We’re back! Sorry for the delay in posting, it has been a crazy few weeks. But here we are. And tonight we’ve got a lovely set of vintage wedding photos courtesy of Michelle McMurray, founder of Wedding Story Writer. These images are scans of actual wedding photos from the 1920s and 30s, and there are so many fascinating details to be inspired by!
First up, this elegant lady, resplendent in pearls, white opera gloves and a to-die-for jeweled art nouveau / art deco headband.
Can’t you just feel how luxe those fabrics are, even through the sepia? Amazing.
Now for some bridal party inspiration… check out these dapper fellows and their dates.
Gorgeous! All of it. Love the tuxes, the short dresses (even on the bride!), the hair, the cap veil, and those huge 20s style overflowing, draped bouquets (note to self: need to do a “huge 20s bouquet” post soon.) And speaking of fabulous florals…
Simply lovely (and perfect hair!). Also lovely? Our next bride, smiling and stunning on her wedding day.
And finally: this beaded cap-veiled beauty. Check out those metallic flapper t-strap shoes (and the edgy deco backdrop for this photo, dated May 17th, 1930.)
Today, this sweet and lovely inspiration shoot comes to us from Patrick Hadley Photography. The locations are two different old mansions in Michigan (The Webster House and Keswick Manor.) and the model (Tanya) wore her own wedding dress for the shoot. Take a look! (and click to enlarge the thumbnails.) I’m trying to track down …
The one-shoulder look came (back?) into fashion sometime in the last few years, and while admittedly at its worst it can be a little Wilma Flintstone-esque, at its best it evokes a fabulous, Grecian/20s/art deco feel. For example, you’ll find it hard to argue with these one shoulder wedding gowns, including this first one by …
This absolutely gorgeous art deco Colorado wedding from Harper Point Photography features a collection of fabulous vintage details, paired with simply breathtaking scenery and setting… What a joy! Katy, the bride, describes herself and her groom (Sean) as “outdoorsy” but also “nerdy” (they met as PhD students) which in my most humble opinion is a …
