New Arrivals: Spring Blouses

Though I am aware that it is still freezing, literally, in most parts these days, it has been in the 70's here in California, so I'm introducing an early Spring to the shop.  I find that light colors and styles are hopeful to look at on dreary days, and at this point, as a shopper,  I would rather put my dollars toward something I can layer now and wear through the fall, than something I can only wear for another month or so.  Here's to hoping the groundhog doesn't see his shadow this year!

A Dreamy Vintage Wedding in Venice

When I package up a wedding dress and send it off, I feel so excited and I dream of the pretty lady that will be wearing it on her special day.  Though never in my dreams have I imagined a bride looking this beautiful and the backdrop of her wedding being more romantic.  An outdoor wedding in Venice...amazing!!!  She wore a lovely bolero and sash over the dress which I think dressed it up a bit for the ceremony, then later you can see the lace sleeves which are also very sweet.  After the wedding Sarah sent me these photos with a wonderful email, her words:

"Thanks very much Beth!
It turned out to be a truly magical wedding. I felt beautiful in my vintage dress! The guys walked through the streets of Venice and the girls arrived by boat to meet at the Campo de L'Abazia. The ceremony was simple, followed by photographs and champagne. Then we found ourselves part of an impromptu parade as we walked from the Campo to the dinner venue, with well wishes from strangers speaking italian and everyone clapping!!!"

I am so thrilled that Salvage Life was a part of Sarah's fabulous wedding and I wish her the most wonderful life with her new husband!

It's a Beautiful Day...

Another kind customer sent these photos of her wedding day in South Africa.  Magdelena looks beautiful in her 1960's wedding dress with all over tiny pin tucks and crocheted lace. Her floral wreath headpiece is really great too!  Selling wedding dresses brings me a unique joy.  I love that I was able to provide the MOST important thing on someone's wedding day...no seriously, what you wear on your wedding day is very important.  It is so neat that modern brides want to wear something with history for their special day.  Not to mention, it is ridiculously cheaper to buy a vintage wedding dress! 

I just added two Gunne Sax wedding dresses to the shop and I have a beautiful wedding dress from 1915 and a long tulle wedding gown from the 1950's coming soon!

 

Sneak preview of new items coming to the shop

 I have so much new inventory coming to the shop, here is a sneak preview of some of the vintage dresses I bought last week.  I took these photos at night, so they are a bit dim, but you should still be able to tell how great they are!
