I’m Not Fooling Anyone

Newport Beach/ Dolly Couture

Newport Beach by Dolly Couture

Stepping out pretty as a picture in a Dolly Couture wedding dress is sure to make the heads around you spin as much as your vintage short wedding dress. Now, let me be honest- I’ve been married for almost 16 years now, but Dolly Couture’s dresses seduce me to get married again and again and again; to the same man of course!

Well… anyway I’m aching to wear Dolly Couture’s original designs- or modify a bit for my custom gown. Realistically, I’ll have to have a dress made for my anniversaries- yes plural- because I want to dance around in a variety of Dolly Couture’s dresses! Since, I doubt my dear husband would want to go through many wedding reenactments just so I could parade about in my vintage dresses- personally, I’ll have to satisfy my envious yearnings with other special occasions that would justify my own custom Dolly Couture.

But for you, now you’re very fortunate that Dolly Couture’s gowns are available for your wedding. Grab hold and take advantage of the one of a kind attention you will receive during the entire process.  In the meantime- if you see on the news a crazy, but happy woman twirling and laughing- maybe even running through baseball games wearing different Dolly Couture dresses- well than you know who it is and I guess I’m not fooling anyone.

As always, Dolly Couture at http://www.DollyCouture.com is happy to customize your gown. Dolly Couture professionally specializes in vintage style short wedding dresses that will be the beautiful introduction of your wedding story and new beginning.

My Vintage Valentine

A Valentine’s Day wedding proposal is a classic Valentine’s Day tale, and just as sweet, is a bride in a vintage wedding dress. Is there anything more enchanting on the reception dance floor than the delicate twirl of your short wedding dress? What’s ‘in’ and ‘out’ might be good for hairstyles, but not when it comes to your wedding dress.

Ribbons and bows, lace and elegance, it’s whatever you want your classically short wedding dress to be. Is your fancy a tea length gown sassy or demure? Your wedding dress should be as unique as your own love story. Choosing your wedding dress really doesn’t have to be difficult- you know what you want, express it.

Glamour starlets of old Hollywood radiated the silver screen and impressed our fashion sense introducing the playful lady by the whirl of her dress. Your hair color and styles may change and at times wince at those old photos. However, your vintage inspired wedding dress is romantically fresh with just enough tradition to be just as classical as Valentine’s Day.

As technology flashes before our eyes, it’s not surprising that the timeless iconic brides from the 50’s and 60’s continue to inspire. Most notably, Audrey Hepburn’s short wedding dress in Funny face and her personal wedding dress choice to actor Mel Ferrer.

The delicate romance of a tea length wedding dress; remains a classy as well as a novel choice dress creation. This stylish beauty, which was adorned by Hollywood icons, such as, Lucille Ball, transcends wedding themes.

Doris Day and Debbie Reynolds are just a few of old Hollywood’s beauties that set the stage for many short wedding dress dreams. Vintage short wedding dresses proclaim fun, refine innocence, and are most flattering. This could be one of many reasons why the traditional and retro bridal styles were so welcomed in the 50’s and 60’s.

Putting on your Sunday’s best for baseball games and stepping around in heels as you vacuum (which I’m relieved the housecleaning beauty is gone). I am a bit envious that my wardrobe doesn’t consist with more of this vintage wardrobe. A perfect style that is so feminine that can carry any attitude you want. Oh, how I wish I could dress like the women of the 50”s and 60’s everyday.  The histrionic fashion of the ladies from our past; extends the cocktail length wedding dress for many brides today and in the future.

In my four years of designing dresses in this style, I’ve encountered so many wonderful pieces of inspiration and stories.  I wanted a venue to share them with other enthusiasts of the short wedding dress and so this blog is launched!  Thank you so much for joining us.  My friends and I will be sharing so many fantastic pieces of information and ideas on how to make your vintage inspired wedding dress something special.  We hope you’ll contact us to create your vision of a perfect wedding dress, or simply join us for a trip back through the years to simpler times.

Please visit often and share your own stories on this unique way to walk down the aisle.

I donate this blog to my mom, Esther McDonald, whose out of the box wedding dress inspired a line of gowns that has created happy brides all around the world.   We’ll discuss mom and dad lots here at the short wedding dress blog.  Maybe mom will even write one or two.  Love you, Mom!
