Bridal Looks: Vintage
I love, love, love this bridal look from Cabaret Vintage. It’s vintage, with a little twist. The cocktail length dress, its color, the bridal hat, and the shoes are fabulous. I stumbled across this gown design on the Toronto Wedding Society‘s website and I just had to post it for you brides who love all things vintage.
Timeless!

Inspired by the St. Erasmus jewelry collection?
I am captivated by the jewelry line, especially the necklaces. In fact, I predict this year that stylish brides will be go above and beyond with their bridal gown accessories, specifically by making a big statement by adorning their neckline with magnificent pieces of art — haute couture necklaces.
I first blogged about haute couture necklaces when I featured the work of another jewelry designer last summer after seeing her work featured on the cover of the summer issue of Eco-Beautiful Weddings and since, I have become more enamored with vintage-inspired necklaces.
The St. Erasmus Jewelry collections are designed by Pieter Louis Erasmus and his designs are “Steeped in cross cultural inspiration from the textures of the African landscape and India…” and most famously worn by First Lady Michelle Obama.
Featured below is a necklace from his current collection for Winter 2011, which is inspired by the character, Holly Golightly from the film ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s played by Audrey Hepburn.

With an intense colour palette of dark greys, clear crystal and reflective silver hematite surfaces, the range draws upon classic vintage styling and effortlessly unites this with bold impactful silhouettes. Featuring multifaceted glossy, matte and iridescent surfaces and textures and building abstract oversized pieces, the ST•ERASMUS Autumn/Winter collection… [is] a true style statement in the volatile ultra-modern era.
Vintage Fabric Bouquets
It has taken me a while to warm up to the idea of fabric bridal bouquets. However, this bridal bouquet just caught my eye on Etsy from The Artsy Butterfly shop. Is this not the prettiest fabric bouquet you have seen…from the vintage lace, the color scheme, the layers of fabric, the different textures, and well everything? In my Paula Deen’s voice, I’ve had a change of heart “y’all” about fabric bouquets.
