For The Love of Vintage: Inspired

The styles of wedding dresses are sweeping and varies from bride to bride, but what I have noticed as a common and recurring pattern is the bustier. While I am not in any way opposed to this look as it is quite stunning; once well-fitting of course, I think that the place in which it is worn can make it inappropriate. I cannot recall how many times I have seen beautiful brides ambling down the isles with plunging necklines; muffin top cleavage and daring scooped backs dresses. You can almost hear the gasps and murmurs of the staunch Christian ladies in between the wedding march hymn ( Here Comes the Bride). This is also distracting to the pastor/priest/elder.

Admittedly some brides try to look modest by covering up with a bolero but it sometimes takes away from the aesthetics of the bridal dress. It looks like an afterthought that clashes with the dress.
So how do you wear a wedding dress without exposing too much and at the same time not look frumpy? Well I came across some vintage inspired wedding dresses that are appropriate for the chapel. Check it out and feel free to comment in the box down below.

This fit and flare lace dress looks classy and sexy and at the same time quite moderate.

A glamorous lace dress that covers the shoulders. It looks timeless and stylish and it also replaces the need for a boring bolero.

This is a bustier type dress, but the sheer fabric adds some classiness to it, which does not overly expose the flesh.

Here is another bustier type dress, but this has more coverage from front to back with the line pattern of this sheer fabric.

If you are not overly fond of sheer and lace this dress might be perfect for you. Capped sleeves and embellished neck and waist lines might be all you need to be a vintage bride.

Straight out of a vintage story-tale. The minimal sheer, from front to back, provides a very classy finish. If you don't mind showing off a little skin but love to sweep the floor with your cascading dress, then this wedding dress might be for you.

This dress does have a bustier finish but not only is it covered in lace; the vintage collar masks the cleavage which makes this wedding dress appropriate for the church.

This fishtail dress shows off a bride's curves but does not expose her assets. The lace finish to the top along with the floral embellishment makes this dress simply beautiful.

Hope you enjoyed dolls. In my next blog-post I will share with you some 50s hairstyles that goes along with these dresses. Stay tuned and thanks for viewing!

Alright, so you have been dreaming about this moment since a little girl. You, ambling down the isle in a dazzling wedding dress with an inexplicably striking resemblance of Elizabeth Taylor. The groom at the alter looks more like Anthony Perkins in a black and white tux and a red rose in his pocket. The priest turns to Perkins and says, " You may kiss the bride". As you lean in for the kiss you hear your name being called by a shrieking voice; only to realize that your annoying little brother interrupted your sleep and deprived you of that perfect kiss with the man of your dreams...a piece of that dream lingers in your mind...fast forward to 15 years later and you're planning your vintage inspired wedding!!!# she screams as she shows off her wedding ring#. But what would you need to pull off a vintage wedding?! Well here are some things that you might want to add to your list:
