With the current fashion for wearing vintage clothes it is not surprising that many brides want to add a little vintage style to the outfit for their special day.  There is a traditional wedding day rhyme which states what is needed – Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue.  The ‘Something Old’ could be the dress itself or a gorgeous antique necklace, or a vintage bracelet, maybe a pretty old beaded handbag or a lace fan.  A great idea for a unique wedding hair ornament for the bride (or the bridesmaids too) is to use a pretty vintage brooch to decorate a modern hair band.  It is important to choose a brooch that is light in weight so it anchors easily to the hair band and sits perfectly in place.  After the wedding the brooch can be easily detached and worn for ever – a lovely keepsake.

Examples of this idea are shown on my website www.bagthejewels.co.uk.  Caroline

Did you know?

A vintage product is called vintage when it is over 20 years old. You can call something antique when it is over 50-75 years old.
