Vintage Bride Carly, in a Flirty 1950s Lace Wedding Dress

Dear Reader, 
Excuse my absence last week… I was away enjoying a glass or two of prosecco in the warm sunshine!  Now I'm happy to be back with pictures of this week's darling real vintage bride, Carly…

For her Bristol wedding, Carly chose this original 1950s wedding dress – so pretty with its nipped-in waist, frothy full skirt and all-over cotton lace. Carly looked amazing in the dress, teamed with sassy red peep-toe shoes and a neat birdcage veil. And it suited her lovely personality to a T.

1950s wedding dresses are made to show off your curves, so a perfect fit is important. As soon as lovely Carly tried on this beautiful dress, it looked gorgeous on her. But as always, a few subtle and clever alterations can still make a big difference – lifting a dress from pretty to fabulous. That's where my secret weapon – super-talented seamstress Grace – comes in. As well as ensuring this dress perfectly fitted Carly's lovely figure, Grace even made the pretty teardrop headpiece and veil to go with it. 

Congratulations Carly, you look 1950s-fabulous! (And since my secret is out, I shall tell everyone more about Grace in another post very soon.)

Love
Helena

Sophie in 1950s Wedding Dress… and Cool Converse Sneakers.

Dear Reader, 
Today's fabulous vintage bride is Sophie, who married Jerome in April…

Sophie chose a 1950s wedding dress, in tulle and embroidered cotton – sweet and girlishly pretty.


And in a brilliantly inspired choice, she made it totally her own by pairing it with Converse sneakers. Well, she does live in them…!

And – see for yourself – they give the whole outfit a super-pretty Back to the Future 1950s vibe. So cool!

With her pretty dress, cool shoes and tightly-packed roses, Sophie made all the right choices. In Sophie's words… 

"I just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful wedding dress and your help selecting it. The dress fitted perfectly on the day and felt fantastic."

With thanks to David at Married to My Camera for these lovely photos. And thanks to you, lovely reader, for dropping in! Have a lovely weekend and hope to see you next week. 
Love
