Retro: "of or designating the style of an earlier time"
Vintage: "the class of a dated object with reference to era of production or use"

Many brides, grooms and/or their wedding parties include a little or a lot of vintage/retro elements. Think "something old"--- almost always a family piece or at least a nod to tradition by use of an element that is by style or age vintage/retro.
Popular vernacular has "retro" being more modern, perhaps closer to mid-century, brighter, happier, edgier. Vintage then brings to mind softer, paler, even 'older' than "retro".
Whatever you call the style or the elements, this look is not only here to stay (classic as it were) but increasing in popularity right down to menus, and cakes--- far beyond the style of the bride or groom themselves.
Sometimes, a photo can be made to look vintage when the event itself was not especially so.

Definitely food for (more) thought!
