#162 Dream of Tulle

So, WOW?
A giant thank you to Miss Susan for sending me the link to this stunning pale pink & champagne silk & tulle gown from Ouma!
Made to measure & with different colours available, one of these gorgeous gowns takes only 6-8 weeks to ship from the U.S. Can you handle any more awesome news? This creation comes in at $783 aud. Hooray for delicious budget friendly dresses!
Photography by Galaxie Andrews is also a wee bit breathtaking... that light...

  
 
cotton+tulle $243 aud & cotton+tulle $448 aud

 
cotton+tulle $336 aud & antique crotchet+silk tulle $914 aud

 
cotton+tulle $176 aud & cotton+tulle $243 aud

The last 2 could work fantastically as bridesmaid attire?
I love that one off vintage crochet floor length gown, the tulle bow on the shoulder is perfection.
It's always extra exciting when a creator of such fabulous things is so open to special requests!

#126 Vintage Wedding Dresses

Gorgeous vintage wedding dresses via Bohemian Bisoux on Etsy...

'The Mae' - Vintage late 1950's, white lace. $334 aud
 

'The Paige' - Vintage 1950's, white chiffon. $142 aud
 

'The Penny' - 1950's/1960's gold brocade. $142 aud
(I think the mannequin perhaps doesn't do this gown justice, it seems as though it needs a few more curves in the right places. But such an interesting design don't you think? The buttons are such an unusual & pretty feature.)
 

'The Sally' - Vintage 1960's cream wool cape + skirt set. $71 aud
 
Can you believe those dresses? Can you believe those prices?! Buy three, decide on the day? Jokes jokes... Kinda...
I really, really love that gorgeous little chiffon party dress. The sweet cut of it, the flattering tucks at the front & that neckline is just perfection.
I'd also love that little cape & skirt set, I don't know if I'm quite fabulous enough to pull it off but I'd give it a go!
Now some lovely accessories also from Bohemian Bisoux...

'The Janie' - Vintage 1930's ecru crotched fishnet gloves. $31 aud
 

'The Soleil' - Vintage 1950's beaded cocktail hat. $35 aud
 

'The Rumi' - Vintage 1950's sequined beaded metallic cocktail hat. $33 aud
 

I so wish I could get to see all these dresses come to life...

Later today - Vintage Bridesmaid gowns!

#111 Monique Lhuillier

I quite like Monique Lhuillier...

 
 

I'm also a big fan of wedding gowns with a twist, I think these gorgeous creations (in varying degree of 'twist') would be stunning choices...

  
   

And really, why not take the plunge?

In all honesty I'm not really a fan of the red wedding dress trend but that gown is too lovely to not include!
I am in love with that pant suit. Can't you just imagine that? Even for a vow renewal... hmmmm....

#107 1950 Does Too!

To follow on from the previous post, another sublime find by my friend Eva via Vintageous (cute name huh?).
How delicious is this 1950's cocktail dress?!
Made from ivory lace & 3 layers pink organdy & with a structured bodice, i think it would make a perfect wedding dress for a garden party wedding...
I hope the lucky person who bought it for a mere $265 thinks so too!
Just more evidence that an absolutely stunning & one of a kind wedding gown needn't cost the earth... & I don't need to explain the benefits of 'recycling' right? ;)

 

Thanks for the eye candy Eva!
