VINTAGE SUNSET
I hope this board inspires a vintage feeling in all of you looking toward a Gatsbyesque or Hollywood style wedding. The pale salmons and beiges suggest sepia tones evocative of the start of the last century when lace and intricate embroidery applications were more commonly used. If you can find just one vintage item or accessory to work into your wedding day it will make a real difference sentimentally (especially if the item is passed down from a loved one) as well as adding panache to your look . . .

ONCE UPON A TIME
One of the nicer aspects of aging would have to be 'remembering when' and actually seeing ads like these in daily papers back in the 1970s when fashion illustrations were still the norm. Thanks to Wendy Hartigan of Bridal Affairs in Philadelphia,we have these great fashion illustrations.. She sent me these clippings along with some editorials from Bride's from her mother's files. The above photo of the bride in a helmet-like headpiece and waterfall veil is from the late sixties; the bottom image late seventies when the gypsy-chic of Oscar de la Renta and YSL was all the rage; this is the era I cut my teeth in . . .

MEET ME IN THE PARK
CREDITS
Photography by: The Renegades:
Gowns and Veils: Amy-Jo Tatum
Makeup: Aliya Qazi
Venue: Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, CA
Models: Jen and Sujan
Golden Gate Park in San Francisco is home to a couple of the the city's museums, the De Young and California Academy of Sciences. Next door is the Japanese Tea Garden, an outdoor botanical garden steeped in a serene and peaceful beauty. After you've visited this 1000 plus acre landmark you'll find yourself asking, 'where else can you find year round greenery in so many fields of open space?' Because Golden Gate Park has a unique landscape, there are scores of special places to get married indoors and out. The most romantic of all would be Shakespeare's Garden the spot that pays tribute to all the the plants and flowers mentioned in the Bard's poems and plays. You'll find lady-smocks, hemlock, violets, and other florid representations of Shakespeare's works.
Opting for spots in full bloom as well as architectural interest, we also improvised along the way and had a real day of it . .

THE TRUTH ABOUT GOING VINTAGE
The above gown is from Amy-Jo Tatum's collection of authentic vintage gowns. This one is from the 1960s Balenciaga era. Photo by Lirette Photography
If you're flirting with the idea of wearing that dress from your favorite era, here's the lowdown: Many vintage clothing stores stock actual gowns from by-gone eras as well as ‘retro-inspired’ selections that are brand new. The bride in love with a particular era of clothing usually checks vintage clothing stores first. Not all opt for an actual gown that survived the ages though. Some go for a newer style reflecting the period in natural, sustainable fibers. Why? Because that authentic 1916 Shiffli lace blouse may be so delicate, without proper restoration it could literally fall apart. Think of gowns belonging to the ages like you would certain antiques: some so precious to be considered museum quality. Depending on restoration, the rule of thumb is, the older the gown the less they should be worn. If you are set on wearing that 1910 dress find a specialist in restoration who can advise. At this point you may have to decide whether or not going green or wearing a repro Art Deco (possibly in synthetic or made in overseas sweatshops) is the more important.
