There is an article from Huffington Post that is being shared on Facebook by Heather Sharpe Senior Editor of the fabulous Style Unveiled wedding resource (I feel like I need a geneology tree to track back)about the End of the Vintage Wedding. If you feel a wind blowing it is the collective sigh of relief from many designers and artists in the wedding world.
But not from me. Oh yes, I agree the vintage typewriter as a prop is as conceptually bruised and wilted as the wedding flowers with which it once shared space. But the authentic country wedding or the need to keep it fun for no money or the fact that you are a bride who cans their veg every fall or wants to play in that life for a while will keep the Mason Jar Motif alive. As long as life is complicated the appeal for simplicity as made manifest through objects from our collective past will always appeal.
However, the article suggests we will see the tide turn towards the elegant wedding, the more traditional - creating it from the same lace cloth as what made Lady Kate's wedding.
I contend that your wedding is a heart fantasy expressing itself on the earthly plain. Whether vintage or traditional, modern or eclectic, whimsical or magical, whatever words you choose - you want your wedding to be the expression of yourselves right at this moment; are any of us just one thing?
The only thing I know is the look of your wedding must be authentically you - to you - your heart. Your family and friends will know it and feel it as soon as they see it. And if next year if you find your self loving Bedemeir over Laura Ashley you can go with that flow for as long as it lasts - no matter if Huffington Post says so or not.
