This wedding concept can be achieved by either going fully vintage, or having a mix with the contemporary, for example, by adding a touch of vintage detailing or accessories with things like vintage glassware which can be used as centrepieces, or vintage serving dishes, cutlery, or ornate vintage inspired wedding cakes made up of just a couple tiers.

Having vintage style weddings in winter is one of the biggest trends right now, and a great way to save money if you are on a tight budget.

Other ways to save money is by visiting estate sales, trunk sales or bazaars where the odd one of a kind piece can be discovered.

Ball gowns are back in style and are the appropriate wear for that time of the year. They possess so much opulence and glitter and the best choice of ball gowns are those that are full, dazzling and breathtakingly beautiful.

Many see pure white bridal gowns as the only classic colour for bridal dresses, but gowns with colour, or with a dash of colour has suddenly become a hot trend with wedding gown designers.

There are ivory white gowns, champagne, pearled gold and even red and black gowns, which occupy a pretty large portion of today's bridal apparel market. The truth is that the vintage gowns are back again and they now come in attractive colours that are richly crafted into bridal dress designs. It’s been predicted that some day, these coloured bridal wears may steal the shine off pure white wedding gowns.

Wearing Victorian style winter bridal gowns accented with gold tones are popular for winter or fall weddings. Choose darker coloured gowns in tones like champagne and dark ivory, especially in natural fabrics such as raw silk. Wear gold jewellery accessories to compliment these colours and textures. There is just something timeless about the richness of gold that adds luxury and elegance to bridal wears.

For a style that is sexy and modern yet classic, go for the enchanting look of a Greek goddess-inspired style that can be a long and fluid gown, or a romantic dress with overlapping layers.

And if the gown purchased is white but a vintage shade is preferred, it can always be dyed to make it look vintage well ahead of time.

For the perfect vintage look, wear antique-silver hair accessories and jewellery, bird cage veils or visor veils, as well as prominent feather and flower combs or tiaras. Long dramatic beaded gloves are good for extra glamour, drawing attention to the bridal gown and re-enacting the fashion style of the 1920s.

Accentuate with big bold jewellery that has clusters of gems or faux gems, or long strands of large pearls and beads. The natural shape and beauty of fresh water pearls mixed with glazed stones and dazzling Swarovski crystals, shows exquisite bridal fashion, taste and style.

Having a bare neckline and wearing large and prominent chandelier earrings paired with a wide bold cuff bracelet will really make a statement.
