Retro and vintage weddings are in fashion and many a bride has drawn inspiration from bygone eras for her special day. Vintage weddings are not all about the decorations and dresses; they also require the perfect entertainment to suit the theme.
Depending on the decade, vintage wedding entertainment can take on many guises. Here we take a look at what sort of options are available.
