A bride in Dear Golden

How perfect is Laura in her 'Begin the Beguine' 1930s wedding gown from Dear Golden? I cannot imagine it fitting anyone else so perfectly. It is such a honor to dress brides!

A Bride in Dear Golden

Photo credit Lakshal Perera

For a vintage shop owner, fewer things are more exciting than seeing a beautiful bride, looking radiant in a dress she bought from your shop. The oh-so-lovely Hayley, who hails from Australia, bought the If Fates Allow wedding dress (https://www.etsy.com/transaction/92249749) from Dear Golden and dare I say it could not look more perfect on her, n'est pas?

A Tale of Woe

Here lies a once beautiful silk 1930s wedding gown, resplendent with silvery bugle beading and the most flattering of bias cut. But alas, she was fated to never grace another slender body again for she was fatally flawed. Plagued with the dreaded dyness so many vintage dresses suffer. But before she fell to pieces, she offered up this swan song, holding it together for her last grasp at glory only to shred along every seam immediately after. Once the dryness was detected I just started tearing and well, the effect was rather beautiful so I documented it. Sigh...at least I saved the beading and hope to use it again to embellish another dress.

Dear Golden Bridal ♥ no. 1

This year the Dear Golden Bridal collection will be the most fetching yet! The first wave has been photographed and edited and it will be trickling into the shop in the coming weeks. All the while I'll be photographing and editing the rest of the racks of pretty wedding dresses I have been saving for the weddings of 2013. Vive l'amour! 

What's in stock now? SHOP DEAR GOLDEN BRIDAL

peeks of lace

For the past week I have been busy taking photographs of all the vintage wedding dresses I've stockpiled - which takes a lot of time; delicate silks and laces, tiny snaps, rows of buttons and tufts of tulle require much attention. But the work is done & now I reveal to you just some pretty snippets of some of the dresses; there are over 50 now, so this isn't all of them, but I am guessing you get the picture. :)

I wonder sometimes if should I start an Etsy shop just for the bridal selections...
