A Recent Trend in Weddings With Antique and Vintage Elements


Employing a research-based approach that generates top dollar, Margie Beegle Sales, Inc., undertakes appraisals of estates in the Houston area. Online at margiebeeglesales.com, Margie Beegle Sales professionals clean, organize, and arrange the items within an estate, presenting them for maximum visual impact.

Long sought after by discerning collectors and homeowners looking to create just the right interior aesthetic, quality antiques have recently made the jump to contemporary weddings. “Throwback nuptials” draw links with past generations and go beyond wearing a vintage dress or piece of jewelry handed down from a beloved grandmother.

These include the use of vintage wedding items from eras such as the Victorian and the Rococo, whether they are flower bouquet holders or centerpieces. The silverware and glasses used may also be of older provenance.

Some couples take inspiration from elements from their own childhood, and those of past generations, in selecting keepsake gifts for guests. Items beside the wine glass at the table may include small vintage toys.

In many cases, the antique items used in the wedding may have considerable sentimental and financial value as cherished family heirlooms. Securing such keepsakes after the ceremony is an important part of creating a successful wedding that embraces tradition.

Spay-Neuter Assistance Programs Offers Microchipping Services


Margie Beegle Sales of Houston, Texas, is a leading estate sales and appraisal company with more than 20 years of estate management history and a focus on professional reliability. Beyond its normal range of services, Margie Beegle Sales regularly contributes resources and supplies to the Spay-Neuter Assistance Program (SNAP). SNAP offers a number of wellness services to animals and owners that includes microchipping and microchip scanning.

Microchips serve as an alternative or addition to pet identification (ID) tags by providing a separate means to identify a lost pet and reunite them with their owners. These tiny computer chips, which reside inside a sterilized capsule, are injected by a veterinarian beneath the animal’s skin. Chips within the capsule transmit an ID number when scanned that veterinarians and shelter staff can use to identify the animal’s owner.

Most veterinary clinics and animal shelters can scan for microchips, and some will even complete the procedure for animals that do not already possess a chip. Microchipping procedures offered by SNAP use the companion animal ID microchip manufactured by Datamars, the company that pioneered the standard for ISO companion animal chips.
