The lovely bride-to-be and Junebug reader Charisse emailed me for a little help finding inspiration for her somewhat unusual wedding theme. Charisse and her fiance love the calm and quiet of rainy days and are hoping to plan a rainy-day themed wedding (regardless of the day’s actual weather!) with a blue-gray color palette that includes some splashes of Charisse’s favorite color, red. “I don’t want it to be depressing or dreary but very calm with […]

Reader Inspiration Board- a Vintage Wedding in a Modern Loft Space
Last week I received an e-mail from Carmel, a bride in New Zealand planning a wedding with a theme I just couldn’t resist.

Jewelry and Accessories for a Vintage Inspired Chicago Wedding
Claire is a bride doing some rather long distance wedding planning (from Europe to Chicago!) and she wrote to Junebug looking for a little guidance on her accessory choices. “What color accessories should one wear with the popular champagne and gold dresses of the day? I am wearing a pale gold dress with a slightly vintage look and I am stumped on hair accessories and jewelry. I am always trapped between loving all that is […]

Last month I did a post on vintage wedding dresses, and got a great question from a reader asking how to find vintage wedding dresses that fit a modern body. I knew there had to be lots of solutions out there for lovers of vintage clothing, so I called in my resident vintage expert (and big sister) Chela to get some advice.

Wedding Dress Preservation
In chatting with my new friend Sally Jacobs, author of The Practical Archivist Blog, she brought up a great topic that often gets overlooked- wedding gown preservation. What in the world are we all supposed to do with that big beautiful dress once the wedding is over? How do we take care if it? Lucky for us all, Sally had these same questions after her own wedding and dug in deep to find out what […]
The Men’s Wear Wedding Dilemma
Last week I received an e-mail from Amy, a Seattle area bride, with this great question about men’s wear… “What is your opinion on what a groom should wear for an evening civil ceremony/reception at a hotel? Armani suit (should it be black?) or tux? I am wearing a floor length bias cut gown. Help!” Here are my thoughts on the topic.. For your groom’s attire during an evening civil ceremony, it really comes down […]
