Bridal headpieces of 1911

I’m currently working on a wedding dress, so I’m a little wedding mad this week (not that this is particularly unusual for me!). To inspire you, and me, here are some gorgeous images of bridal headdresses from 1912. The veils themselves might not have aged that well, but the models sure are timeless beauties. Sigh.  Aren’t they gorgeous.  The models.  Still not sure about the headdresses.

Finished project: Carolyn’s dress

Here is a long overdue post with photographs from Carolyn’s wedding in her amazing art deco inspired dress. Doesn’t she look fabulous?  Doesn’t she look amazing?

The bright spring bouquets with lilacs!  The mixed and matched bridesmaids dresses!  Her shoes!  The world’s cutest mini-flowergirl!  She even cried.  It couldn’t have been more perfect.

Her traditional horseshoe must have been all the good luck they say it is. I love Gran’s tiara, and her wedding bouquet. I wonder what happened to her tiara. And what kind of flowers she carried. Hydrangeas or those green puffball flowers? And maybe chrysanthemums? And jasmine? Gran was attended by her two sisters, and Granbob’s only sister. Isn’t her baby sister (many years younger than her) just adorable?   See the pearl necklace Gran is wearing? Gran was given it on her wedding day by her new in-laws, and she gave it to me just before our wedding. …
