Bride Wedding Fashion

The Downton Effect.

How many of you are hooked on Downton Abbey and can’t get enough of the love-hate relationship between Lady Mary and Matthew? Do the weddings (bar Lady Edith’s, who gets jilted at the altar last-minute) make you wish you could wear a vintage wedding gown that reflects the 1920s era? Think sleeves, bridal wreaths, lace gloves, pearls and flapper style dresses. Elegance is the key so stay away from overly dramatic make-up and keep to pastels and lighter shades. Remember, you’re  a lady.

Bridelicious may err towards the contemporary look but who says she doesn’t like a touch of old style charm and whimsy? Vintage tea party themed weddings are girly yet glamorous and can be adapted for both indoor (unfortunately space is an issue in this tiny city) and outdoor weddings. Of course, if you’re one of the lucky ones to secure a lovely garden or outdoor terrace for your tea party theme, that’ll be a bonus. Think 1920′s: use pale colours, pretty tea cups, pearls and lace. Oh-so-romantic!

It’s all about the detail. Small, intricate decoration will do the work.

It is called a tea party so it’s only fitting to wear tea length dresses? And for your beau…suspenders.
