Vintage usually refers to the 1960 and before. Everything after 1960 is coined as retro. Vintage themes could include Hollywood glamor from the 1920s or 30s, gangster themes from the 1920s (complete with a speakeasy style reception), wartime glamor and swing style of the 1940s and rock n rolls beginnings with the 1950s.

A 1920s theme would include flapper style vintage bridesmaid dresses, long pearls, cloche hats and mary jane shoes. Groom and groomsmen can wear gangster style pin stripe suits, and the bride will look magnificent in a drop waist bridal gown.

A 1930s or 40s theme would look fantastic with mermaid style gowns, faux pearl necklaces and glamorous faux fur or feather jackets. Grooms would wear traditional tuxedos as per the fashion of the 4os and groomsmen could wear the same or a plain black suit with bow tie.

For the 1950s Swing is in style or Marilyn Monroe dresses for the bridesmaids. Look like a million bucks walking down the aisle in a sleek swing skirt vintage wedding dress.
