Aren’t they lovely?? How could any bridesmaid walk down the aisle with anything but a smile on her face in one of these?! If you love this style as much as I do, why not linger here on Chic Vintage Brides a little longer and take a look at some real brides and their 1950s inspired weddings? Such as this Woodland delight had a high tea reception and this sweet intimate celebration. And for even more ideas, take a peek at this charming 1950s inspired shoot in lavender!

Don’t forget if the fifties just aren’t your style, do take a peek back at the last series. It was packed full of Art Deco styling that would have made Mr Gatsby himself jealous! And in just a few more weeks I’ll be moving on to the next era….. now do we go Edwarian, 1940s, or 1960s? What do you think?
