a Patriotic Bride

Saturday, August 7, 2010




Aren't these pinup brides fantastic? This WellWed Magazine photo shoot was featured on the Wedding Chicks and captured my imagination! Perfect for a 4th of July fête, these great photos feature 1940's-inspired styling and lots of matte red lipstick. The blonde's textured gown is a mermaid number by Melissa Sweet, paired with peep-toe pumps from Flippa Scott.

The brunette's first dress is a fabulous strapless cotton lace mermaid gown by Claire Pettibone, shown with an organza and silk veil by Boutique de Voile. The Amy Kuschel dress beside it features a sweetheart neckline and flounced hem. Finally, what looks better in a military truck than a delicately embroidered dress by Melissa Sweet?

What do you think, dear readers? Would you rock hair rolls and red lipstick on your wedding day? I know I would!

  1. I adore this veil. I am not a long veil person but my mom is so hoping I will wear one. This may be just the perfect solution. Thanks for sharing these beautiful photos.

  3. Me too, Kayla! It sounds like the best way to spend an afternoon, taking glamorous pin up shots!

    It's absolutely a sexy look, but classic, too. Just the way I like it!
