• Rustic romance: Embrace the charm of a rustic vintage wedding with soft pastels, dusty blues, and warm neutrals, complementing the natural beauty of Ma Maison’s surroundings.
  
• Roaring ’20s glamour: Opt for a Gatsby-inspired palette featuring blacks, golds, and metallic accents to evoke the opulence of the Jazz Age.
  
• Mid-century modern: Combine muted colors and pops of saturated hues, such as teal, coral, or mustard yellow, for a fun and sophisticated touch of the mid-century era.

2. Vintage-Inspired Wedding Attire

Incorporate timeless elegance into your wedding attire with these vintage-inspired fashion tips:

• Bridal gowns: Seek wedding gowns featuring lace, beading, or intricate embroidery to highlight vintage nostalgia. Look for classic silhouettes, such as the A-line, tea-length, or ball gown, to evoke bygone eras.
  
• Groom’s attire: Men can embrace the vintage vibe with tailored suits, waistcoats, and classic accessories like suspenders, pocket watches, or bow ties.
  
• Bridesmaids and groomsmen: Choose complementary vintage-inspired dresses and suits for your wedding party, reflecting the chosen era’s fashion trends. Consider incorporating uniform accessories like pearls, brooches, or hats.
  
• Hairstyles and makeup: Complete your vintage look with era-inspired hairstyles, such as finger waves, victory rolls, or chignons. Makeup should also reflect the chosen era, focusing on classic looks like red lipstick, winged eyeliner, or soft, rosy cheeks.
