One of the big pieces of wedding news this week is the upcoming auction of Elizabeth Taylor's first wedding dress. The gown, designed by Helen Rose and worn for her wedding to Conrad "Nicky" Hilton Jr., is expected to fetch between £30,000 and £50,000 (roughly between $47,000 and $78,000).
While Taylor's tiny-waisted satin gown might not be for every bride, the style of the actress' first wedding is great inspiration for a 1950s style vintage wedding. The Hollywood glamour of her wedding is something that works great as an alternative to the 1920s or 1940s style vintage weddings.
To achieve the 1950s glamour style, looking at celebrity wedding photos is a great place to start. Make sure you choose a fabulous venue and decorate it with plenty of sparkle.
For a retro 1950s look, consider things like bright candy colors for your wedding palette. Use the post-war boom as your inspiration, and bring in all the smooth modern lines that defined the era.
Whatever the theme, you'll need to be prepared for your planning. To get great tips for wedding planning and find out about what you need to do for the perfect nuptials, check out your local Bridal Workbook!
