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…
But! But: being able to pick your style, your vows, your venue, and the aesthetic of your wedding is something some modern brides might almost take for granted.

Variations within, of course, but the selection in a bridal shop in 1985 was certainly a lot more uniform than the selection today.

Browsing through some art deco dresses yesterday I came across a brand I’d never heard of before, called Mignon. Some really lovely stuff! I think the reason I hadn’t seen these gowns before is that they are often marketed as formal/prom/dance dressess as opposed to wedding gowns, but some of them would be absolutely ideal …
The search for the perfect wedding dress can take months (years, in some cases, or so we’ve heard…), and finding a good deal can be next to impossible. For some, you’ll be so relieved when you finally find The Dress you’ll plunk down whatever it costs. But if you’re searching for a great gown and a …
