Whether you love vintage clothing, furniture, or pottery, you'll agree with us that the unexpected finds are often the very best!

A few weeks ago, a lovely lady showed up at September's Bride with two vintage bridal gowns, saved from the bridal store that her aunt owned in the 1960's!  The tags are still on the gowns.  One of them is a fabulous little number with spaghetti straps and a short-sleeved bolero and attached train that is worn over the gown.  I've taken a few snapshots here to share with you.

Unfortunately, the gowns are a little discolored, so I am working on restoring the color and freshening them up before adding them to our Vintage Couture Collection.  Once they are ready, they will be available for sale on this blog and at September's Bride.

Mix it up!

One fear many people have about vintage is that it may look "costumey." And sometimes it can if you are dressed head to toe in it! I suggest picking one vintage piece and letting it take center stage! The accessories you choose should be the supporting role. Pictured above, Bailey is in a vintage 1970's ivory halter gown with small pearl accents. By accessorizing her with modern jewelry by Meg, it updates the dress and she now has a very chic look. If you need suggestions regarding restructuring a vintage gown or accessorizing one, we would love to help. We look forward to hearing from you!
