Vintage-Inspired Wedding Dresses from Raylia
Thursday, July 30th, 2009
Raylia Designs first came to my attention when I spotted this gorgeous vintage-inspired, tea-colored dress featured at Syle Chic (see photo above). I haven’t seen a dress with such vintage-style elegance; the beadwork is intricate without being tacky, and the unusual color of the dress just adds to its old-fashioned charm. According to the girl who rocked the dress on her wedding, Raylia no longer carries this particular style. But when I checked out the website, I was able to spot several wedding dresses with the same delicate beadwork, appliques, and nostalgic feel. Here they are:
This gorgeous lace and tulle a-line gown is perhaps the closest in terms of beadwork and color to the wedding dress that first got my attention. Only difference is that instead of a sweetheart neckline, this dress has a v-neckline and tank-style straps. I’m totally loving the beaded broach right in the middle of the bust, and I would definitely wear a dress like this to my hypothetical wedding (if not this very dress).
