The Garment District
200 Broadway
Cambridge, MA 02139
(617) 876-5230
www.garment-district.com
The Garment District is one of the most popular consignment shops in the city. It has a lot of clothing, which can make it difficult to sort through the modern clothing, vintage casual and other items to get to the vintage wedding-worthy goods. A great option for those looking for vintage items in bulk, perhaps for a vintage-style photo booth or wedding party, is its By The Pound feature. Every morning when the store opens and every Saturday and Sunday, bales of clothing are put out and sold for $1.50 per pound. However, there is no telling what will be in these bales.
SoWa Vintage Market
460C Harrison Ave.
Boston, MA 02118
(800) 403-8305
www.sowavintagemarket.com
SoWa Vintage Market is more than just a shop; it is a mall for the vintage shopper. This is a must for vintage wedding shoppers in the area. The shops often change from week to week, but typical finds are vintage clothing, vintage shoes, amazing vintage hats and vintage decor. The market is only open on Sundays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., so shopping time is limited. However, there is no more extensive vintage shopping opportunity anywhere in Boston.
Artifaktori
22 College Ave.
Somerville, MA 02144
(617) 776-3708

The best thing about Artifaktori is the company and staff's knowledge of vintage style. It is easy to get ideas for vintage outfits from its social media pages. Of course, it is a grab bag when it comes to finding vintage wedding wear at Artifaktori, but finding a casual vintage dress is no problem. It also has accessories, swimwear and more. This makes it possible to get outfitted for the honeymoon while shopping for the wedding.
Vintage Jewelry & Modern Boutique
1382 Beacon St.
Brookline, MA 02446
(617) 739-3265

Vintage Jewelry & Modern Boutique has jewelry that vintage wedding shoppers can use as bridal jewelry or even gifts for the wedding party. It also carries belt buckles that make great gifts for groomsmen. Shoppers will find cameos, bracelets, lockets, cufflinks and much more in a wide range of prices. As with most vintage shops, inventory changes frequently, so be sure to keep looking for pieces from the appropriate period. It is even possible to find vintage styles among the shop's modern pieces.
