Retro and Vintage Weddings

Need help with dress for Mobster themed wedding

We've picked the venue, I thought I had my dress until my darling other decided to make our wedding themed. We are getting married in Vegas, with a mobsters/rat pack theme seeing thats what Vegas is infamous for. Anyone out there in the Cali area know places that do 1940ish vintage looking dresses or does anyone know of any sites I could check out. Any help would be appreciated

Re: Need help with dress for Mobster themed wedding

  • Thank you very much for the responses. Um Im not sure what Im looking for yet. I have crohns disease so something with a higher waist and the skirt being loose around the stomach area. If it were a regular wedding dress, it would be like an empire look.  Mermaid dresses or anything form fitting is definiately out as well
  • Hmm, well if you could go for a slightly more fitted look (you wouldn't have to go tight) but any kind of ball gown (or tea length dress) with a tulle skirt will look vintage, it's a big 40s/50s look. You could just do an empire gown that has vintage detailing. I don't plan on necessarily buying from davids bridal, but their site has been a huge jumping off point for me to find dress styles I like and what I want and what works for me. This may sound super unhelpful, but you don't necessarily have to do a mobster look for you, because there isn't a highly recognizable mob bride look that I can think of. The only really "mob" thing I would see would be if you wore a pinstriped fedora! (Which actually might be cute) So those are my suggestions: either a retro style ballgown/tea length dress or an empire dress with vintage details OR whatever the hell you want. :)
