Wedding blogs, magazines, and inspiration boards are all the rave with so called “vintage or vintage inspired” wedding day looks. I have to wonder, are we really inspired by treasured memories or duped into helping someone unload used crap?
Well, let’s see; generally speaking, vintage withstands the test of time, typically 20 years or longer. I would also like to add that vintage symbolizes a time in one’s life where meaning and purpose has established the overall life lessons that makes us who we are today—sounds better right?
If you are forced to carry your grandmother’s dirty old hanky on your wedding day simply because she wiped away her tears—touching, but crap; however; if you carry grandma’s hanky that she used on her wedding day, and later used the same hanky to wave good-bye to her husband as he went off to war—that’s vintage. Your vintage look must tell a story. What is the story behind your vintage wedding day look?
