Stand-out style

Now I don’t know if today’s dresses are what I’ll be donning down the aisle but that doesn’t mean I don’t think they’re incredible! I’m a girl that prefers to blend into a crowd, happy in the knowledge that nobody is looking at me and although I can’t wait to get married I’m not looking forward to the fact that I’d be the centre of attention and have to speak in front of lots of people; I have always hated public speaking! I envy those that have the confidence to stand out. And if you’re one of those you may well want to wow your guests on your wedding day. If you’re dreaming of a gown that is theatrical and bold and beautiful Chantal’s creations may be just what you’re looking for.

Chantal creates one off dresses described as “vintage, period & fairytale couture”. Her signature is gowns that feature 18th century style boned corsets with traditional back lacing. But despite a traditional design her gowns definitely have a contemporary edge to them. See for yourself…

Wow right?! I love the Hollywood glamour of Daysy with its utterly modern huge handmade daisies. Ice Queen adorned with crystals and feathers would make a perfect pick for a winter wonderland wedding. Vienna just has that perfect princess appeal and Coquette I love. With masses of pink tulle and a beautiful brocade bodice this may well be what I’d swish down the aisle in; if I wasn’t the shy type :)

I’m loving the first one for it’s more unusual bridal gown shape and the sexy silhouette of the second. That cute yellow bow is adorable in the 3rd; you could attach a bow like this to most bridal gowns I bet! Numbers 4 & 5 would make a perfect evening gown change too. What do you think? Can you see yourself walking down the aisle in one of these?

For vintage seekers…

I’m not really a jewellery person. I love the odd accessory for a night out but, on a day-to-day basis, I never wear any jewellery; not even a watch, they just bug me. And I even wonder how I’ll cope with an engagement ring one day! But then I saw these…

Vintage-Seekers-Rings

I could so wear these! And gawp at them all day long…

The fact that they’re vintage and therefore one off pieces makes them even more appealing. You can find all these at the incredible online store Vintage Seekers: a brilliant website for fans of original 20th century design and collectibles. Some of them are a little pricey such as the top one being £6,800! But it’s French and it’s circa 1945 and it’s carved ruby… J’adore! :D

And dresses!

If you love vintage you must check out this store there’s everything from furniture to music to wine! But for the brides among you let me leave you with a few of the gorgeous gowns you could don on your big day…

Vintage-Seekers-Dresses

I just love the dress bottom left; a 1960s fitted cocktail dress by American designer Richard Blackwell. It’s so cute!
