From "Mad Men" to Instagram, vintage looks are everywhere right now. And is it any surprise? Whether it's the short waves and feathered headbands from the 1920s or the pin-up girl lips and heels from World War II, these looks are pure glamour -- something that's hard not to crave when you spend all your time in jeans and boots!

Many modern couples are choosing to step into a different era for their engagement photos. If this is a look you're thinking of trying, you have lots of options. You can keep it mostly modern, but slip in a few vintage items (like a retro bathing suit or red peep-toe heels). Or go all out with hair, makeup, and clothes straight out of the past. And don't forget the details! Pose with a vintage suitcase, a dry martini, or a classic car to help set the scene.
