1940s Swingin’ Wedding Inspiration

Pin curls, bright red lips, swing skirts, and platform pumps… Y’all I’m talking about those swingin’ 1940s! I am in love with fashion and I am in love with the 1940s. And I think this is SUCH a perfect theme for a wedding. I can’t think of anything more romantic than a bride in a vintage, flowy, simple gown standing next to a groom in a double-breasted jacket, vest, and fedora. Add little touches of army green, coke bottles, or peanuts, and you are sure to have your 1940s wedding swingin’ in style!

Walk Down the Aisle in Style with Patterned Pumps

Chevron, paisley, florals, stripes, and dots… Patterns are everywhere in 2013! Gone are the days of boring plain white heels for your wedding. After all, don’t they just sit in your closet or in a box in the attic? Why not opt for a wedding shoe that you will wear again? Instead of the generic white shoe, bring some pizazz and funk to your wedding look! Patterns are so fun and so easy to add to your wedding. You’ve seen patterns in bow-ties, table runners, bridesmaid dresses and china, but now it’s time to add a little excitement to the bride’s attire! Patterns are sure to bring personality and style to your big day!

Vera Wang’s Red Hot Runway

Here comes the bride all dressed in…reds?! scarlets?! What a shocking moment that could be on your big day! Bridal Fashion Week 2012 has been nothing short of amazing. We have seen so many different styles, silhouettes, and fabrics, but one trend we didn’t see coming was red and scarlet colored wedding gowns! Vera Wang’s spring 2013 collection was a show-stopper indeed! It was full of deep red fabrics, intricate detailing, and full skirts. Vera commented on her new collection by saying, “The symbolism of red—boldly romantic, charming, protective, grand, seductive, sexy. From dahlia to scarlet, crimson and vermilion. It’s a celebration of love.” What better way to celebrate love than to wear red? It certainly would take a bride that is wanting to make a statement to walk down the aisle in a red dress. I love the idea of wearing something unusual. Afterall, it is your big day. Why not take a leap of faith and step out in a red dress? You would make jaws drop. So, what do y’all think? Would you wear a red dress? Leave a comment below with your answer!
