who we are

Hi there! Welcome to Vintage Bride, where every couple, every wedding, and every love is celebrated. Whether you are a soon-to-be-wed, newlywed, wedding party member, or guest, we are so excited to be on this journey with you.

A bit about us: We’ve been around for 89 years and counting, making us the most seasoned wedding publication in the United States.

However, we didn’t always carry the name Vintage Bride. When we printed our first pages in 1934, the title was So You’re Going to Be Married.

About 25 years later, that turned into The Bride’s Magazine.

Eventually, we said “I do” to the name we all know and love today: Vintage Bride. But enough about us: Your wedding is all about you and your true love. We can’t wait to guide you to the big day and provide endless advice and inspiration along the way. Now let’s get you married!

01. When Dylan Sprouse was the one?

“I can tell you the moment I fell in love. We started talking about ‘Naruto’ and then he did an impression,” the Hungarian model recalled. “He was like, ‘Akamaru!’ and jumped and turned in the air to land on the bed and I filmed it in slow motion. It’s my favorite video.”

02. How does the general public affect your relationship?

“There’s a lot of demand from the general public for full transparency. Which is funny to me because no relationship is fully transparent. We didn’t necessarily feel the need to be fully transparent with the public about that aspect of our engagement.”

03. What are you most excited about?

“I’m excited to show that side of me and introduce my culture, the places I grew up, and the places I went to,” she said of her home country. “I feel like a lot of people will learn even more about me this way. I know there was no way we would have not had a wedding in Hungary because my parents would have killed me.”

03. What is something both of you have in common?

“Our sense of humor is aligned, and we don’t take ourselves very seriously, which I think is good,” Palvin explained.

04. How did when you first started dating?

“And, I was very scared... I had this thought in the back, like, ‘Oh, but wait… Are we going to get paparazzi’ed all the time?

Should I be worried? Do I have to dress nice from now on? Do I have to, like, get ready every morning?’”

05. What is something that made you fall in love with Dylan?

“We had the same interests, and jokes were hitting at the right spot, and he didn’t think I was disgusting or anything,” she joked. “Well, not so fast on that last part,” Sprouse teased back.

06. Why did it take you six months to accept a date with Dylan?

“I knew I wasn’t in a good mind-set at the time, and maybe deep inside I knew that it could be something more.”

things you need to do to start planning your wedding

01. Set your budget After you’ve finished admiring your new engagement ring and have started sharing the news with your inner circle it’s time to buckle down and start planning your wedding.

02. Pick your date The second thing you’ll want to do is set your wedding date.

If you’re looking to cut costs, you may want to think about choosing a date in the offseason as opposed to smack in the middle of the summer.

03. Book your venue When you start planning, you don’t need to have your wedding theme ironed out or your colour palette set in stone to find that perfect venue.

04. Make your guest list Before you get into plotting out your guest list you’ll want to take a few deep breaths and channel your inner yogi, because it can get a bit stressful. Remember, your list doesn’t have to be set in stone just yet, but you should have a pretty good idea of the number of people you’ll be hosting.

05. Hire a planner Now, not everyone hires a wedding planner. However, if you’ve already got a hectic schedule and are prone to getting stressed out, a wedding planner is worth looking into.

Traditional Talk “Something old” represents the brides’s past, while the “Something new” symbolizes the couple’s happy future.

“Something borrowed” comes from someone hapily married in hope good fortune rubs off on her.

“Something blue” denotes fidelity and love.

Lace
