30's WEDDING (part I) : at church!

So we will come back more than one month ago...


During our US vacations!
 
 
I'm so busy lately that I had no time to make this post before.
 
 
 
So many good pictures to share....
 
 
These ones were taken at our friends Ashley & Rob's wedding.
 
 
It was a 30's garden party wedding!
 
 
I will have to make 2 posts because I could not get ride of a lot of good pictures!!!
 
 
The ceremony took place in an amazing church.
 
 
Just on the top of a hill at Glendale Forest Lawn Memorial Park.
 
 
It's a huge cemetery and probably the biggest green area in L.A.
 
 
A lot of Hollywood stars of the Golden age are burried there: Clark Gable, Mary Pickford, James Stewart, Carole Lombard, Jean Harlow, Humphrey Bogart, Erol Flynn, Walt Disney....
 
 
The weather for this wedding day was PERFECT!!!
 
 
Everyone were so well dressed!!!
 
 
We were really lucky to be able to attend 2 vintage weddings in the same trip!
 
 
Sylvain was wearing a early 20's suit and boater.
 
 
I was wearing a 40's pink dress...
 
 
with a 40's asymetrical black jacket!
 
 
I was supposed to wear a small black purse but found this lucite handbag just the day before the wedding!!!!
 
 
Familly and friends were wearing vintage!
 
 
And here is the BEAUTIFUL 30's bride!!!!
 
 
This church made me think to England...
 
 
Even babies were vintage style dressed!!!!!
 
 
Bridesmaids and Groomsmen were terrific!
 
 
So different from french weddings...
 
 
But it was not an usual one for sure!!!
 
 
The bride's dress was purchased on Ebay for a few bucks...
 
 
And it was time to head to the reception's place...
 
 
Why not in the rumble seat of our friend's car???
 
 
That's a Packard from 1937.
 
 
The just married couple was in another Packard from the 30's.
 
 
That was a fun, fun day!!!!
 
 
Reception will be for a next post!
 
Do you know Glendale Forest Lawn Memorial Park?
Isn't the bride gorgeous?

40's MEXICAN jacket

Here are some more pictures of last week-end...

 
My brother in law was visited us so you will be able to see us together!

 
I must tell you that I found during our US trip another thing that I was looking for ages!

 
A 40's mexican jacket!!!

 
Most of the time this kind of jackets are small size and full of holes.

 
I found it in the same shop than THIS dress in Hollywood...

 
These jackets were hand made in Mexico for tourists.
 
 
Did you see Janey's recent post about them?

 
My hubby had one of his classic outfits!
 
 
Early 50's sport jacket...
 
 
 
Felt hat...
 
 
50's high waisted flecked pants...
 
 
an AMAZING new 40's tie and...
 
 
his grand-father shoes!!!
 
 
Not in pristine condition but a familly treasure!
 
 
That was not easy to find perfectly matching accessories with this colorfull jacket...
 
 
Not sure if I didn't choose too much things and colors.. perhaps this scarf was too much?
 
 
This sweater is vintage of the 50's, so delicate!
 
 
Do you remember that purse bought just after our vacations?


 
This 40's beret was find last week in a flea market.
 
 
And look at the beautiful label inside!!!! 

 
My winter MISS L FIRE embroidered boots matched well...

 
Do you like simple outfits posts ?
Do you own one of these nice jackets ?
