The Vintage Bride...Channeling your Inner Starlet..


Not every woman wants to look  traditional on her wedding day. Some are more sophisticated than sweet--Think Lana Turner or Rita Hayworth, instead of Elizabeth Taylor.  This is especially true when the Bride is past the first blush of youth.  No matter what your age or situation, EVERYONE wants to look their best and most beautiful on their wedding! 
Here are some photos for inspiration on achieving a drop-dead gorgeous look...

When Old Hollywood Glamour is your style...

Simple Details Make All the Difference... But you also have to use caution with this style.  A plunging neckline may be more appropriate for a cocktail party, not a church.  And, a lingerie inspired, bias-cut gown requires special undergarments to achieve that smooth, flawless look. Frankly, bias-cut satin on anyone of a fuller figure is not the best choice.  If you are a larger size, or full busted, try looking for a layered, A-line gown with beading or draping for a more flattering look.
