Nothing inspires me like my grandparent's wedding photos from 1954. Black and white film images, raw emotion, an unstructured moment captured.
As such, I swoon over these images of JFK and Jackie's wedding from Newport RI in 1953. These photos are exquisite.

Fabulous resources to bring that vintage vibe to our modern weddings:

Yum! Love these little confections.
And of course you need someone to capture it all....may I recommend the lovely Lisa Frechette, photographer extraordinaire?

Wow, Candice. You're something. Love the Kennedy photos too & the ideas for going vintage.

Woah! This is such an amazing post. My best friend is also getting married and I am planning to finalize one of the rental spaces for parties so that I can throw a nice bridal shower for her. It is going to be an amazing day for sure. Anyway, it was great coming across this post.
