About Vintage Wedding Etiquette 


These articles are based on etiquette books that I have been collecting for the past 15 years. I love advice to women in different decades to see what has changed and what has stayed the same.

In creating this site, I thought the articles would be useful for brides who want to create an authentic, retro wedding. But, I also thought that it would be interesting to social historians who are interested in the lives of women in the past.

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to email me at vintageweddings@gmail.com.

I hope you enjoy!
