Are you looking to the past for bridal styling inspiration? As we showed you on Monday, you could of course go down the 1920s route with its Art Deco decadence, but today we are looking at the fun and flirty Fifties!
Joanne Fleming, Venetia
The big draw of ’50s style is of course the dresses! Classic tea length dresses of the ’50s are flattering, allow plenty of movement and give you the chance to show off your pins or a fancy pair of shoes. Come the evening party, dancing will be no problem and the full skirt will scream to be twirled! Click through for a few ’50s style gowns that we’re particularly fond of.
Naomi Neoh, Camelia
Named after the silk camelia flower which decorates the sash, this gorgeous ivory silk chiffon tea length gown is pictured with a corded lace bolero which can be removed to reveal the bodice which is finely ruched.
Naomi Neoh gowns are available from Ivory & Pearl, Comber.
Fancy New York, Joy
We love the beautiful lace trim on this strapless gown, as well as the unusual dropped waist and bow belt. A perfect gown with ’50s flair! Fancy Bridal is available exclusively from Bella Bleu Vintage Bridal Boutique in Dublin.
Blue Bridalwear
Two piece with boat neck floral bodice and full A line skirt, which ends just above the ankle. Pretty sweet and perfect for showing off a dazzling pair of shoes we think!
