Consider unconventional elements such as old pieces of lace, handmade fabric or felt flowers to create accessories. Don’t be afraid to DIY! Nod to a certain era, like the flapper era, with feather hairpieces. Add wispy, elegant plumes to your bridal hairpiece. Accessorise with vintage pieces like buttons, brooches, or lace available at second-hand stores. Consider wearing a family heirloom or find vintage jewellery at a second-hand store. For a more modern twist on vintage accessories, shop online stores like etsy.com.
