four (vintage wedding) posts to rediscover
Oddly enough, one of the most popular posts on this blog is this one featuring a gorgeous vintage wedding dress. Alas the dress in question sold a while ago so I wanted to share a few other vintage wedding posts I have featured in this blog. Try these on for size: This one has a […]
1930′s wedding gown
July 30, 2012
Isn’t this cascading gown just divine? I love how the elaborate swathes of fabric and stately lengths are balanced by the simplicity of the cut and overall look: soft organdie as opposed to showy silk, a demure peter pan collar rather than a plunging neckline, petite cap sleeves in place of spaghetti straps. From Vintage […]
style: Hawaiian honeymoon
July 23, 2012
Hello beauties! My sister is marrying her dashing young man in January and their honeymoon is in Hawaii. She asked me to put together a little style guide for her trip, one that was sensitive to her own sense of style. My sister is gorgeous to look at and has a beautiful figure – she […]
Those Red Valentino sandals…
June 29, 2012
I spotted the Red Valentino bow sandals I recently featured in my simple vintage wedding mood board on sale at Nordstrom: reduced from $310.67 to just over $154 AU. Happy shopping! PS a pink pair (in a size 37.5 only alas) is also on sale at Shopbop.
simple vintage wedding
May 23, 2012
I love this retro dress (only US$45!) from Ryan Nicole Vintage. It would be perfect for a minimalist, simply beautiful wedding in a tiny country church or a beautiful spring garden. The bridesmaids might be in fluid floral dresses and flat golden sandals; a simple bouquet of white or yellow daisies or scented jasmine. All […]
Mantilla wedding veil
September 13, 2011
I adore the type and styling of this wedding veil. Methinks wedding veils are becoming fashionable again among the truly stylish brides-to-be. When I was preparing to get married I at first shunned the notion of a veil. I thought the idea of wearing a veil and concealing my face from my groom until the […]
Elegant vintage wedding gown
August 8, 2011
What a gorgeous wedding gown from Etsy. I love the fluidity of the cut and fabric, the simple thin straps and sweetheart neckline and the elegant applique lace. It comes with a bolero but I much prefer this dress as is. Imagine it with loose glossy waves tumbling down from a side part; or a […]
Wedding Inspiration: easy lace and a plunging back
June 16, 2011
I think it is rare to combine real sexiness with real elegance – especially in regards to a wedding ensemble. But there is something about a low, deep back on a gown that is at once sexy and elegant. The particular word alluring comes to mind. It is sensual but not provocative: perfect for a […]
Wedding Inspiration: from English ivory to ethereal emerald
June 6, 2011
This über elegant English country wedding is a picture of genteel stylishness. What I particularly like is the bride Phillippa’s reception transformation – her reception/honeymoon dress is easily as formal and exquisite as her wedding gown. I love the cool emerald and topaz sheens with the soft stonework of the manor and pale English sunlight. […]
Vintage wedding dress
May 13, 2011
This 196o’s wedding gown from Dear Golden Vintage is just gorgeous: the exaggerated yet neat bow, the lace empire bodice and the wide train make it charming and slightly innocent. I can just imagine it with a small, easy posy of garden flowers, flushed pink cheeks and wide, smokey eyes. The bride’s hair would be […]
