Calling all Vintage Theme Wedding Brides

[*Heather*]

Those links are awesome, thanks so much! I couldn't really see the magazine pics very well...I wish we could get that here! Those pics are perfect inspiration for me!

I am going with a slightly vintage theme. We are eloping, so no wedding party, etc. My dress is an exact copy of a 1930's Harlow gown that I own. The original fits me and is beautiful, but not in good enough shape for the wedding. I have a friend that is applying for a masters degree in London for fashion history. ( she wants to work for a museum). She was a designer for Nordstrom for years and is making a pattern from the original. I own a vintage jewelry and accessories store, so I have all the jewels, etc covered.

 

I’ve written a few blog posts about historical bridal fashion:

Here is a pic of the original vintage gown I’m having redone. My gown should be ready shortly and I hope to have pics of it in a few weeks.
