A friend who was experiencing some problems with her marriage once exclaimed to me, “Next time, I’m going to choose my mother-in-law and then fall in love with her son!” Now I don’t have plans to get married any time soon, but it seems to me, it might also be good advice to “Choose your wedding dress and then decide who you’ll marry.” I admit it’s a sort of “build it and he will come” philosophy–maybe a little New Age-y for some. But when you think of your perfect wedding (be honest!) doesn’t it include both the perfect man AND the perfect dress? And since the perfect dress seems easier to find, why not start there?
Today’s VPOD for instance. What bride wouldn’t feel like a princess walking the aisle in this 1960s dress designed by Manuel Pertegaz? Who?!? Just one of the three major names in Spanish couture (right next to Christobal Balenciaga and Pedro Rodriguez).
This strapless stunner is couture quality (at a mere fraction of the cost!) Silk shantung with a ruffled edge, it’s simple, sophisticated and oh-so-chic.
It’s a dream wedding dress for a vintage fashionista!
Available at Vintage Textile.
