A Vintage Wedding

Vintage wedding fashion is a definite head-turner as it is different and something that people don’t see everyday. The old trends, made popular in those days, are making a comeback as they are timeless. Check out your parents’ wedding photos, you can be inspired. MUAs these days are well trained to create all sorts of hair designs and makeup styles. I am amazed by the stunning intricate plaits which match the dress with flower embroidery for a retro Chinese traditional look. You can go for a more traditional Chinese Shanghai style, the retro Hollywood glitz, casual bohemian, sixties pillbox hat, gatsby, etc. There are also other tips such as photography location, where to find your vintage gown, car rental and photography vendors. Decorate the wedding venue with china plates, wooden boxes, succulents, antiques.
