Vintage bride--1950's princess bride

 No where is the overflowing bounty of the 1950's more present than in it's bridal couture. The abundance of the decade is shown to it's most beautiful and joyful in the gracious fullness that is shown in these wedding gowns. The pure joy of looking like a queen, or Princess Grace for that matter, with lace and pearls and yards and yards of crinoline.


The curve and generousness of the female form shown in all it's splendour (now whether you could breathe in that girdle/corset is another matter). It is an unabashedly feminine look. It is an iconic, bridal look.  It in one i hope more girls will look to for inspiration, after nearly a decade of a similar, strapless column.

Saving money but still looking fabulous!

I have  a few more dresses to list, but am waiting for models to pose before listing.  Stay tuned! I just wanted to emphasize that all of these dresses are new or like new. Since your wedding dress is something you will probably never wear again--and something notoriously hard to sell for anywhere near what you have paid--why not save some money and still get the designer/couture look you want?   The bridal gown is often one of the most expensive single items bought for a wedding--usually more than the cake, DJ, or even all the maids dresses put together.  Choosing something for a bargain price can really save you a lot of $$$--but that does not mean you have to LOOK like a bargain.   Look glamorous, beautiful, royal, chic....and save money doing it!

I also have some headpieces coming soon for use in photos. If you see one you like, it can be included with a purchase.
