In 1944 Vincente Minnelli debuted Meet Me in St. Louis, a charming turn of the century spectacle of ruffles, lace, wistfulness, opulence, hope, marriage, love and family. This enchanting gem of a musical sweeps you away from modern life, to revel in a ruffled fantasy of beautiful, simpler times. At the heart of the movie pulses the promise of the upcoming 1904 St. Louis World's Fair, which was an elaborate, utopian celebration of a glorious past and a hopeful glimpse into the
possibilities of the future. Just like a wedding...
While gathering images for this style board, I discovered the magical, "intensely feminine" clothing line of Australian fashion designer Alannah Hill. Her romantic sensibility was the perfect bridge between the literal translation of the 1900's inspired movie costumes, and modern-day fashion. I am enamored with her designs and encourage you to take a peek at her amazing work for more wedding inspiration!

There is something simultaneously crisp and soothing about navy blue. It is a steadfast symbol of stability and has always been synonymous with classic, preppy inspired fashion and decor. But the pairing of muted lavender and warm beige with navy blue will add a breath of fresh air and a cheerful, vintage twist to your wedding garden party.
