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.)
Looking for that perfect art deco dress but not interested in spending two months rent/mortgage on anything except rent and mortgage? This oh-so-lovely vintage style gown is a secret steal ($200! Not sure that’s even legal in WeddingWorld…) and pretty as a picture. Love that brooch on the bodice and the way the chiffon is …
This absolutely gorgeous vintage inspired roaring 20s wedding is a color-saturated delight from start to finish (the 1920s / art deco flowers in this wedding are perfection.) But as always, I’m often drawn to the black and white photos, especially beautiful candids like this one: What joy! I love everything about this Alabama wedding: dress, …
Look at these gorgeous sketches (art in their own right) from the 1920s! Housed in the Department of Special Collections at FIT, these are scans of original 20s wedding gown sketches, housed in the the FIT archives ‘Lucile, Lady Duff Gordon’ collection. See more sketches and read about Lucile Duff Gordon at Pins and Needles …
This lovely little boho Art Nouveau wedding styled shoot from photographer Nikk Nguyen has a plethora of gorgeous details (and one intriguing hat making a late appearance). But our favorite piece? The oh-so-pretty Art Nouveau look of the bride, evoking the romantic beauty of a classic Alphonse Mucha piece. Click the images below for more …
