As of today, our wedding day is 9 weeks and 4 days away! With the date coming up so soon, I’ve been doing a lot of wedding planning in the past couple of weeks – ordering invitations, booking musicians, planning our ceremony, and fantasizing about our honeymoon (a valid part of the planning process). Oh, if only I could take this suitcase with me…

We’re creating an artsy-nerdy theme to reflect us as individuals and a couple, with a subtly vintage romantic aesthetic. I’m in love with these vintage books I’ve collected to decorate the reception: Friends at Thrush Green by Miss Read, The Most Wanted by Jacquelyn Mitchard, The Making of The African Queen by Katharine Hepburn, Dreams are Not Enough by Jacqueline Briskin, and A Study in Scarlett by Arthur Conan Doyle.

Whether you incorporate them into a wedding or a wardrobe, vintage pieces bring their own unique whimsy to a modern aesthetic. Here are a few of my current favorite vintage and vintage-inspired clothes and accessories:
