If you know Alex, then you know about her love of everything vintage, especially fashion. Her affinity for combining vintage bridal and current runway looks made us ponder the hypothetical question: "If Old Hollywood Starlets made a bridal appointment at Ava Clara, which gowns would they choose?" Since then, we have had so much fun recreating these images of Old Hollywood Starlets while modeling bridal gowns that are currently available in store:
This halterĀ EddyK Bridal style bares a striking resemblance to this dress worn by Old Hollywood Starlet, Rita Hayworth. Who knew that a high-neckline could be so sultry?!
From the looks of these photos, 1930’s screen siren Jean Harlow could be leaning on the front desk at Ava Clara in a bridal gown by designer Chic Nostalgia.
Romantic floral appliques are a major trend that is making a comeback. It’s not hard to see why when looking at this flashback of Elizabeth Taylor in a romantic floral-embellished ballgown next to our modern Justin Alexander Signature style.
Ooh la la Blue Willow Bride. These side by side photos of vixen Jayne Mansfield in her signature mermaid silhouette and our “Monroe” gown by Blue Willow by Anne Barge show why this is a style that is not going anywhere any time soon.
Although Stevie Nicks isn’t technically an “Old Hollywood” Starlet, this breezy photo of her dancing by the sea is a vintage bridal look that we love {We are located in CoVa after all}. We could definitely see this boho dream dress in the Willowby by Watters Bridal Collection.
Soft tulle is always in bridal style. We love how bridal designer Eddy K added a layer of tulle whimsy to this gorgeous lace gown. Just like Old Hollywood actress Olivia de Havilland, who can resist a fun pose in a tulle skirt?!
Schedule an appointment to try on these and other vintage-inspired bridal looks to feel like a glam starlet on your wedding day.
