NEW TWISTS ON AN OLD TRADITION

Here's is a perfect example of mixing up styles to create your own trend.  Our bride above is a little bit Boho, a tad traditional all dressed in white Chantilly lace and contemporary in her red satin pumps.  I found this incredible image on Vogue Novias where you can enjoy a video with more gowns and wedding splendor from Sunny Spain . . .

ADDING A LOOK OF ANTIQUITY

 
We're seeing a resurgence of Edwardian and pre-1920 styles over the last few seasons.  Could this perchance be due to the popularity of the BBC Series, Downton Abby?  Or Hotel Grand?  Both series are British and set in WWI England, a time synonymous with lace, silk and jewelry in pewter and gold.  Below are just a few ideas to inspire you on to creating a romantic early 20th Century look . . . .
