Gatsby Glamour
Many 2014 weddings will be transformed in true Gatsby style into decadent Deco affairs! Cue a big comeback for wedding forehead bands and feather flourishes. Expect to see fab Art Deco style accessories to complete the ‘Daisy’ look!
Back to Front
As more designers create fabulously embellished back panels on dresses, expect brides to look as good from behind as from the front. We are seeing increasing demand for back jewellery and striking wedding hair accessories that beautifully frame vintage style chignons.
50 Shades of Non-ivory
Soft tonal pastel shades of taupe, gold and palest pink continue to gather favour on the international bridal catwalks. Gilt or gold accessories will complement the warmth in these shades beautifully.
Downton Delights
No doubt influenced in some small part by Downton Abbey, designers have introduced many Edwardian inspired touches in their wedding gown styling. Team with simple ribbon headbands and add more intricate flourishes through your choice of wedding jewellery and accessories (don’t forget the all important brooches and cocktail bags for this look).
Time for Tea
Tealength (or ballerina length) dresses heark back to a glamorous 1950s matinee look. These elegant gowns were everywhere on the 2014 catwalks and are just made for pearls – team with pearl earrings, pearl necklaces, pearl hair accessories and pearl bracelets for sophisticated vintage elegance.
Flirty 30s
Forget demure 30s dresses – welcome clingy, sensual satin bias cut gowns to showcase the female form as brides shimmy down the aisle. Choose sultry, sassy, minimalist bridal accessories to complement the clean lines of this look.
All accessories featured are available for purchase at http://www.vintagebridalaccessories.co.uk

So the question has been popped, the venue booked and now for the most important part – shopping! Where to begin? What’s in, what’s out, what are the hot trends on the bridal scene? We’ve put together a fab synopsis of ideas influenced by the leading bridal designers on the international catwalks and suggestions of some of our beautiful bridal accessories…………
TRENDS BY VINTAGE ERA
VICTORIANA
Underwear becomes outerwear – Victorian corsets (and high necklines, more of which later) have made their way from the fashion runways to bridal runways. Chokers are key to achieving the elegance of this look, teamed up with crystal teardrops on all accessories.
ART DECO
Art Deco influences continue to delight – think geometric patterns, long pearls and lots of fringes!
1930s
Greta Garbo and Jean Harlow style reinvented through dropped waist, swishy gowns – team with hints of Deco style and a flourish of feathers……
1940s
The ‘Golden Age’ of Hollywood – add a dash of Katherine Hepburn glamour with our fab vintage inspired hair accessories and check out our REAL vintage jewellery and brooches to complete your look.
1970s
Boho chic, gypsy feel (but less ‘My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding’ and more of a sassy ethnic twist) – go for gold to achieve that sun-kissed St Tropez touch of magic!
TRENDS BY DRESS STYLE
BALLERINA
Black Swan when she was still White! Ethereal, romantic , sweet- add delicate accessories with the lightest of touches.
LACE
All hail Princess Kate for allowing us to rediscover the fabulousness of lace – regal, understated beauty. Pearls with lace – strawberries with cream – can’t have one without the other…….
OLD HOLLYWOOD GLAMOUR
Grace Kelly drama with a sophisticated sense of style – check out our multistrand pearl necklaces and classic style earrings which work a treat with this look.
RUFFLES
Did they ever go away? Anyway they’re back and bigger than ever! Delightful, frothy girly – team with our fabulous spray pins and organza cuff for that light-as-air feel.
HALTERNECKS
Developing the Victoriana theme, designers are buttoning us up at the neck – but don’t panic, with their sheer overlays, these halternecks are anything but prudish – team with chandelier earrings and a fabulous multi-layered bracelet for a statement look.
SCULPTURAL
For the modernista, city chic bride, clean simple lines which work great with Deco geometrics or can be softened with the addition of a structured flower (orchids are great).
SHORT
1960s influences creeping through here, capturing the trend for a second bridal ‘dance’ dress (one where your legs are unemcumbered with a ton of organza!) – bigger, bolder accessories suit this look – go for noticeable, dramatic statement pieces.
And FINALLY don’t forget to check out our fab range of authentic vintage and vintage inspired handbags for that final touch! Visit us at http://www.vintagebridalaccessories.co.uk
Vintage botanical prints have not only seen a re-emergence on the homewares front but have been recently translated into high fashion on the global catwalks (see Miu Miu and Pucci).
Leaves, branches, plants, fern prints – nature takes a step back to basics – design inspiration from time immemorial is revisited once more.
Our third UK celeb vintage bride in as many months – retro inspired bridal wear is definitely having its moment! It was no suprise to us that Kate Moss chose a vintage look (we had a 50/50 odds on whether it would be Deco or Boho inflenced).
Kate’s fabulous John Galliano dress and veil echoed flowing, understated 1920s style with a boho chic informality. Kate is ahead of the bridal fash-pack (no surprise there!) with her subtle hints of gold reflecting the bolder hues apparent on the recent 2012 Barcelona catwalks (by Rosa Clara).
Gold accessories are making a comeback as the perfect accent to creamy ivory tones of vintage lace and tulle. Browse some of our fab gilt accessories for your Big Day.
Fab choice also for late summer and Autumn brides who wish to capture those fading rays of summer – gold with topaz reflects the season beautifully. See our complete collection at http://www.vintagebridalaccessories.co.uk
