Attire. If there is one thing that instantly
evokes a specific era, it is its clothing. The entire bridal party
should definitely dress in wedding attire which is inspired by the theme
era. Having a 1950s style celebration? A strapless gown with a full
tulle skirt and pearl bridal jewelry will conjure up the perfect style.
It is not only the bridal style which should suit the vintage time
period; the bridesmaids will look darling in pink strapless tea length
gowns with classic pearl jewelry for the '50s wedding. For a Roaring
'20s wedding, beaded chiffon dresses would be perfect, or choose a silky
bias cut dress for a 1930s Old Hollywood affair.

Flowers.
It many not be as obvious as attire, but every time period definitely
had its own signature flowers as well. If you love the romance of the
Victorian era, pick your bouquet based on the Victorian language of
flowers. The bride who loves the '50s can carry orchids or roses, while
sleek calla lilies will suit a 1930s glamor bride. Select time period
appropriate vessels for the centerpieces to really cement the effect.

Invitations.
Did you know that fonts go in and out of style, just like any other
fashion? The sleek Art Deco lettering of the Jazz Age would be perfect
for your 1920s inspired cocktail party wedding reception. A very ornate
calligraphy will set the tone for a Victorian wedding. If you love the
1960s, check out some of the groovy wavy psychedelic fonts of the era.
How cool would it be to design invitations that look like a colorful
poster advertising a band? For a '50s style wedding, by contrast, stick
with classic black engraving on white or cream paper.

Cake.
This is a key element of any wedding, so be sure that your wedding cake
really brings home the theme of your vintage wedding. A great way to
make your cake fit the era is to find a vintage cake topper. There are
many available, dating back to around the 1920s. You can either choose
to design your cake to look very much like one from the era (the classic
white buttercream cake of the 1950s), or create a cake which is
inspired by the style of the time period, but does not replicate an
original, such as an ice blue and silver cake designed to look like an
Art Deco skyscraper for a '20s theme wedding.
