To keep with that vintage feeling, brides will forego the typical tiara/veil for a simple pearl and crystal head band, occasionally with a little feather. In lieu of the average bouquet of roses, brides will choose a simple handful of white lilies or a large feathered fan that flutters like a white cloud in the bride's hand. Setting aside the diamonds, brides will choose a pearl beaded pair of earrings, and a long pearl necklace wound several times for various lengths as their adornments.
Showing a little skin is appropriate in a few marriage settings, or at the reception. However, in a church setting, one may need to cover themselves. To keep with the authentic look, one can utilize a pure lace shawl or faux fur stole to cover your shoulders during the ceremony. An Art Deco beaded silk drape which wears like a luxurious robe is also acceptable.
The elegance of days gone by can still be had at your wedding if one knows where to find it.
