I love the idea of traveling. I’m the type of person who dresses up for a flight – because you just never know what might happen. I have visions of movie producers whisking me away (“you’re just perfect for the role”) and spur-of-the-moment upgrades. To first class. Unfortunately, the reality of traveling pretty much lets…

Tuesday Shoesday: Customised Kate Spade Gorgeousness
For the uninitiated, Tuesday Shoesday is a lovely tradition amongst fashion and bridal bloggers to highlight gorgeous shoes on a weekly basis. How can you argue with that? I decided to jump on the bandwagon here on the Victoria Mary Vintage blog as I had such a hard time finding the right wedding shoes to…
Budget Monday: Damsel in a Dress
Monday morning: time to get the calculator out. Add up the receipts, count up the change hiding at the bottom of your bag. Now work out what’s left. Not much? Not to worry, I’ve found you the most stunning Hollywood glam wedding gown that is not going to break the bank. Enter stage left: Kate…
Friday Indulgence @ Saks
OK, so this post does not strictly adhere to the letter of Friday Indulgence, which is that the dress MUST be massively expensive. However, I feel that it does adhere to the spirit of Friday Indulgence, in that the dresses are all from Saks (which is a fab shopping experience if you’re in NYC) and…
Gorgeous Free Designs For Vintage Wedding Invites

Handmade Vintage Style Bridal Purses
I’ve always felt purses are the one over-looked accessory in the bridal market.

I ended up making my own purse (and adore it…watch this space for a tutorial!), but for…

As I tuck in to my Nutella on toast for breakfast (Monday mornings call for a bit of a treat, no?), I’ve found you some gorgeous, vintage-style shoes that won’t break the bank…
Fear Not: Why a Rainy Wedding Day Is Really a Blessing
Today’s Sunday post goes out to all the brides and bridettes who have either just had a rather wet wedding or are starting to get a bit more concerned about it as the English summer kicks into Autumn at the end of June. Listen very carefully, I will say this only once (*said in a…
Friday Indulgence – A Big, Floaty Dress @ Christos
I recently came across the wedding dress designer Christos while trawling the time-sucking web, and boy am I in love. Writing this blog seems to be a neverending “if only I could get married again” but yes, if i could get married again, I think I might wear this dress: a big-skirted, floaty organza dress called…
