Another accessory on which you can rely to balance the vintage-modern harmony, it may be the shrug, perfect to be worn in a religious ceremony. It May be different from the wedding dress both in style and fabric, depending on the season. In the in the picture above, Luisa wears a lace and tulle fifties wedding dress, It is early April, in the countryside; we chose an angora shrug in the same white hues of the lace.
Last but not least, the wedding accessory par excellence: The veil. Timeless, always in fashion It has origins that date back to ancient Romans, flame-colored, it was called the flammeum. The veil adds a touch of classic romance and can make any gown a wedding gown. You can really indulge in finding the appropriate veil to your wedding dress. Mixing a vintage wedding dress and new veil, cathedral length veil or a short veil it is up to you, wearing vintage and new separates in a way that is both very modern and entirely unique, like Karoline from Oslo, she wore a “fabulous twenties” silk satin wedding gown pairing it with to a long and dramatic veil, all-essential and brand-new.
