Bridal Style Inspiration: Stepping Back in Time at a Historic Inn
For brides dreaming of a wedding imbued with timeless elegance, the allure of vintage is undeniable. There's something magical about slipping into a gown with a history, a story woven into its fabric. But how do you take that vintage charm and make it feel fresh, modern, and uniquely you? Here are a couple iterations of modern vintage bridal style inspiration photographed at the enchanting Bernards Inn this winter.
With its rich history and undeniable charm, the Bernards Inn provided the perfect backdrop for showcasing the unique beauty of these wedding dresses. Its classic architecture and warm ambiance create an atmosphere of romance and sophistication that perfectly complements these gowns.
Pearls and Velvet: Unexpected Details That Make a Statement
This pink tulle 1950s gown started as a vintage find but has been subtly reimagined for the modern bride. We've defined her waist with a double-faced black velvet ribbon and replaced the self-buttons with statement pearls at the back loop closure. Updating the fit to give her a fresh and contemporary feel while still retaining its vintage charm.
Styling Tip: Pair it with modern accessories, like statement earrings or gloves, to create a unique and personalized look. A bold red lip will amplify the vintage glamour. For instance, wearing long, dangling earrings or lace gloves can add a contemporary twist to your vintage look.
A Timeless Lace Gown for the Modern Bride
This vintage lace gown evokes the glamour of a bygone era. The vintage lace is highlighted by the sheer sleeves and low back. New silk taffeta is draped in at the midriff, effortlessly elongating and accentuating the figure with understated elegance. An elegant bow and tail add a unique - removable- touch!
With its perfect balance of formality and ease, this classic silhouette is a reassuring choice for a sophisticated wedding. Its easy silhouette also makes it conducive for a city hall ceremony.
Styling Tip: A 1930s headpiece adds charm and says "Bride"- with or without a veil.
