As Seen In: Connecticut Bride, Styled 1920's Shoot

 Our inspiration for fashion was dramatic and moody, to compliment the classic city venue filled with dark woods and rich tones. The Society Room had a past life as a bank, so that grand feel of an era gone by still runs throughout.  We enjoyed using both old and new pieces when styling this shoot.  We incorporated vintage inspired pieces from  Maria Elena and from The Wedding Dresser.  We were also lent a selection of period accessories from The Something Old Collection, which couldnât have been more perfect to compliment the looks. The piece de resistance was a vintage dress straight from the 1920â²s, borrowed from Tovaâs Vintage Shop . The gowns used in the shoot were from  Amy Kuschel and Rivini and bridesmaid styles from Donna Morgan, including a forest green velvet style that we just adored. But the show could not have gone on without the suits and tuxes lent to us by our stylish friend, Enzo Valentino,  of Valentino Tailors- the morning suit and ascot could not have been more period appropriate. In addition, we just love the swoon worthy boudoir photos at the end of this spread- provided and styled by Josie of Beneath the Gown. We hope you enjoy the images so much that you run out and scoop up a copy of Connecticut Bride!
