How to Use Antiques in Your Wedding: Love Locks for Engagement Sessions (+for sale!)

As part of my antiquing series, I've been sharing some of my favorite ways to incorporate antiques in your wedding. I've shared how to use vintage French enamel pitchers, watering cans, French champagne buckets and French vintage baskets as vases ... and today, I'm going to share another favorite: Vintage Love Locks! 

I've had a small obsession with vintage locks for years. They just tend to be so pretty and so much cooler than modern locks. I think they're a great little prop to use for engagement sessions - whether you're adding the lock to a love lock bridge like the ones in Paris {which is what J&I did in this shoot} or simply holding the lock while your love holds the key ... a beautiful shot for Save the Dates! Anyway, I thought I'd share two pretty locks I currently have with you. If you're interested in either {or would like more info/measurements/photos}, just e-mail me at theclassicbride[at]gmail[dot]com! :)

I love the art deco-y lines of this lock and that it says "MAIL" - fun!
Note: The MAIL lock is in the locked position and does not have its key.

And you may recognize this next heart-shaped lock as it was featured in CB's Parisian Love Shoot - if you scroll down, I'm sharing a few excerpts from the shoot so you can see it in action. ;)

Can you get over this little lock?! The heart shape had me at hello and I just love that charming design around the keyhole - it couldn't be cuter if it tried, amirite?!

Note: The heart lock opens and closes easily but is missing its key.
ps. Even though this lock is missing its key, I think it would be darling paired with a petite-sized skeleton key for a Save the Date with your honey! No one has to know the key doesn't fit. ;)

Here's a few photos of the heart-shaped beauty looking pretty in Paris from our shoot with Juliane Berry:

"Attached" to the Pont des Arts ... but not for long! ;)

I also have one other lock for sale which you can check out right here. I call it my cupid's arrow lock. ;)

Again, if you're interested in anything {or would like more info/measurements/photos}, 

just e-mail me at theclassicbride@gmail.com!
