A 1960's Vintage Wedding
We're a fun bunch of shop owners and every now and then we like to play little games. We thought we put together a bunch of items that would be used at or after a 1960's vintage wedding, entirely out of our members shops. Some of the items on the list are a little tongue-in-cheek, and all are fun... I've broken it up into 3 categories: The Wedding Party, The Wedding Guests, The Honeymoon and a surprise category at the very end. Here's what was offered up...
A 1960's Vintage Wedding
The Wedding Party
1960's Pink Chiffon Maid of Honor Dress with Jacket Offered by GlamourGirlsLingerie
Vintage 1950s 60s Wedding Cake Party Dress, Sz S, M Offered by FireflyVintage
Vintage 70s Maternity Dress or Blouse Sewing Pattern, Simplicity, 6050 Offered by OldFashionNotions
The Wedding Guests
The Honeymoon (and after...)
Happily...?
And last but not least a little something extra. A tongue-in-cheek tribute to married life by one of our members with a wicked sense of humor, who shall remain nameless, but her interview can be found by following this link: Meet Rita of Firefly Vintage and amended slightly by yours truly.
I've included her entry along with her contributions, for your entertainment: "Ok, because I am a major cynic when it comes to love and marriage, I'm using a theme: from wedding day, to maternity wear, to waiting for the whole thing to end..."

So many wonderful vintage items, if this is your first piece of vintage your in for such a delicious surprise! I have collected "everything vintage" all my life.
ReplyDeleteIf you hold "value" in what you spend your hard earned money on then vintage is for you, hands down. Why you may ask? Vintage goods are top quality, often manufactured to last a lifetime.
As a collector I truly appreciate the love and pride previous owners took in caring for their items and with great pride offer these beautiful and rare items at my shop on Etsy.
Please stop by and have a look, mention Vintage Lingerie Love in your email to me and receive an instant 10% off discount on the items featured here and storewide ;o)

What a great idea! That's a nice discount. I can relate to what you have written about quality. Some of the vintage fabrics are OUTSTANDING and not made anymore. It is very true. Thanks for your comment!

You have some wonderful items in there. How about that maid of honor dress? Well, actually it's just a fabulous party dress, that could be a maid of honor dress. It would make a kick-butt prom dress. Beautiful. Just love it. And thanks for your kind words. We have the nicest people on this team... sigh... Oh.. and I'm glad you like the ending. It is hilarious!

What a fun and creative theme--all thanks to you Kathy for that! Our members do have some gorgeous items, and I also love the aqua duster set!
ReplyDeleteAs sellers on this team, we all so enjoy finding and curating wonderful vintage items to offer in our shops. It is a delight to find a treasure and make it available to so many, and we all get to see and appreciate the gorgeous garments from years past. As Miss Susanne so well stated, they hold the test of time, due to design and quality. One of the additional pleasures is getting to see what our members have discovered and now have in their own shops--it is fantastic that we have such a supportive community! Great job everyone!
Thanks, Valerie! This team IS great. (: Talking about supportive people, you are one of the most suportive! You always know exactly the right thing to say...
