When getting married you want and deserve to have the best that you possibly can on your special day, whilst saving money at the same time. With the cost of living continuously growing and the recession still looming it is likely that your budget is feeling like it’s being pushed and squeezed in several directions. One item that is of utmost importance without a doubt is the wedding dress and if your on a strict budget it is likely that you are conscious of not breaking the bank.

Choosing to have a vintage wedding has become more popular over the past few years with a vintage inspired bride (and groom!) planning and designing their special day around an era from the past such as the art deco of the 1930′s or the rock and roll of the 1950′s.

With pastel colours and white and ivory lace wedding dresses adorned in pearls, vintage screams girly and feminine. Accessorise your wedding dress with a bird cage veil or lace head piece and opt for jewellery that dazzles with crystals or pearls.

The trend began a few years back and since then has been seen everywhere from the glossy bridal wear magazines to the ever popular wedding planning websites, therefore there are plenty of places to gain inspiration alongside your own. With many celebrities opting for the vintage look it seems there is no getting away from it!

Vintage themed weddings are affordable to all brides as you can easily adapt it to fit around your own wedding budget. Be it an intimate celebration in your own home or a grand formal wedding day, a stunning decor created with inspirational vintage accessories can be made by yourself and volunteers from your bridal party, bought online or tracked down through antique stores and car boot sales. Restoring an old typewriter, gramophone or sewing machine would work as a great focal point for your day.

The Anna Sorrano gown we have chosen for this week’s wedding dress of the week is style 1103. This classically-shaped taffeta gown is given a modern twist with a pleat effect skirt giving a casual, ethereal look. The back laces up for more of a structure look from behind, and the look is finished with asymmetric ruching at the hip and a full train.

Your bridal wear jewellery is an important accessory to your wedding gown. There are many options available, from different variations of metals including silvers and golds, to precious gems and stones such as cubic zirconia, Austrian and swarovski crystal and not forgetting diamonds. What you choose ultimately depends on your individual style and budget.

Many brides will take inspiration from their wedding gown when selecting their jewellery and will create a style or look around that so they work in harmony together. It is essential your jewellery does not overpower your wedding dress and works well with your other accessories, such as your veil and tiara. Other elements to consider include the type of ceremony you are having and your hairstyle. Your individual items do not necessarily have to match but they should compliment each other.

The colour of your wedding dress is also a deciding factor. If you’re having a white wedding gown then silver and white pearls would work best, whereas an ivory dress would be more suited to ivory pearls and gold or silver. A gold or champagne coloured wedding dress looks great with gold coloured jewellery. Sparkles such as diamante, crystals and diamonds work with with all types of wedding dresses.

Alternatively you may be wearing a family heirloom or something loaned to you from a friend as part of your ‘something borrowed’ or perhaps your husband to be is going to treat you to your ‘something new’ with a special item of jewellery to wear on your wedding day.
