Accessories are a great way to add a vintage flare to your wedding. Having the groomsmen wear vests or vintage pocket-watches or bridesmaids carrying parasols is a fun touch, and of course a vintage hair accessory always looks gorgeous.

Lace, lace, and more lace. Seriously, don’t forget the lace!

Go treasure hunting at local vintage and resale stores for unexpected items that can double as flower vases or other wedding decor. We love these trophies-turned-garden containers!

Same goes for frames and mirrors. You can use vintage frames to display old family photos (what’s more vintage than that?!) or use vintage mirrors as seating charts, menus, or table numbers.

Vintage book pages, postcards and sheet music make for great table runners, settings, and decor. Use it liberally! You can also incorporate them into your wedding invitation design to keep the theme going.
