VINTAGE WEDDINGS takes a close look at the key periods, diverse styles, iconoclastic designers, significant ceremonies and cultural influences in wedding fashions. Organised chronologically, this book shows the reader how to recognize the silhouette that will best suit their body shape, identify luxurious fabrics, contrast various styles, and to source appropriate accessories, from gloves and shoes to flowers, veils, jewellery and table decorations. Throughout the book, individual pieces that epitomize the defining characteristic of each designer or decade are analysed in detail. Traditionally the wedding dress is the most expensive garment that a woman will ever buy. Increasingly, however, prospective brides are looking for something other than the customary costly and formulaic gown. This has given rise an increasing demand for vintage wedding gowns; one that both expresses a personal style and also provides a narrative. A vintage wedding dress can provide the theme and style of the entire celebration. A dress of frills and lace, indicative of the Edwardian era, may be the inspiration for a summer picnic with men in blazers and boaters and women wielding parasols, while afternoon tea served in Art Deco china to the sound of a jazz band may provide the perfect background for a floral printed tea-dress from the 1930s. This book is for those interested in collecting a acquiring all aspects of authentic vintage pieces relating to the wedding ceremony, and also for prospective brides who are buying new, but are looking for sources of inspiration.

It’s going to be the wedding of the century… or a complete disaster. Arcadia Shabeaux never imagined she’d be walking down the aisle—especially not in a dress that’s been let out, taken in, and stitched together more times than she can count. But she’s determined to make it work, even if the road to wedded bliss has been paved with cake catastrophes, camo-themed disasters, and one too many bottles of Aunt Mavis’s homemade moonshine punch. With just days to go before she says “I do” to her Strippendale groom, Cyrus, Arcadia finds herself drowning in a sea of wedding mishaps and family antics. From the fight over camo decorations to her ex-boyfriend-turned-friend Armand showing up with a swamp buggy for a bridal ride, it’s a miracle she hasn’t lost her mind—or her dress. And just when she thinks things can’t get any wilder, Aunt Mavis decides to give a Maid of Honor speech that no one will ever forget. But despite all the chaos, there’s love in the air, and Arcadia can’t help but feel that this crazy, mismatched wedding is exactly the kind of happily ever after she was meant for. After all, it wouldn’t be a Shabeaux affair without a little bit of mayhem, a whole lot of love, and some Southern flair to tie it all together. Will Arcadia make it to the altar in one piece? Or will the most unpredictable wedding in Lake Dennis history prove to be too much, even for her? Full of humor, heart, and a touch of Southern charm, A Shabby Wedding is a delightful, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy about family, friendship, and finding joy in the messiest of moments.
