Adopt a beautifully timeless style for your wedding with a nod to the glamorous fashion of this bygone era.

If you want to achieve a flawless, sophisticated style for your wedding day, then looking back to the feminine styles that inspired iconic Hollywood starlets like Marlene Dietrich, Bette Davis, Greta Garbo, Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor is a good place to start. Certainly, it seems that they have influenced our favourite bridal designers who had brought the influence of this era into their current collections.

Luxurious fabrics and romantic, feminine designs are what it is all about this season. Form fitting bodices and draping gowns that fall beautifully around your body make for truly memorable wedding dresses.

Simply add a gorgeous pair of heels – strappy sandals, peep toe shoes or classic Mary Jane’s –  pearls and diamonds of course, and you’ll be ready to enjoy your own red carpet moment as you make your way down the aisle!
