I personally love the idea of having a vintage wedding theme. I find it different and unique- and very inspiring to photograph, as a wedding photographer. Vintage dresses are usually made from exquisite fabrics and beautifully crafted. They allow brides to wear something that is totally unique and which can be worn from the day of purchase. Of course, a vintage wedding dress that is in good condition and which fits properly is not always easy to come by.

Claire Pettibone
Claire Pettibone says about her work, “When I design a collection I strive to make a woman feel as special as the delicate creation she is wearing; take her to a enchanted time and place where women are princesses and magnificent goddesses. In today’s modern world we need to pause and indulge in beauty.”

“The Great Gatsby” Movie Inspiration
With the release of The Great Gatsby, I had to post about it on my blog. I went to see the movie and I found the setting amazing, and I loved the intricately gorgeous costumes used through out this movie. From the beaded flapper dresses to the crystal head pieces, I can’t help but think that this will definitely be the most glamorous and elegant renditions of all.
With designers including Miuccia Prada and Oscar-winner Catherine Martin responsible for dressing the stars, we are set to see outfits inspired by the archives of Prada, Miu Miu, Tiffany & Co and Brooks Brothers.
Here are a few more dresses that can be applicable as wedding dresses inspired by The Great Gatsby:

Great Gatsby Inspiration for the Groom
Brooks Brothers
International retailer Brooks Brothers has released a limited-edition menswear collection inspired by the costumes in Baz Luhrmann’s adaptation of The Great Gatsby. The line, produced in collaboration with the film’s costume designer Catherine Martin, is comprised of Art Deco-inspired formalwear and daywear, including tuxedos, tailored suits, suiting separates, shirts, ties, shoes and accessories. Most pieces are inspired directly by looks worn by Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire). The characters’ costumes have been “modified for the collection so they are at once clearly inspired by the era but entirely wearable today,” the company said. A few significant pieces include a pinstriped pink suit made from 100 percent linen-the same fabric used for the film-and a bowtie worn by Gatsby during the film.
