Book Reviews of Your Vintage Wedding: Unique Ideas and Inspiration for Today's Bride
Book Review: Attractive book, not as detailed as it could be
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a nice general overview of wedding fashion and trends from 1910-1950, especially if you want a vintage wedding but aren't yet sure of what era you are interested in. But I already knew what era I wanted to emulate (1910ish) and so most of the information I didn't really need. There is a lot more information for the later decades in the book than the earlier ones, and overall there could have been more information on the small details, such as favors, food, floral. For example, it listed trends for the 1910s but they were trends of the decade, not trends for weddings of that decade. Very pretty book, well laid out, nice photgraphs and "case studies" of recent vintage themed weddings, but if you want a specific decade, get this book from the library and look elsewhere for specific details.

From the Art Nouveau elegance of the 1910s to the Art Deco Hollywood glamour of the 1920s; from the night-club and caf? society of the 1930s and 1940s to the Audrey Hepburn-era elegance of the 1950s, Your Vintage Wedding reveals what weddings were like during these periods and how to add vintage elements to invitations, flowers, photography, music, menus, and more -- including finding the perfect retro gown.Playful, sophisticated, and filled with useful resources, this full-color book includes dozens of photographs to enchant and inspire. It features accounts and photos of actual vintage weddings, including a 1940s extravaganza on San Francisco's Treasure Island. Whether you dream of a 1910-style bash complete with potted palms, ropes of pearls, top bats, and dancing the tango or simply small touches that add beauty to the day, such as reviving the custom of wearing orange blossoms or tying lovers' knots in your bouquet ribbons, Your Vintage Wedding will help make it a day to remember.
