CUTTING EDGE VINTAGE

Look what I found!  Etsy designers, vetrans as well as newcomers never cease to amaze.  Relatively new to this happening site, Kitty Andrews designs reflect her years spent in Japan as well as love of pin-up, punk couture and costume.  The best thing about Kitty's creations is, she only uses top-notch fabrics and materials and each piece is hand-crafted.
The powder puff pouf shown here would be the perfect statement for the bride wanting to add some cutting edge chic with a little vintage thrown in.

One is the trade winds, the cool and mild. To be able to use the trade winds in the bridal assistance, lightweight fabrics are best, such as georgette, linen, charmeuse, gauze, satin, cotton, silk, and chiffon. The advantage of this fabric is easy to their mobility; to limit the amount of sticking or clinging fabric may have against the bridal leather, in hot weather.

Beautiful Wedding Dresses very informal

A wedding absolutely is one of the most important things in a women' s life. Every detail should be well planned and prepared for that special occasion. Among all the things you need to do, the most important point is the bride' s wedding dress. A beautiful and elegant gown made of good fabric and premium materials certainly will make the bride become the focus at the wedding.

In the middle ages, wedding dresses had been very popular in some places especially in Europe. During the Victorian Era, wedding gowns were long, white and silk-made. But before that, bridal gowns were short and even had many different colors such as black and red. At the wedding of Queen Victoria' s and Albert of Saxe Coburg in 1840, almost all the things, from the decorations, to the wedding invitations, wedding cake, wedding favours and the wedding flowers were white. After that more and more women started to wear white wedding dresses in memory of the great Queen.

Today, most wedding gowns are still white to symbolize purity or virginity. However, it was not the real reason why Queen Victoria chose white as her gown. In fact, she opted to have a white wedding dress in order to match with her lace that she wanted to add on it. Perhaps it is just a coincidence, but anyway it has been a tradition that ten of thousands women accept to wear the white gown for years now.

Vintage Vera Wang Wedding Elegant White Dress

While looking through this year's wedding fashions I came across many themes of vintage romanticism that gives off an almost Grecian feel as well. And what better way to be dressed in a wedding as a goddess, right?

Here is a look at some of the fashions I found...


I love the sheer romantic feel this dress gives off. It's simple, feminine, and quite perfect for any wedding.


For a girly, lacy feel, you cannot find much better then this. I love the skirt on this one. It too is simply, and yet very romantic.


For the more Grecian feel, this one is perfect. I love the way the fabric lightly drapes down the back. This is extremely sensual, and yet very graceful.


For a more 'storybook' wedding, it will be hard to beat this one. I tend to more fall on the slimmer styles, but this one is absolutely breathtaking.


This dress just shouts vintage romanticism. It really is stunningly gorgeous.


I very much like the idea of this dress, but I cannot decide if I truly love the skirt. It is simplistic in a very beautiful way though.


This has a very 1950's feel that is quite great. It gives off that whole Grace Kelly feeling that we all know and love.


Vera Wang knows how to make a great wedding dress, and this is no exception. I love the whole Marie Antoinette feel this gives off.


This is another great Vera Wang addition. I love the almost 'fairy' feel this dress gives off. It's mysterious and intriguing to the fullest.


I love the subtlety of this beautiful gown.


Another Grecian feel with this one.


This is a very interesting idea for a wedding dress. I love the almost 1920's feel this one eludes. It's fun, flirty, and daring.


I love the light hint of green on this gown. Who says your wedding dress has to be all white

Very bold silk organza ruffle skirt and rose-embroidered skirt. Would you wear this? Quite the scene-stealer.

The one of the left is so adorable! Chantilly lace-embellished corset with full A-line tulle skirt. Okay the one on the right below is not an A-line dress.
