			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.modernwedding.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/ghdscarlet2.jpg" alt="ghd scarlet collection katy perry" title="ghd scarlet collection katy perry" width="256" height="306" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1908" />Vintage and retro themes have been a recurring favorite in modern weddings today. Drawing inspiration from decades past creates a unique and personable wedding, with all of the glam vintage details can offer, with plenty of room for modern touches. One decade, in particular, as been particularly popular, and that is the roaring 20s. Silk, velvet, art deco, lace and pearls make up this decadent, yet refined period in fashion that translates beautifully into a stylish yet fun wedding theme. If you’re considering using this era as your source for inspiration for your bridal look, here are just a few things you can use to bring the 1920s into the 2010s.</p>
<p><strong>Your dress:</strong> easily one of the most important details of your wedding, you will have plenty of options for a 1920s inspired wedding gown. The most popular silhouettes are the dropped waist, dramatic and plunging backs, and plenty of beading and lace. Embellishments such as sashes or brooches also complete the look for this era. With the increased popularity of this style in the fashion industry, practically every designer has released a line featuring iconic 1920s silhouettes, which means you’ll have plenty of options.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.modernwedding.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/ghdscarlet.jpg" alt="ghd scarlet collection" title="ghd scarlet collection" width="256" height="306" class="alignright size-full wp-image-1907" /><strong>Your hair:</strong> without the right hairstyle, your dress is simply a dress. Compliment your 20s gown with a “flapper”-esque hairstyle, and really bring the entire look together. Pin curls are great for any length of hair, not just a bob, and can be translated into an up-do just as easily. If you want to get the look, you’ll need the right tools: <a href="http://www.ghdhair.com/us/">flat irons</a> can help you achieve the look you want on your big day, and what better gift to yourself, or to a bride, than the best in the market. ghd flat irons are by far the best hair styling tool, and the special edition ghd Scarlet Collection is perfect for the occasion. Drawing it’s inspiration from the same era, the flat iron comes with a stylish case, or clutch, in red satin with art deco details. Complete the look with a fascinator or headband to really make a statement.</p>
<p><strong>Your accessories:</strong> the 20s was all about accessories; from necklaces to hair pieces, there are plenty of details you can incorporate into your wedding day look. When considering accessories, think layered pearls, rhinestone combs or brooches, feathered fascinators and more. Just remember, less is always more, and a simple look can compliment any bride. Choose a focal piece, whether it’s your hair piece or several strands of glistening pearls, to avoid the risk of it looking more like a costume. Keep it classy and use the era as inspiration for your look, including your own personal touches to express your own style.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Although many couples look to escape the city for their big day,  the city can still be an amazing backdrop, especially for stunning photography.

I really love all of the flapper era inspired details that have their own modern twist, including the bride&#8217;s sequined sneakers, pinstriped suits, peacock feathers, pearls and bridesmaid&#8217;s outfits!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With Summer almost here, we’re already seeing a promising beginning to the peak Wedding season. Any bride and groom to walk down the aisle this season are really in luck; with amazing weather on the way, an abundance of stylish trends, and plenty of stunning outdoor venue options to choose from. Two words to describe this year’s summer weddings would be casual and cool, which applies equally to your wedding party’s wardrobe as well as the venue. With long, hot summer days ahead, make sure you, and your bridesmaids will be cool and comfortable in their dresses, and your guests will be comfortable regardless of the weather. When it comes to gown trends this year, dresses with floor-length hems are often exclusively formal, and hardly practical for Summer time weddings, nor do they suit the fun and casual atmosphere prided by many weddings this season. The most popular venues follow the same tone, with backyard and laid-back garden weddings all the rage this year. If you’ve set the date for your dream wedding this summer, here are just a few guidelines to help make it a memorable one.</p>

<p>Choosing appropriate attire for summer is important, whether you’re at the beach, or at a wedding. Even if you have a ball gown in mind, you’ll need to compromise your vision to suit this time of year. Extreme weather could mean an uncomfortable wedding day for your and your wedding party, but shortening the hemline alone can make a huge difference. <a href="http://www.davidsbridal.com/Browse_Bridal-Party-Bridesmaids-All-Bridesmaid-Dresses">Short bridesmaid dresses</a> embody what the season is all about; Summer gives us the impression of picnics, vacations, and casual get togethers with family and friends. Many brides and grooms incorporate this atmosphere when it comes to their wedding day, which means your attire should reflect the same. Fun and flirty cocktail dresses, such as these from David’s Bridal, are a great compliment to any Summer wedding.</p>

<p>Many couples choose an outdoor venue during the warmer months of the year; this makes for a casual and relaxed atmosphere your guests are sure to appreciate, not to mention a picturesque backdrop for romantic photo ops. Even if your ceremony will be indoors, the reception can be outdoors, and under the cover of a tent, it can go on long after the sun has set. Whether it’s in a park, in the countryside, in the forest, on a vineyard, in a garden or even in your backyard, outdoor venues are ideal for Summer weddings.</p>
<p>Combine all these details and you&#8217;re sure to have an unforgettable Summer wedding everyone will be talking about for years to come!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The hottest trend for weddings right now? Vintage inspired style, decor, and even traditions. You’ll see plenty of creative and unique weddings, all drawing inspiration from decades past, with a hint of a modern twist. Iconic decades that can act as a wedding planning muse include: the roaring twenties, the glamorous forties, and the glitzy fifties. Every detail, from the dress to the jewelry, to the reception festivities,  can all incorporate the style of any given era. No detail, however, makes more of a statement than vintage inspired bridal jewelry. Though your dress will easily be your highest priority, your jewelry can accentuate and complete your wedding day look. </p>

<p>Nothing says 20s like a long string of pearls, or sequined headband. Nothing says 50s like diamond jewelry and chandelier earrings. No matter where your find your inspiration, <a href="http://www.shopnbc.com/SearchM/Default.aspx?page=LIST&#038;category=Jewelry%7Ct305&#038;prop=Gold%7C294&#038;catprop=294&#038;cm_re=DN-_-Jewelry-_-Gold">gold jewelry</a> can flatter your vintage style. White gold, pearl drop earrings, with lots of glitz, and a matching, simplistic pearl necklace can compliment any gown. Or, you can go for  more heirloom inspired pieces with rose or yellow gold, complimented by pink morganite diamonds, like these found on ShopNBC.</p>
<p>Vintage inspired jewelry is easy to find; you don’t have to spend a fortune buying estate jewelry, or spend your time searching through antique stores. Many jewelry designers today are creating pieces that are brand new, drawing from the style of previous decades, and modernizing them to offer a unique and original look. Browsing your options, you’ll find plenty of options no matter what your budget may be. Vintage looks are growing more popular in the fashion industry today, which means it’s increasingly easier to find both fashion jewelry, and bridal jewelry with a vintage feel. Although pearls and diamonds are the most iconic focal points in vintage jewelry, you can find more budget friendly options that feature morganite or lab created diamonds and rhinestones. And with semi precious stones becoming more popular, you’ll find more options that can suit your wallet. This means more practical options for every bride, especially if you’re purchasing a piece to be worn solely on your wedding day. </p>
