Rock n Roll Bride!

To say that we're obsessed with the 1950s would be an understatement...and we're even more head over heels for the current influx of rockabilly inspired weddings! We adore the wicked sense of style and badass, rebellious attitude it evokes as well as being the epitome of elegance. From dazzling pearls and crystals to huge fit and flare silhouettes we simply love the charm and nostalgia surrounding these shindigs. Why not go full on fifties for your event, hire a rock n roll band and centre it around a Grease themed carnival or simply hint at a vintage look and work the arched eyebrows and 50s flick?

Feature: The Frosted Petticoat

You could hire out a 50s diner to really get the party started as who wouldn't  love jiving and dancing the night away ? Or for any musicians amongst us make your guestbook your instrument of choice and play a tune for your guests! Perhaps tempt your guests with a Sailor Jerry  themed cake to really make a statement.

Feature: ELLE France

Get the rockabilly bridal look and style your hair in smooth curls and adorn yourself in shimmering crystals like these gorgeous Tassel Earrings . Pair with a ruby red pout and a dusting of blusher and your all set!





For your bridesmaids there's these stunning printed pastel prom dresses, which would look awesome teamed with tulle petticoats and killer heels!

How Would You Pop The Question?

As some of you may be aware, yesterday was in fact  National Proposal Day! People from all across the country use this as an opportunity to propose or hint to their significant other that they are thinking along the lines of marriage bells! We thought we'd celebrate by rounding up our favourite ways to pop the question!

Wow an offer of macaroons and matrimony! What more could you ask for? We'd say this bodes well for a happy future together :).


Feature: The Awesome Daily

Now this is certainly one way to get their attention and anyone else in the vicinity! We love the effort that has gone into this proposal plan.

Put a ring on it with the help of the trusty family pet! Overloading them with cuteness can only be a good thing...

Winning them round with sweets. We like! What a thoughtful touch.

 Shell-shocked would be an understatement! What a fabulously unique idea for any beach babes or marine men amongst us :D .

From beaded flapper dresses like this Silver Gatsby Dress for a chic 1920s affair to flirty 1950s style numbers for wedding guests we will help you achieve the look of your dreams...

Think Unique: Alternative Bridesmaid Ideas For Your Wedding Day

Yes we know the bride is the babe of the ball but we shouldn't forget the best mates! The bridesmaids will want to strut their stuff too, they are on display ALL DAY…so why not give them something to show off? Styling your bridesmaids in vintage style will give you a completely unique bridal party. It’s one of the most memorable days of your whole entire life, so go ahead and make it uber-special by creating something no one else will have…

We know some of you love your girls to be all matchy-matchy, but if your dreams are made of rainbows, why not try different colours together? You can vary by style and even by fabric.

What a cool alternative idea for bridesmaids! (via rocknrollbride.com)

We totally love the idea of teaming your bridesmaids up with similar style dresses in different colours! Take a look at our lace dresses below...


You could even try different styles, same colour. This makes it super easy to cater for all your girls, by letting them wear a dress to suit their shape!


Pink your thing? Our dusky tones make the perfect colour coordinates!

Does a theme take your fancy? We've got all the bridesmaid dresses you need, from 1920s flapper styles to 1960s go-go girl. If you don’t feel at one with an era…why not follow one of the hottest trends of the season and mix your spots and stripes, patterns and prints?

We adore this pattern combo! (via modernwedding.com.au)

Try mixing and matching our vintage style prints for a wedding as unique as the dresses themselves!


Not a fan of pattern fusion, why not flaunt some florals?

Our floral dresses are bound to make your gals feel fabulous!

If the bridal gown search has left you panic stricken then why not leave the creativity to your leading ladies and let them choose their own dresses? Decide on your theme, colour or pattern and send them on a treasure hunt treat…sorted. That once reluctant bridesmaid is now totally buzzing in her new fancy frock she found herself!
