Our sponsor Brilliant Earth and its vintage ring selection — let me count the ways I love you… one-of-a-kind rings, eco-friendly choices, and a lot of these beauties cost less than their modern counterparts.

If you're looking into vintage engagement you're gonna love me, because I'm not only gonna break down the antique ring style guide, but I'm also going to show you some fabulous choices that are available right now (but for how long!?).

Let's start with the oldest styles and work our way up to modern bling…

Edwardian style (1901 to about 1920)

A great example of Edwardian style is the Plumosa ring. With its lacy and intricate filigree and hand-engraved details, this baby is all about the decadence of the Edwardian period. It's also sparkly as hell with a price to match the bling!

Lynn Dell, fashion maven and owner of Off Broadway Boutique, celebrated her 60 year anniversary to her husband Sandy with Chef Roble and Co on Bravo. Check out some shots of their still-enduring fashion sense PLUS photos from their wedding in 1952.

This couple collected vintage plates and tablecloths to adorn a sweet little village hall, did a whole lot of DIY, and created a really cool earthy feel. Add in their Buddhist ceremony, vegan reception, and "Who's Who" board (with baby photos of everyone!), and it's a personalized party with panache.

Just looking at all of the handmade flower arrangements at this wedding makes me have sympathy DIY finger pain. But man, does it look awesome. With a vintage dress made for twirling, honey favors, and beaded bouquets, this is one whimsical wedding.

If you've been drooling over Royal Steamline wedding invites (and less face it, most of us DO) then get your salivary glands in check because they just released new invitation designs AND they're offering an exclusive offers to Offbeat Brides AAAAAND they're hosting a give-away! (I know, right!?)

A wedding in an authentic nightclub dating back to Prohibition is the PERFECT place for a speakeasy-themed party featuring peacock details, a little burlesque, live music, and a to-die-for corseted gown. Check out this vintage-style wedding, but beware the ill-fated salt ceremony!

If you get all slobbery over vintage rings like I do, then you're going to be SUPER stoked about our sponsor Weston Jewelry. They're a fine estate jewelry company that specializes in vintage and antique engagement rings. Take a peak at what makes them the perfect place to go for your one-of-a-kind wedding jewelry.

With a budget the size of one month's rent, this thrifty couple capitalized on the talents of friends and family to create an intimate and musical wedding with vegan flair. Their outdoor ceremony may have been rained out, but the indoor alternative amplified the music and they preferred it in the end. Crisis averted.
