Pinup Wedding Style

There are many ways to incorporate a pinup, vintage or rockabilly feel to your wedding style.  Here I have done more of a classic pinup or vintage feel. I had this dress from Lindy Bop that I thought could be a perfect wedding dress.  I could picture an afternoon garden wedding wearing this!  This particular cocktail style dress is really cute and could be styled many ways.  It features a sheer overlay and peplum overlay.  It has a fitted bodice and flared skirt.  The dress is sleeveless, but you could add a shrug and change up the look!  I really like the simplicity of this dress, so it leaves a lot of room to add the accessories of your choice.  I decided to go simple with a fun pop in leopard heels!  I'm wearing a vintage hat and pearl jewelry.  I even thought about doing blue heels for "something blue". I did not a petticoat, but there is certainly room to if you would want that look.  





There are many vintage reproduction clothing companies that have options for wedding dresses. You'll just need to narrow down the style you are wanting.  Another option for a daytime wedding dress look is the halter neck style with a full circle skirt.  I think that is one of my favorite looks!  It's fun to add a pop of color in the belt and shoes with that style!  If you are wanting a more formal wedding, you could go very glamorous with a fishtail or mermaid style dress.  You could do an Old Hollywood theme wedding or even a dressy Rockabilly look with that style!  The possibilities are really endless in planning for your special day, just stay to yourself and you will shine!

A Timeless Trudy- Karina Dresses

It's time again for a great review of a new Trudy Dress from Karina Dresses!  This has quickly become one of my favorite dresses to style. Karina Dresses are absolutely perfect for the warm weather. They are lightweight and wrinkle free, but they have a dressy classic look too! I am loving this new print, Rosy Posy. It's so cute! The little dainty red flowers are outlined in blue patterns and it's a really catchy look. It will be great for Spring and Summer outings. The Trudy is dressy enough for weddings and parties or fun enough for picnics or just running around town. This style has a full coverage sweetheart neckline and a fitted waistband. I love the little capped sleeves on the Trudy as well! 









This red, white and blue beauty is an American made dress in the Hudson Valley, NY. Women of all shapes and sizes can enjoy wearing this style and all of the styles that Karina Dresses offers! All of the dresses I have tried have been so well made and flattering.  I am constantly impressed by the new prints too! I love colors and fun, so they are right up my alley. The Trudy dress is available in many prints in sizes 0-24. 







I wore my favorite red vintage hat and beads for this look. I liked the way it came together, it's a bit different than my usual look. I also added some fun red glasses for a change! 






Here's a closer look at the Rosy Posy print!
