And the image below is real vintage bride Leah, who chose this stunning 1930s capelet with her 1930s lace dress. You can see a full feature on Leah’s wedding here.
Finally, I’ve worked hard to create the ultimate solution: a cover-up to complement almost any vintage wedding dress. From my own Heavenly Collection, here is the Colette bolero in delicate lace, created to prettily cover any exposed skin…
Colette is shown here in French lace with a guipure lace trim. It can be ordered in a range of different laces, to ensure it’s the perfect complement to any vintage dress.
So whether you’re adding a layer to create very different looks for day and night, or simply looking for a little more coverage, do consider what a cover-up has to offer. Just contact me if you’d like to know more or to see any of these gorgeous pieces.
