We are still in a wedding frame of mind after the recent royal nuptials and bridal collections are popping up like spring flowers this time of year.
Chicago hairdresser and photographer Jean Sweet riffed on some retro themes for a new collection of bridal styles. Working with hair stylist Tracey Stokes and make-up artist Jessica Sawicki, Sweet and company created four looks for wedding day style.
A Fifties Romance style features short baby bangs combined with textured curls, a vintage veil and red lips,
A re-worked classic 1940s Veronica Lake style gets a modern gown, a pouf veil and dramatic eye make-up.
Skinny braids throughout long hair, complimented by waves, ruffles on the gown and a headband with ribbon streamers, updates Sixties Bohemian/Hippie chic.
An artful updo endures as a classic bridal style.
