Wedding season is upon us. I know this because there are currently at least five brides-t0-be sharing every single disastrous moment that occurs in the build up to their weddings on my Facebook newsfeed. The closer they get to their big day, the more volatile the status updates become. And so to commemorate this joyous season, I’ve decided to dive yet again into my vault of vintage goodies and pull out some photographs of vintage brides.
But we can’t start without talking about Margherita Missoni’s vintage gypsy-inspired wedding gown. Her dress made quite an impression with style blogs everywhere this week. I personally loved it even though I’ve always thought I’ll choose quite a low-key dress myself. She still managed to make it look comfortable and relaxed however, and even wore flat shoes (my kind of gal).
Okay, time to turn back the clock for some wedding dress nostalgia …
