“Something Old, Something New” Vintage Brides

Remember the old days when the Sunday newspapers published big pictures and detailed descriptions of the bride’s dress in the marriage announcement? I miss those descriptions, I didn’t really care who got married that week, I just loved to read about the exquisite shimmering satin and delicate lace.
I was looking through my old magazines and found a “THE BRIDES MAGAZINE” from autumn 1945. NOW, that was a time for brides – all those G.I.’s coming home from the war overseas. My gosh the bridal industry was booming! (not to mention the boom that followed – the baby boom LOL)

Today savvy brides are searching for that perfect vintage wedding gown for their special day. We toast you, brides!

Below are some of the dresses featured in this magazine for the autumn brides of 1945. You vintage fashionistas will no doubt recognize many of the stores and designers here. Enjoy!

The Little Black Dress! Iconic to Sublime!

What better way to go “Green” than with vintage & besides clothing from past decades is usually made so much better! here is such an array of delectable items to select from, but I’m going to pick a theme and I’m starting out with the “Little Black Dress”. Chanel (CoCo) term this phrase decades ago, and it’s still a valid today as it was then. Remember Audrey Hepburn in “Breakfast at Tiffany”s”?? The iconic black dress worn by Audrey Hepburn in the 1961 film “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” sold for $1.2 million in 2006 for around seven times its pre-sale estimate. It was floor-length Givenchy cocktail gown (one of three) designed for Ms. Hepburn for her Holly Golightly character. Mine are not nearly as expensive or iconic, but offer you my beloved customer wonderful personalized choices for your LBD! Click on the picture to go to the listing!

Hurry! Feb. 14th is fast approaching!
