1930′s wedding gown
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 […]
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 […]
Wedding Inspiration series
May 2, 2011
Hello my beauties! I have to introduce this post by admitting right from the start that yes I watched the royal wedding of Ms. Middleton to Prince William, and yes I shed a tear while watching it, and yes I may have royal wedding fever. However I feel the need to emphasise that I have […]
Wedding style: elbow length sleeves and intricate cotton lace
July 9, 2010
On a gown – wedding or otherwise – I love a long svelte sleeve and a loose elbow length sleeve. This gorgeous wedding shows off the elbow style to perfection – the length and volume of the bride’s (Stephanie) sleeves is beautifully mimicked by the soft semi-narrow volume of the dress as it flows to […]
Another wedding: divine lace and roses the colour of mangoes and peaches
June 7, 2010
So here is another amazing wedding ensemble, this time sourced from Project Wedding, a site I found via one of my favourite ever blogs, the endearing A Cup of Jo. I love so many things about the style of this wedding (the stunning couple is Lhasa and Adam): the outdoor farm setting, the sparkling light, […]
Feeling the love
May 23, 2010
I suspect it may have something to do with the onset of winter – the overnight rain, the grey clouds hanging low in the sky, the fresh warm smell of sheets and towels in the dryer, the copious cups of tea and Milo, the fact that my hubby is away for work this weekend … […]
