Jewelry
Vintage wedding jewelry can actually be one of the most important details of the ensemble. What's even better is that you will want to wear it again because it's currently in style and can go with so many other outfits!
There are a lot to choose from but the most popular designs seen are usually pearls and larger pieces of off-center rhinestones. Because of the simplicity of the rest of the attire, you can get by with a more elaborate jewelry set. This can be a focal point to complement your dress and headpiece.

Shoes
You have to love an occasion to wear cute strappy shoes, or thick lower heals like traditional "pumps" with large bows, buckles, or jewels. Or how about wearing the still-stylish lace up "granny boots" for kicks under your vintage gown? You may have some trouble making up your mind with this one because there are TONS of cute shoe options to choose.

Flowers
Flowers play an important role in the vintage wedding. Real wedding bouquets in the 1920's were HUGE! They were sometimes longer than the hemlines! But what a gorgeous tradition, and one you should consider keeping for a truly authentic and beautiful vintage wedding.
Be sure to include lots of roses, hydrangeas, and lilacs to match the heirloom tones of the style.

Favors and Gifts
Make sure to have plenty of vintage style favors to thank your guests for sharing your day.
And
for your guys and dolls who stood up with you while you said your "I
Do's", don't forget to present them with a great gift. For the
groomsmen, pocket watches have been a traditional favorite and go with
the overall theme. For the bridesmaids, maybe consider that dazzling
vintage necklace set for the special day.
Photographer
You'll want to preserve the charm of the day with excellent photography. Make sure your photographer knows your theme ahead of time. They may have some creative ideas to help you record the moments. Vintage wedding photos look especially elegant in black and white so be sure to have some printed in a true old-fashioned way!
Getaway Car
Some couples have even gone so far as to rent vintage vehicles from the 20's or 30's to magically transport them as husband and wife. Imagine the great photo opportunities around this set of wheels!
After almost an entire century, we're still drawn to these styles. They're timeless and classy. Weddings are the perfect opportunity to bring them back for a day! With these essentials, you can be the best "ragtime bride" that's ever walked down the aisle!
