Hair Wave

Sleek and wavy, with a hint of retro, this is a great hairstyle for a formal wedding.

Bag it: A 60s Dinner Party

I absolutely adore the structured look of boxy bags, 60s inspired and uber feminine.

Dress it ... bride: A 60s Dinner Party #2

Tea length dresses are so wonderfully chic, and a great reason for getting pretty pumps and heels. A great style to wear for cocktails before the big dinner reception.

Style Board: Swing with the Sixties

The swinging 60s! Saying it out just makes me want to hit the jukebox and dance to a tune. Think of the local diner, ladies in pretty frocks with the perfectly groomed hair, men in the rolled up sleeved shirts and their well slicked hair, hearty breakfast of bacon, eggs and sausages finished with frothy glass of milkshake. A wonderful brunch reception after your ceremony.
