how to syle my girls?

Hi Ladies! My wedding is 3 short months away and I am at loss as to how to style my Bridesmaids!  I am going for an old Hollywood Glamour themed wedding,  nothing crazy but I adore Pin-up, Vargas and go to Burlesque expos so i wanted that in there a little.  I think this is a wonderful feminine look and is complementary on pretty much everyone. As I wanted to make this as inexpensive for them as possible I had them order a DB dress they all loved and am paying for their makeup.  Hair is optional since I can not afford that many heads. The issue I have is that their dresses are IMO not very vintage looking: 

 What am I missing to complete this look?  My aunt mentioned hair flowers or broaches and a mini veil for my MOH but I have no idea how to go about this! Help!

  • I think broaches are definitely the type of glam youre looking for. Maybe a set of pearls?? Is this the color of your dress too?

  • I ordered a hair feather for my MOH.  It looked cute and to me looked a bit vintage.  You could also do colored birdcage veils for them.  That would look cute and vintage.  Also, the makeup can lend a vintage feel if done right.  
  • Maybe try looking at Pin up girl clothings website.  They have great style tips for their dresses

    :) Good luck!
  • Maybe some red pumps? Not to change your colors... but bold pumps can really give you that pin-up vibe. Maybe play with some different stockings? It could be really easy to look "un-classy" with certain stockings... but I think it could be possible to look really classy and fit with your theme if done right.
