Bridal inspiration from 1950s Musicals


Leslie Caron in a dress by Cecil Beaton



Such a sumptuous movie



Feathered bird detail on shoulders

There's nothing like the glamour from an old musical. The top three images are from the 1958 musical Gigi which is a gorgeous feast for the eyes.
I saw this movie again recently and was struck by how modern Leslie Carons' final gown with the black bird detailing now looks.
It would make a truly dramatic wedding gown!

The shoes are actually modern (and expensive!) but divine, very Marie Antoinette. I can just imagine these teamed with a short prom dress. Very quirky and fun. Any dress would have to secondary to these beauties!
