jewelry in your wedding budget. And these pieces can be worn after the wedding, plus they make cherished keepsakes.
• If you'd prefer to have simpler jewelry and are concerned about budget, select plain metal jewelry or pieces that feature more affordable gemstones (lab diamonds or diamond alternatives like moissanite or cubic zirconia).
• If you want to mix metals in your jewelry, keep similar tones together. For example, pair rose gold with yellow gold or platinum with white gold.
• Buy from a reputed brand that offers easy returns/exchange if you're dissatisfied with the product or have an issue. Research the warranty, reputation of the company and the exchange/refund policy.
• Choose a lab-made diamond or a natural diamond that is certified by reputable organizations like Gemological Institute of America (GIA) or the International Gemological Institute (IGI).
