The Vintage Wedding Fair

As many of you already know, the UK's first vintage wedding fair was held in Harrogate last weekend. I thought you might like to see some snaps taken from the day. There was plenty to see and do ranging from vintage wedding dresses to retro transport!

Claire lennon (pictured), vintage hair and make-up artist was on hand for demonstrations to make sure visitors to the fair looked the part! And for those in need of a vintage style mid-shop refreshment, The marvellous Tea Dance Company was at their service with tea and cakes!

The Big 50s Style Wedding Shoe Post!

I must admit I think I have deveoped a serious shoe fetish researching for this post. I found it hard to narrow my choices down, which is why I have shown rather a large selection!



When choosing shoes to go with your 50s style wedding dress there are a few paths to consider taking. Think Mary Janes, peep toe styles, bows and polkadots to take that retro styling right from head to toe.

You can add a bit of personality with detailing such as vintage style bling or rockabilly style skull print. You may also consider matching your shoe colour with your sash and petticoat for a stunning contrast to your dress.
