With all of this talk of Art Deco, I thought it was the perfect time for a little reminder (or introduction, for those of you who are new to Chic Vintage Brides) to the collection of beautiful authentic vintage bridal gowns and dresses from the fabulous Mill Crest Vintage. So, for those of you who dream of walking down the aisle in a one-off, vintage piece I have pulled together some of my favourites from their carefully curated current collection of Art Deco dresses…..

A family run business for over 30 years, Mill Crest Vintage have developed a truly unique approach to curating their amazing collection. “We believe that every girl is an individual, with her own sense of style, her own unique shape, her own expression of who she is and what inspires her. Every dress that is added to the collection must also be as unique as the bride that will wear it on her wedding day.”

With their discerning eye for beautiful details and a unique dress they have accumulated one of the largest collections of utterly gorgeous vintage wedding, bridesmaids and mother-of-the-bride dresses you ever will see! With pieces dating from the Edwardian era to the 1980s there is something for every vintage loving bride. In fact, their store in Lambertville, NJ (conveniently situated between New York City and Philadelphia) sounds like my idea of heaven on earth! However, for those of us not lucky enough to live just round the corner, their swanky new website at www.millcrestvintage.com is most definitely the next best thing! Because Erica & Paula, the lovely ladies behind the brand, know just what brides are looking for in a vintage wedding dress, each one is categorised by era with each listing thoughtfully compiled with a selection of photographs from all angles and an accurate, full description – that includes details of the condition of each gown; so you can feel confident purchasing one of their heirloom beauties.

Here are a few of my favourites from their collection of dresses from 1920s and 1930s, each evoking the glamour and elegance of the Art Deco era. For the Flapper loving bride something short, sweet and perfect for doing the Charleston…..

And for your bridesmaids…..

Or for the elegant Art Deco bride, something slinky for you to sashay down the aisle in…..

And for your bridesmaids…..

Vintage gowns from Mill Crest Vintage range from $500 to $1500.  To see the rest of their collection and for further information, do pop across to their website www.millcrestvintage.com. And if after you’ve looked over these, and the hundreds of dresses they have listed, you still can’t find the dress of your dreams, Erica & Paula are more than happy to help you find one with just a quick phone call! And to be the first to see their latest additions, be sure to find and follow Mill Crest Vintage on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Google+ and Twitter.
