Wedding Wednesday: Find Your "Something Old" at Etsy

{ Via: Etsy }

Even a modern bride will most likely want to keep to tradition with "Something borrowed, something blue, something old, something new." My borrowed and old was the same vintage beaded handbag from a dear friend.  My blue was the silk ribbon in my undies and garter. The new was almost everything else. Etsy is a dream come true for brides to be. The inspiration is endless. And yes, their collection of vintage is vast. This edit features ten very special antiques for brides.

Handmade with vintage brass pieces, Swarvoski crystal, and pearls. It's a very special accessory.

Vintage French Ombre Ribbon

In stunning shades, this ribbon has been imported from France. They offer a variety of vintage ribbon that is perfect for your bouquet or that of the bridesmaids.

Vintage Appeal: Fab Finds From Paris & Beyond
