Look Darling! Vintage styled 50s wedding dresses to order at Miss Vintage Wedding Afffair!

Look Darling is a amazing company with expertise in new vintage styled tea-length gowns and gorgeous vintage accessories. Look Darling  is the one-stop online boutique for brides-to-be looking for a fun, elegant and unashamedly feminine vintage wedding style. 

Founded by Emma Lester in 2011, Look Darling was inspired by Emma’s search for an original 50s-style dress to wear to her own wedding. Frustrated by an inability to fit into the tiny vintage sizes, a problem many modern brides face and not wanting the expense of having a gown custom-made.

Bringing together the best in high-end vintage-inspired styles, Look Darling offers affordable tea-length wedding dresses from key designers, including top US brands Dolly Couture and Fancy New York. Prices start from £295; dresses are available in a range of colours and fabrics. Full-skirted 50s silhouettes are a key bridal trend for 2012, while shorter tea- and cocktail-lengths offer modern brides a refreshing alternative to the traditional wedding gown for contemporary celebrations and settings.

To complete the look, beautiful handmade veils and retro headpieces are also available, alongside the gorgeous wedding shoe collection from British designer Rachel Simpson.

Based in Meols, on the Wirral, in her home studio, Emma is now taking appointments on a pre-arranged basis. However Emma is making a special trip to Surrey with her dresses, so you will be able to try on her dresses and order on the day of the fair in february.
