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.)
Just a few images today from a winter wedding inspiration shoot that struck my fancy… Admittedly not really art deco themed, but it has a vintage flair, and this Snow White inspired shoot has plenty to love: the bride’s hair and makeup (love that dark lip! As always, 1920s makeup FTW), those bright reds against …
This absolutely breathtaking vintage style wedding was shot over two days across the incredible scenery of southern Iceland. Photographer M&J Studios shot Maja and Patrick exploring the countryside after their private wedding ceremony (receptions with friends and family followed later.) These truly spectacular photos captured a one-of-a-kind couple and their stunning, one-of-a-kind wedding to …
Today we have a beautifully elegant hotel wedding Stunning vintage-inspired hair and makeup, simple and timeless design and decor and a joyful spirit made this classically elegant hotel wedding shine!
Love the architectural look of this Anne Barge gown, pictured here in a 2009 ad campaign. The chevron on the bodice really gives it a classic deco feel, like a dress inspired by the Chrysler Building (plus, bonus: pockets!).
