Lingerie, florals, hat boxes, tea time, and other feminine touches as pictured in the cakes below are wonderful inspirations for the perfect bridal shower cake.

The Ines Di Santo Spring/Summer 2012 bridal collection features an array of stunning silhouettes that are each designed instinctively with the female form in mind. We of course see the Ines Di Santo signature hand-ruching and tailoring techniques that leave the effect of an elegantly shaped bodice with loads of romantic detailing.

Love this rustic ring box handcrafted by River Road Rustics. The customized monogram and wedding date are sweet little touches that everyone will notice as this petite ring box makes it way down the aisle. To ensure that the rings stay in the box until it reaches the alter, a burlap pillow is included to tie the rings to.

This charming box also doubles as a wedding keepsake that you can store your rings and jewelry in after the big day.

Vintage cufflinks are accessories that will add a sense of charm to any vintage themed wedding. They also make for thoughtful groomsmen gifts - get creative and choose a different set for each groomsmen that speaks to their style and personality. That makes me think of a photo op: have all of the groomsmen line up and don their vintage cufflinks for the camera on the wedding day!

I found these vintage cufflinks at CuffandCollar, a gentlemen's vintage jewelry store that curates rare and vintage items from all over the world. Product categories include cufflinks, tie accessories, money clips, and rings.

Vintage weddings have become a very popular trend and I foresee this movement sticking around for awhile. We are seeing loads of vintage inspired bridal attire, designs, and décor. But, some Brides are taking a more Classic approach by incorporating authentic vintage items into their weddings such as this lovely 1940’s wedding gown offered by Blue Rose Vintage. 

Blue Rose Vintage is also offering the matching ring bearer pillow that was used at the same wedding as the wedding gown. The use of genuine vintage pieces like these will definitely add more uniqueness to your wedding while also keeping the guests marveling at the mystifying past of each vintage item!
