This wedding season is coloured by the intrigue of anything vintage. From gowns to accessories unique touches of ‘something old’’ complement your something new and even add new meaning to your something blue. Fashionable hairstyles like the classic French twist, the chignon, and the milk-maid braid are once again at the forefront. Hats and bird-cage veils that cover part of the face introduce the look of the 20’s while the Spanish-style mantilla veil is feminine and ornate.

Accessories like flowers, feathers, and sparkling brooches decorate the hair or any part of the dress.

Brides are getting more creative, writing their own love story, weaving their own personal history in every element of their wedding. Perhaps a touch of colour on the crinoline peeking through a tea-length dress, a bright flower on the side of the hair, or even a daring red shoe will tell your story. Or maybe you prefer to wear contrasting coloured gloves or multiple strands of pearls to take tradition to the next level. How will you leave your mark in this fairytale? How will you embrace a touch of history to this modern day wedding?
