THE SCARF VEIL MAKES A COMEBACK

 Today's chic started with a casual trend borrowed from the fifties glamorized by Audrey Hepburn—the scarf. As Audrey and fashion icons like Jackie Kennedy showed us, some women can make even a sporty scarf look elegant. I began incorporating them into my collection once I realized they looked hot with so many of the 1950s throwbacks I was creating. Keep in mind they do lend themselves well to quite a few styles. Be imaginative. You can tie a lace scarf like a bandana or go gypsy style with it. Experiment. Create your own look!
The shorter version above works with this more casual look. This is one of my ‘Marilyn’ dresses . . . My 1950s ‘Going Away’ bride is headed for a drive up the coast to that country inn in her crepe halter dress and silk chiffon scarf. A casual as well as elegant look.
Long Scarf-Pictured below: Considered more an option in head wear than veil depending on the length of chiffon or silk gauze used to create it. A 5-yard length wrapped around the head framing the face creates a long band of train that works as an extraordinary veil. Perfect for Mosque weddings.

Below: A 3-yard galloon/scarf of Chantilly lace makes the perfect 20s style cloche-cap style veil to pair up with a vintage lace gown.

COUNTRY CHIC

Spring and summer are ideal times for the quaint charm of a countryside wedding.  Here's  some  of the magic that happens when two devoted and passionate talents team up.  Photographer Diana Maire and Holly Sanneman of Diamantin Events had a vision of what the quintessential rural wedding would look like.  When Diana approached me because she thought  a couple of my dresses would fit well in this stylized shoot, we were thinking along the lines of Boho 50s with a little something else thrown into the mix.    Below you'll find  some truly awe-inspiring fashion, food and decor that come from the dedication of teamwork and talent.
