Picking the Perfect Gown, Accessories, and Jewelry A variety of retro bridal dresses can be found at specialist vintage boutiques and online wedding sites. To get that romantic retro feel, a bride can try using accessories like a crown/tiara, retro-style shoes, and a softly hued bunch of fresh flowers for the bridal bouquet.

Long gone are the days when a morning suit or a tuxedo accessorized with cuff links were the only options to style a man the retro way. Besides a tuxedo, a groom can opt for a waistcoat or suspenders and use accessories like bow ties, cravats, hats, brogues, and a pocket watch. Using old-world fabrics like tweeds, houndstooth, and plaid can also give the groom a retro swagger. The above coupled with a partly gelled hairstyle is sure to raise countless eyebrows on this important day.3.

They’re ready to stock their house and and start showcasing their inner Chip Joanna Gaines. We know building a registry is one of the best parts about getting married for a couple, but what about how easy it makes it for the guests to find great gifts? From contributing to the honeymoon to group-gifting, online wedding registries have taken gift giving to the next level! We’ve mapped out our go-to gifting hacks to make sure you can relax and enjoy celebrating with the newlyweds.Live by the RegistryWe know you love the couple and want to get them something unique, but if they didn’t register for it, DON’T BUY IT. That’s it. Hard and fast rule. If you just can’t control yourself and see something you know would be perfect, be sure to pair it with an item you purchased off the registry. This way, the couple can appreciate your thoughtfulness, while also knowing that you paid attention to their wishes. Hate everything on their registry? Don’t worry, it’s 2017, now you can register to contribute to someone’s honeymoon, new house, or even a romantic dinner!Don’t be Scared of a Good DealSee something on a couple’s registry for cheaper elsewhere? Awesome! Snag it up. The couple doesn’t mind where you purchase the item from, as long as it’s what they asked for. Don’t worry if the item is less than on the registry; your friends don’t care about how much you spend, just that you were thoughtful enough to give a gift in the first place. Be sure to head back to their online registry and mark the item as “purchased,” because nobody needs two KitchenAid mixers (unless you’re a pro baker, in which case, please invite us to your wedding).Go Big with a Group GiftWant to make a big impression without breaking the bank? Grab your friends and take out your credit cards! It’s the new-age of wedding registries, and that means that those super expensive gifts can now be covered by a group of friends. What better way to make a big impression than by giving a big group gift? The couple will love you and your friends will think you’re a rockstar for coming up with such a great gift idea!Let your Postal Worker do the WorkSo now that you’ve decided on what exactly to get the new couple, how is your gift going to get there? Between destination weddings and multi-location celebrations, the logistics of getting your gift to the couple can be a nightmare. Luckily, that’s where the glory of the registry steps in. Purchase the item from their online registry and have it shipped directly to their home! You don’t have to lug it around, they don’t have to worry about transporting it home, and best of all, no one has to lose a finger trying to wrap an awkwardly shaped box. While we’re all about the ease of this new-age gift giving, be sure to sprinkle a bit of tradition on the day and pick up a card for the big day!There you have it, a great gift purchased and delivered without ever leaving your couch. Feeling relieved from the gift giving pressure? Great, now that you’re done stressing over the gift, you can worry about the fun stuff, like what you’re going to wear (and no, you still can't wear white)!If you're anything like me, you've been struggling to find a groom or groomsmen gift that the guys willactually want ANDthat you can feel good about purchasing.

Let us know in the comments and be sure to check out our Pinterest page for more wedding inspiration!Picking out the perfect, dreamy wedding flowers for yourspecial dayis usually a much anticipated checklist item for many brides and grooms. However, there is a right and wrong way to go about it! Scrolling Pinterest to find floralinspiration can be fun, but at some point you'll have to get down to business and make a selection with a florist or wedding vendor. If you want to make sure you choose gorgeous AND affordable flowers, here are seven wedding flower mistakes wedding planners and florists say you can easily avoid.1. The Inspiration ObsessionFor many brides who get inspired by a certain type of flower, they often become obsessed with trying to replicate the image they've seen on Pinterest or in a magazine. However, most florists and wedding planners agree that instead of trying to duplicate an image, it's best to use that image as a starting point for a new interpretation of that image.2. Saying No Too SoonFor some couples who decide early on that wedding flowers aren't a top priority for their ceremony, they may say no far too soon. Rather than decide to fill your venue with non-floral objects such as candles because you think you'll save lots of money, check into online wedding flowers that are far less expensive than traditional florists. In many cases, DIY wedding flowers or simple (but beautiful!) can cost as much as 50 percent less than the standardfloral arrangement.3.A Strict Color PaletteWhen it comes to color palettes and flower types, be sure to always keep an open mind. If you're able to stay loose and flexible during the floral selection process, chances are you'll be able to purchase online wedding flowers that will make your wedding day even more beautiful. And along with this, you'll be able to take advantage of some rare flowers that may be in bloom when you're ready to walk down the aisle.4.Arrangement OverloadWhile some couples feel as if they need few if any flowers in their venue, other couples do the opposite and decide they've got to have flowers in every nook and cranny. As a result, every table may find itself filled with flowers. However, once the venue fills up with guests, the tables and other parts of the room may start to look cluttered. Look to have a fewfloral arrangements that will be incredible statement pieces, like your alter or photo backdrop, and tone down the rest.5. All Your Eggs in One BasketSince flowers are very seasonal, you may find yourself preparing to use one flower and then have to change plans at the last minute if poor weather results in you not being able to get the flowers you had your heart set on from day one. To avoid being disappointed and having to make a last-minute change, find out what's in season at the time of your wedding and choose accordingly.6.Unreal InspirationWhile it's nice to be inspired, don't let your inspiration cloud your thinking when it comes to reality. If you do, chances are you'll pay more for your flowers and you'll also be disappointed if you have to make an alternate selection.7. NotConsidering Your VenueWhether you've selected a grand ballroom or a simple country church for your wedding, choosing the right type of flowers to fit your theme can make a bigdifference. By taking into consideration the venue's size, lighting, colors, linens, and other aspects, you will have little difficulty choosing the perfect flowers to fit your venue's style.Since your wedding day is supposed to be perfect in every way, you'll naturally want to avoid these common wedding flower mistakes. Whether it's taking your venue's style into consideration, not putting all your eggs in one basket, or letting your inspiration get the best of you, taking the time to think clearly and follow the advice of seasoned floral professionals will ensure your wedding day will go off without a hitch.Carol Combs has been in the fashion industry for over 10 years.
