You can look stunning even in a simple dress if you have the right accessories. Jewelery, hats, gloves, belts and other items should be a part of your outfit if you want to be chic.
In the vintage time accessories were always important. In the 1900s and 1910s accessories consisted of jewelry and gloves.
Hats became popular a little bit later. In the time of the second world war accessories were minimal, since all the countries had to make provisions for the war.
However, all in all there are a lot of beautiful vintage wedding accessories available today. Most of these can be found in antique stores and they usually cost a lot of money.
Vintage jewelry is mostly made of pearls, crystals, silver and gold. Colliers and pendants were the most popular in the vintage decades.
Hats were always very stylish wedding accessories. Various types of hats belong to the retro style from bigger ones to caps, the so called doll hats or tilt hats, and even bonnets. Flat hats were very often worn with wedding gowns, since they used to be so elegant.
Vintage hats can still be found in online shops and stores, mostly sold by collectors. If you like hats you should also look in modern shops because there are a lot of designers who create hats that are inspired by the retro style.
A lot of vintage accessories are made of lace. Small lace and velvet purses also belong to a retro wedding dress: they are tiny but they are made with a lot of care, often embroidered or decorated with ribbons.
Lace parasols were also quite often used by ladies. They were practical and very stylish as well. All of these items can still be found and if you plan a vintage wedding they shouldn't be missing from your outfit. Don't forget about the lace fans either when you make your collection of vintage wedding accessories!
