Hannah in 1930s style wedding dress 'Violette' – Vintage Bride of the Week.

Dear Reader,

Today's vintage bride is Hannah, who chose 1930s style Violette wedding dress from my Heavenly Collection for her Spring wedding.

Hannah was delightful to work with, and together we agreed a few variations to this beautiful silk satin wedding dress: satin ‘petal’ sleeves, subtle champagne beading on the shoulders, and a French lace panel in the back. 

It was well worth taking the time to get it right. Lovely Hannah looked gorgeous in the final dress – very glamorous, and softly pretty at the same time. 

Clearly everyone agreed! In Hannah's words,  

"A huge thank you for creating my amazing dress. I felt absolutely fabulous on the day – and I cannot tell you how many compliments I (but mostly the dress) got!"  

Now let's just enjoy seeing beautiful Hannah and her lovely dress in action…! 

Thanks for stopping by, reader. If you have a moment to enjoy more lovely Vintage Brides, why not click here...

Wishing you a wonderful weekend...

Real Vintage Bride Susan in 1930s-style wedding dress, 'Violette'.

Dear Reader,
Inspired by this burst of early Spring sunshine, I've chosen a seaside summer wedding for our Real Vintage Bride of the week...

1930s-inspired silk satin wedding dress Violette from my Heavenly Collection

For her wedding to Matt last year, gorgeous bride Susan chose to wear Violette in silk satin, from my Heavenly Collection of vintage-inspired wedding dresses.

Fabulosity vintage-style, on the Beach!

Ahh, summer days! Here's what Susan had to say about it…

"It was a beautiful day and I felt amazing in the dress, it was definitely the right choice. I got so many compliments on it all day too – a big success!"

Glorious. Roll on summer.

My Vintage Wedding Dress of the Week, Violette - a 1930s beauty.

Dear Reader,

Have I mentioned that the 1930s is one of my very favourite eras for vintage wedding dresses? ...Oh, only about a hundred times, probably! 

Well, this week I've chosen another gorgeous 1930s-inspired gown to be my Dress of the Week: Violette, from my Heavenly Collection.

Handmade in sensuous silk satin, with french lace or satin sleeves, Violette is a glamorous new take on a classic 1930s design - remodelled to flatter a modern figure.

You can see more of Violette here, together with more 1930s-style wedding dresses in my Heavenly Collection.

And if - like me - you love these slinky 30s numbers too, then don't forget to check out my Guide to 1930s Vintage Wedding Dresses, with lots of lovely photos of original dresses to enjoy.

Have a lovely weekend and enjoy the sun!

Love
