Chic Vintage Bride – Joan

Of all the eras, I always find wedding photos from the 1940s most poignant because they so rarely reveal the hardships endured at the time (I think that’s why I love this chic vintage bride so much) Their smiling faces never betray the feeling that their joy and happiness could end all too soon. There is…

Chic Vintage Bride – Goan Wedding

There is not much I love more than looking at vintage wedding photos – all the romance, glamour and grace of a bygone era, the beginning of a new life in a time when it couldn’t have been more different…. I love to lose myself a little in each Chic Vintage Bride post I write imagining the fate…

Chic Vintage Bride – Joan Dowden

Today’s Chic Vintage Bride is the glamorous lady solely responsible for my obsession with all things vintage, is my inspiration, my hero and quite simply the most beautiful bride I have ever seen. She wasn’t a starlet of the big screen (although with those looks I am sure she could have been) or a member of any royal family and you…
