Today we’re going to talk about one of our favorite looks: the classic elegance of vintage style long sleeve wedding gowns. One of the best things about planning a wedding in modern times: the choices. So many choices! OK, so this can also be an overwhelming aspect of the planning process, and can at times seem like it may break you…

For a long time, you didn’t get to choose the style of your wedding dress: there was one style, and that was it.

Oh, what a lovely 1930s style wedding dress from Natalia Misslin! Love the draping bias cut and that little flowing scarf-piece on the shoulder is the perfect ’30s touch.
Fashion trends come and go, but there will never be a year where we’re not all about the perfect vintage style of 1920s wedding dresses. Likewise, there will never be a year where a Jenny Packham collection debuts and we’re aren’t immediately floored, flabbergasted, gobsmacked and IN LOVE. Case in point: Jenny Packham bridal 2018, …
