As many of you know, I’ve been greatly influenced by mid-century weddings. The time period between 1948 and 1964 holds so much charm and fascination for me that it was a natural choice and source of inspiration for our wedding. Many of my earlier posts at Weddingbee explored this topic in great detail!
Below is a compilation of my favourite vintage links, comprised of websites and some unusual sources of invaluable information!

Can I nominate my dress as “inspired”? 
Menorca by La Sposa by Pronovias Love the bateau & the polka dots!
You should put this in the wiki!
Maybe some of the other bee’s can do a wiki of their theme as well!
If I were doing vintage I could see this as being beyond useful!
Thanks for such a comprehensive list of links! 
I have really enjoyed the super 8 films that you have posted. Mr. Taffy and I are going to attempt a diy wedding super 8.
great idea!
we plan on creating a wiki series of “how to’s” and this would be a great “how to have a vintage wedding” wiki!
Thank you, this is an amazing resource for those of us who are vintagely inclined!
Oooh, I love anything vintage and vintage-inspired! Thanks so much for all this info!
I’ve totally bookmarked this. I’m aiming for a 1960s Palm Beach glam feel so this is great.
I second Emma. I can’t wait to see the gorgeousness that will be your wedding.
Knottie 99Vintage Glam had a GORGEOUS vintage wedding. Her planning bio:
http://community.theknot.com/cs/ks/user/page.aspx?username=99vintageglam
Her tissue paper flower pomanders are copied far-and-wide (okay, so they were Martha Stewart’s first, but she made them popular among Knotties), her telegram programs are sensational, and her entire look was *gorgeous*.
She has also launched a blog for vintage wedding tips/resources:

Don’t forget about WhirlingTurban.com! They have lovely custom vintage dresses.
FYI: The broken links are broken because they have spaces in the URL or are missing the .com. Take out the spaces and add the .com’s and they work just fine.

About Me: 1950's housewife sent to the future, reborn as crafting-obsessed, jill of all trades. I enjoy decorating, writing, baking sweet things, singing show tunes/dancing in public, wearing pearls, and knitting sweaters for my furbaby, Harvey, to chew upon. I heart pink, and believe that sparkles are the new black.
