Bride Chic: Getting Harlow and Garbo Chic
About Bride Chic

I love the Art Deco wedding complete with a bride making her entrance in the starlet wedding dress. Some simply add touches of that movie star look with feathered fascinators or those rare vintage shoes. Though the peak of Hollywood Glamour was the 1930s, 40s and 50s, fashion reflected its own kind of chic too.
The 1940s concentrated on wide shoulders, satin and high hair-dos, usually worn half up, half down. The 1950s ushered in the strapless bodice with full skirts and layers of petticoats. Reminiscent of Golden Hollywood fashion is the long white satin evening gown, ruched and ruffled arms, sleeves and hems and, of course, the long, slinky gown with a train. Part of the magic of glamour fashion is designers today are using it as an inspiration point to create their own take on it...

my sis-in-law to-be had an art deco (Greta Garbo)-inspired wedding this summer! she did a gorgeous half up/down do with a feather fascinator and birdcage veil. The shoes, to die for: http://www.highsocietybridal.co.uk/vintage-wedding-shoes/
Her hubby played the part in a white-coated tux and spats! uber-cuteness!
I am going with the vintage glamor look for my wedding. I found the most fabulous mermaid style dress with a sweetheart neckline that screams old Hollywood. I also have a feather fasinator made by Tassia Lada designs. I love this look!
I was wondering who the designer is for these gowns? The website that they link to is not in English so I am unable to read it.
Thanks,
Stephanie
