In the fashion industry, the tongue-in-cheek mantra is 'what's old is new again', as styles are constantly dying-off, then resurrecting (some of which should NEVER come back, ugh). And so it is with vintage wedding fashions.
Modern gowns will always be the 'in' thing to wear, because the industry has created it to be so. If you are a bride-to-be, you are indoctrinated at a young age to want THAT particular designer (because she's all the rage on the fashion page), or THAT particular look (the look is everything, isn't it?), or to purchase your gown from THAT particular salon (gosh, everyone who's anyone goes there!).
I have no qualms with anyone who feels ^ that ^ way. To each her own.
I am here, however, to expressly cater to those who march (down the aisle) to a different drum! Those who want to begin their marital journey by also proudly representing the past. That's my tribe. Those are the people who speak to my soul.
This is my 25th year. A quarter of a century matching brides-to-be with vintage gowns. I've coordinated whole wedding themes via long distance. Matching each gown to the ideal b2b is a personal challenge that I relish. I ensure that every gown/dress will fit and that it suits the personality of the wearer and the theme of the wedding itself. No small task, really. I just hope that I'm able to continue for another 25 years.... :)
