It's easy to ooze style and sophistication with some sixties glamour on your wedding day.
Catherine certainly knew what she was doing when she sewed her very own 60s bubble hem gown, photo by Goudey Photography. Take a stunning ivory sleeveless silk-blend chiffon dress with gold embroidery by Jason Wu. Add a simple pearl necklace and some fabulous Vivienne Westwood Anglomania Lady Dragon Heart Pumps.
Or try a gorgeous cream and white flocked voile dress with some little lace gloves and a dash of Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pure Shine Sheer Lipstick.
The 1960s was a time of change in culture, art, music and of course fashion. For this reason there is quite a difference from the nipped in waist styles of the early sixties to the mini at the end of the decade, so plenty of choice if you're looking for that vintage or 1960s inspired wedding dress.
The tight girdles of the 1950s were discarded and the A-line came into fashion with three quarter length sleeves and little gloves. As the hippie movement evolved so did a style totally different from the constrained strict fashions of the 50s. The empire line and baby doll styles hiding a womans figure. Long natural hair, the maxi and the mini.

Adding props to your engagement shoot is a great way to bring photos to life with a theme or mood. A brilliant way to set the scene for a Mad Men 60s wedding is with an old typewriter. Here is an incredibly cute engagement session by And Unlimited Photography in Maine, America. There are lots of great photo ideas - typing out your name and wedding date would make a great shot for save the date cards, and we just love the engagement ring sitting on the old typewriter keys.
Sultry glamour in a white silk taffeta bodice with floral embroidered tulle skirt by Oscar de la Renta, via Brides. Hunt down an old typewriter, like this retro Remington, for a groovy guest book. Short dresses are all rage so make sure your shoes pop like these gorgeous red love hearts by Vivienne Westwood, photo by Stephanie Williams Photography. And don't forget to get your old records out for a touch of rock and roll!
We just couldn't resist designing a new fingerprint guest book tree, they have proved so popular and are just the cutest wedding idea!
If you've not seen a fingerprint or thumbprint guestbook tree before the idea is rather than guests signing a traditional book they leave a fingerprint to act as a leaf on the tree. Guests can still sign as well if you like and it looks beautiful hanging on your wall after the wedding.
Simply have different shaded ink pads available on the day for guests to leave their print - and something so they can clean up :)
Available in a range of sizes so you can take to your local print shop for a quick and easy poster.
