One of the largest trends we've seen in fashion in the past few years has been the return of the vintage dress. The wedding world is no exception, and I have to say that after seeing
this wedding over at
Snippet & Ink, it's a trend I can get behind!
I mean, how awesomely fun does this group of ladies look with each of them wearing such unique dresses, pulled together by the tulle shoulder wraps and beautiful bouquets?
I know when I hit the vintage stores in Seattle I always spy some fun 50's style dresses that I would love to have an excuse to wear! There are also some great ones on
etsy...
Imagine assigning your maids with the simple task of finding a fun vintage piece in any pastel color they adore... these could all be options.
There's also the option of going for a little vintage inspiration in new dress, like these gorgeous creations from
Samuelle. Just look at that detail! So dreamy.
And for the bride? Well, of course, there's always white. But, I might just have to suggest this amazing
yellow gown to top things off...
While it would certainly take the right personality to pull this whole look off, I do think it's such a fun idea - and probably much more affordable than most wedding and bridesmaid dresses! What do you think? Could you handle it?

And it reminded me of how much I adore the simple, structured look for brides. There's something so eternally sophisticated about it. In fact, it should come as no surprise that the designer here is Oscar de la Renta whose silhouettes constantly make me swoon.
Ditch the hat for a birdcage veil, and this simple white sheath and coat is perfect for a courthouse wedding.
Bringing back the sleeve is such a fabulous trend right now, and I've always adored this dress and styling for its simple yet stunning cut and details.
This pretty little Camilla & Marc dress (available at Sunday Brunch) should do the trick, don't you think? The ruffle details are killing me.
I cannot imagine a better accessory for lighter fall (or spring!) showers while the weather is still fairly mild. The classic trench qualities make it a keeper, but the capelet cut makes it much more original. I must find one!!
In the meantime, however, I'd be perfectly happy with either of these summery dresses. Sheer polka dots?? Yes please!
My love for Rachel Gilbert and our apparent mutual addiction to sequins and sparkles was totally renewed when I stumbled upon this dress a couple weeks ago. Since then I've been drooling over the combo of white + silver on the majority of the dresses in her latest collection.
I honestly wouldn't even know which one to choose, they're all so glamtastic. The neckline on that black dress above is killer though - quite unique and sexy, don't you think?
Why don't we all just pick one for the week, and call it good? Which one will you be sipping some champagne in with me?
