Make Mine Vintage

One of the current wedding trends I absolutely adore is the return of vintage dresses and themes to our "oh so modern" society. I think I was born much too late; I am always drawn to clothing, artwork, books, collectibles and everything else vintage. Even my closest friends, who are considerably older than I, tease me that they are part of my admiration for all things vintage. Whether people believe it or not, I'm an old soul in a lot of ways. I suppose this is the reason I am loving this comeback so much.

Today I have managed to get myself tangled in the webs of a site devoted to vintage wedding attire and my severe case of lust for times long passed has taken a turn for the worse. It is too early to determine exactly how much longer I have unless I am treated for this affliction soon (and aggressively). I have not been able to tear myself away from Vintage Wedding all afternoon. As a matter of fact, I am still browsing the site and some of their equally interesting links as I write this.

The clothing on this site ranges from under garments and accessories to dresses, as well as suits for men. Mind you, these are not replicas (unless otherwise noted), but actual vintage items. Some of the gowns and such have never even been worn, while others need minor repair or cleaning. If you are considering going with a vintage theme, it may be worth taking a look.

While replicas may be easier to find and involve less work (in the case of repair, it may be challenging to locate suitable materials, for example), if you are an old soul like me, you really may get a kick out of being married in actual vintage apparel.

I am sure by now it is no secret how I feel. I love the vintage trend; from the attire, to the added touches. Vintage favors, music, decor and anything else you can think of will all add to your vintage wedding theme. I may be biased, but I do not think you can ever have too much of a good thing.....as long as that "thing" is vintage!

Wooden Wedding and Engagement Rings

I must admit as a lover of all things that glitter and sparkle (I think I was a magpie in a previous life!) I was not sure what to make of wooden wedding and engagement rings. But after looking at wooden jewellery sites on the internet, I have discovered that they are not what I imaged them to be.

I was expecting something quite wide, thick and not very feminine. Yes, there are designs, exactly like in gold and silver rings, that are a wide band style, for those women who can pull off chunkier jewellery or for men. But there are also delicate designs; beautifully carved, some out of two different types of wood and even some with silver inlays. You can also have a diamond set into a design, for those wanting a more unusual engagement ring.

So why would you choose a ring made from wood? For some their choice will be an environmental one, as normally the wood used, is salvaged wood, and the ring is more eco-friendly than a metal one.

But for others it will be because of what this material symbolises. Wood, as we all know comes from trees, and is a living matter. Wood has been on its own life journey. It changes and grows, trees expand and contract, when their environment alters. Which are all of the things that we have to learn to do, in order to build and grow our own relationships.

With the exchanging of wooden rings, you are symbolising the giving of life, your life, to each other, and pledging to grow and shape together in your new life together.

Find wooden rings as sites such as Simply Wood Rings.

The Jesus Peiro 2009 Collection

A finish that has been compared to haute couture, is how Jesus Peiro wedding dresses have been described. And this reputation is certainly one on which the company, founded in 1988 in Spain, have built on. The Jesus Peiro brand, pride themselves on setting trends and on satisfying today’s discerning bride.

Their 2009 collection offers elegant gowns of extremely high quality, which will certainly give you the 'wow' from your guests that every bride dreams of.

The collection features dresses tailored in a variety of materials, lace features on a number of the designs mirroring the continued love of vintage this season. I have picked out some of my favourites from the collection.

Dress 9027 is a graceful halter neck gown, with small beautifully crafted buttons, running down the back of the dress, which finishes in a flowing skirt. Other than the buttons at the back, the gown is completely unadorned but this simplicity allows each bride to personalise their look with accessories of their choice.

Staying with clean designs, gown 9053 offers the bride an empire style dress, with a strapless neckline and slim ribbon of material on which a diamante brooch is fixed just under the bust. The skirt falls elegantly to the floor with a train at the back.

If you love lace dresses, number 9098 is particularly pretty, it features a full lace halter neck dress, together with layers of net making up the train at the back of the gown.

But my personal favourite is gown 9076, which has high slash neckline but a deep plunging ‘V’ at the back, it is decorated with a sash at the waist again with an unadorned skirt, which finishes in a small train.

If you would like to view their collection for yourself a list of stockists can be found on their website www.jesuspeiro.com
