I’m thrilled to be participating in the Vintage Bazaar’s  next market – which is solely focused on weddings! If you’re in the Chicago area and are planning a wedding, this is an event not to be missed! Gettin’ Hitched is a highly curated, small show (only 15 vendors!), featuring vintage garments and accessories for the bride and bridal party; plus decor, flatware, etc. We’ll have everything you need to make your special day unique & beautiful.

The Archives Vintage booth will have a broad range of styles & eras of garments to choose from: 1930s – 1970s for both the bride and bridesmaids. The wedding gowns are select, but beautiful. There will be quite a collection of vintage party dresses perfect for bridesmaids dresses! (Most have never been listed in the shop). Plus don’t forget a little sexy somethin’ to sport the night of!

If you’re shopping for yourself or your bridal party, I would strongly suggest having everyone’s measurements. The great thing about vintage – it’s one of a kind! Which also means there is only ONE of everything, so sizing is key. If your bridesmaids live out of town or won’t be with you, ask them to send you their measurements in advance.

If you’re looking for some vintage wedding inspiration, I have a few Pinterest boards going: one is all photographs of vintage weddings (nothing like seeing the real thing!), and one for wedding inspiration (a mix of vintage & modern stuff).

  Happy wedding planning!
