Vintage Inspirations for a Modern Day Bride

Categories: Real Weddings, Vintage Inspired Weddings

Gorgeous wedding from Heather Elizabeth Photography..introducing Sean and Susannah!

heather-elizabeth-photography-sean-and-susannah

I am SO honored to post these beautiful wedding photos from seriously talented Bay Area photographer Heather  Elizabeth! What caught my eye immediately with this wedding was the amazing huge smile on the bride’s face the entire time! You can tell they are a really fun & very happy couple and I love that their personalities really shine through in the photography! Especially beautiful Susannah and her smile!!  I absolutely adore Susannah’s gorgeous lace frock and her flirty birdcage veil. The perfect vintage bride!

Here is what heather says about this spectacular wedding she photographed!

“Sometimes my job is just kind of unreal.  When Sean and Susannah booked me for their Washington DC wedding months ago, I actually had a hard time believing I would actually be doing it. Seemed way too good to be true… “what.. I am getting paid to go to the US Capitol? PINCH ME!!!”. No one pinched me, so I was still left in this daze of excitement.  It wasn’t until I was leaving for my early morning flight in April that it finally hit me.

The second I showed up to Susannah and Sean’s place to photograph Susannah getting ready… it seemed to all just kind of fall into place.   I saw how excited her and her family was and from that moment on the stress of the trip didn’t really matter anymore and this was going to be an amazing day. All 13 hours of photographing this wedding was filled with fun, excitement, and just enough chaos.  One of the finest moments of the day would have to be the moment I saw Susannah with that “pinch me is this real?” look on her face while she looked at her ring in the limo ride to the Capitol for group photos.

“Oh my God, I’m married!”

As my first wedding of 2012, if this is any indication of what my year will be… it’s going to be pretty mind blowing.”

Enjoy the photos and thanks again Heather Elizabeth Photography!!! Check out her site if you are looking for a great photograopher!

Have fun and hope these inspire you as much as they did me!

Something borrowed, Something blue…

something-blue-vintage-blue-wedding-car

Have you chosen your ‘Something Blue’ yet?! I have been thinking lots about this subject and sadly it’s been consuming my mind all weekend, lol! All I can think about is adorable blue shoes peeking out from under wedding dresses or pretty tiffany blue toenails,…obsessed! I really wish I wore blue wedding heels! So many fun ideas I found, see them below!

Let’s first talk tradition

What does this whole “Something Blue” traditional mean anyways? Let us discuss! Each item in this poem represents a good-luck token for the bride. If she carries all of them on her wedding day, her marriage will be happy. “Something old” symbolizes continuity with the bride’s family and the past. “Something new” means optimism and hope for the bride’s new life ahead. “Something borrowed” is usually an item from a happily married friend or family member, whose good fortune in marriage is supposed to carry over to the new bride. The borrowed item also reminds the bride that she can depend on her friends and family. As for the colorful item, blue has been connected to weddings for centuries. In ancient Rome, brides wore blue to symbolize love, modesty, and fidelity. Christianity has long dressed the Virgin Mary in blue, so purity was associated with the color. Before the late 19th century, blue was a popular color for wedding gowns, as evidenced in proverbs like, “Marry in blue, lover be true.”

Now …let’s get onto this lovely sea of azure..

Celebrity Inspiration – Kate Moss’s vintage inspired wedding dress and veil on a budget!


Ruche Wedding Collection

kate_moss_wedding-vintage-inspired-wedding-kate-moss-wedding-dress-kate-moss-bridal-dress-replica-4

Hands down – Looking back..Kate Moss’s dress and veil are one of my favorite vintage inspired weddings by far!  I just adored  everything about this wedding; it’s classically beautiful and so ethereal, I had to dedicate a post to it! At the end…I have added a few examples of similar dresses and veil you can find for a much cheaper price and still have her vintage chic style! Kate is the original boho chic style icon and I am in love with her unique style all her own.

On July 1st, 2011 Kate Moss married Jamie Hince, a guitarist for the Kills, at St Peters Church in Southrop, England in the Cotswolds countryside area. It was a gorgeous midsummer 1920’s Great Gatsby feel of a wedding and gorgeous! Kate’s dress was a beaded, fitted, sheath mermaid gown with a train and designed by close friend John Galliano. Every details was very Kate and loved that it was so fresh, delicate and so so pretty…

Let’s look at some pics, shall we? I am just swooning, aren’t you??!

Check out my budget friendly finds below to re-create Kate’s amazing look (and her amazing juliet cap veil) below Kate’s pics!

Lady Mary finally weds Matthew on Downton Abbey!

downton-ladymary-wedding

Downton’s back! And it’s most definitely a new fashion era and we are so excited about Lady Mary and Matthew’s wedding that we can’t contain ourselves!! Enough gorgeous Vintage eye candy to keep us going for a long time!

Grazia UK has confirmed some details below about the dress for us! Such a beautiful gown! What did you think? I would love to hear your opinion. I thought it was so perfectly suited for the era and just lovely!

Costume designer Caroline McCall says below….

“Lady Mary’s wedding dress was the most expensive costume we’ve made. It cost around £4,000 to make,’ she tells us. “It’s a silver lace tabard fabric that goes into a train at the back, and underneath is a silk dress with silk sleeves. The detail at the back wasn’t really seen on camera but the lace goes into a V at the back with tiny buttons and it’s completely edged with tiny rice pearls and Swarovski crystal. A vintage veil was anchored on Mary’s head by a 45-carat floral diamond tiara, valued at $200,000, from U.K. jeweler Bentley & Skinner. I wanted her wedding dress to have a bit of softness,” said McCall. “I wanted her to look really romantic, really elegant.”

Uh, can we say wow?!!

Happy Downton Viewing!

xoxo,

Kirstin @ Froufrou Le Bleu
