Vintage clothing is the perfect companion for a summer wedding by the sea. For brides, a beautiful, flawless money saving trick is to buy a vintage dress and pre-loved items. The elegance of the attire and the laid back feeling of a beach will give a romantic and timeless feel. For grooms, a vintage tuxedo or suit can easily be matched with casual shoes which may already be hiding in the closet. Instead of traditional invitations, having edible mediums of communication such as cookies or chocolates in an invitation box is a great way to express yourselves as a couple. Another way to make your wedding greener is to wrap bouquets of local and seasonal flowers in vintage fabric or recycled materials for a stunning, eco-friendly touch.
