Felicity in BUTTERFLY 1930s-style lace wedding dress... Our Bride of the Week.

Dear Reader,
Big congratulations today to lovely Felicity, my newest Real Vintage Bride... 

For her recent wedding to Luke, Felicity chose Butterfly, a 1930s-style wedding dress from my Heavenly Collection...

Butterfly is based on an original 1930s lace wedding dress. With its mermaid skirt, and waterfall frill at the neck it is wonderfully dreamy. Felicity looks fabulous in the dress - so glamorous and romantic. And in her words...

"The dress was AMAZING!!! Thank you so much, the day went so well and I felt wonderful in the dress." 

It's my pleasure, Felicity! You are definitely our Heavenly Vintage Bride of the Week. Thanks for sharing the pictures of your perfect day. 

And thank you, dear Reader, for stopping by on this wet Autumn day. I hope the sun is shining wherever you are! See you again very soon...

Love
Helena

Vintage Bride of the Week: Stunning Selina in 1940s 'Bette' Wedding Dress

Dear Reader,
Bride of the week is Selina, stunning in 1940s wedding dress Bette from my Heavenly Collection.

Selina has a wonderful figure. And the Bette dress with its lower back suited her so beautifully...

Groom Joe agreed completely. In Selina's words...

"The day was amazing and everything was perfect from start to finish. Joe loved the dress as did the guests and I felt gorgeous in it. I had a lot of comments and questions about who made it. 

 Thank you so much - I hope you're busy making lots of brides as happy as you made me!"

It was a joy to work with Selina - a privilege to dress such a delightful girl. Lucky Joe!

And of course, lucky me! I do love my job and I am very proud of all my Brides. Huge congratulations to Selina and Joe!

Love

Helena

Vintage Bride of the Week: Stephanie in 1960s lace and chiffon wedding dress.

Dear Reader,
There's an Autumn nip in the air today. So I'm going to share these gorgeous pics from real vintage bride Stephanie...

Stephanie married last Winter in the idyllic setting of Bloomington, Indiana. 

Stephanie is such a delightful girl and I was really pleased to meet her charming parents, Steve and Jane, who flew over from Canada to help choose the dress.

With their help, Stephanie chose this stunning original early 1960s wedding dress in lace and chiffon - so glamorous! And I love her swishy 1960s hairstyle that works so well with it. (For more great 1960s hair ideas, click here.)

Stephanie certainly made the right choice...

"The dress was amazing, absolutely beautiful and all I could have hoped for! I received so many compliments, and people said it was one of the most stunning gowns they'd ever seen. Thank you for all of your hard work, and for helping to make my big day so special.

Marriage has been a treat, and we think fondly back to December 14th often. It went by so fast, but it was such a memorable day nonetheless. Thank you again, Helena!"

 

Thanks so much for sharing the pics, Stephanie and Brian. We love your snow-kissed 1960s style!

And thanks to USA photographer Eric Rudd for the pictures - you can see lots more of this gorgeous wedding on his blog here.

Love

1950s & 1960s wedding dresses - Vintage gets a Pop vibe!

Dear Reader,
After so much slinky glamour, I thought it'd be fun to try a very different look for your vintage wedding dress. Today, let's go POP!

1950s and 1960s wedding dresses can be so flirty and pretty, with a great pop feel. You can play this down, and keep it chic and simple. Or dress them up and really go to town...

And don't just think pastel. 1950s and 1960s wedding dresses are bold enough to carry off a more individual colour palette...

And - like this fun photoshoot for You and Your Wedding - you can be really playful with the accessories...

The dresses featured here are a mix of original 1950s and 1960s vintage, and Stella from my Heavenly Collection of vintage-inspired wedding dresses. If you'd like to see similar dresses, do contact me.

Cute! See you later this week when I'll be sharing pics from a lovely Real Vintage Bride.
Love
Helena
