			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every once in a while we love to find things that are pretty and want to share with all. The softness to this Vintage look is so inviting and so romantic. This is from one of our favorite Blogs on the West Coast <a href="http://pacificweddings.com/" target="_blank">Pacific Weddings</a>&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8220;We receive lots of interesting press releases and pitches, so I don’t know how I overlooked the beautiful work of Myra Callan, but I am happy to share her lovely new pieces. Ethereal and playful, a touch vintage and at once modern—this collection of hair pieces and embellishments is just so pretty! Visit Myra’s blog for even more wedding and bridesmaid inspiration!&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Alisa Benay</strong> is a gifted designer of vintage inspired wedding gowns. We found <a href="http://alisabenay.com/blog/" target="_blank">her blog</a> complete with beautiful, close-up images of her most recent gowns. Several are featured below.</p>
<p>Alisa incorporates her fascination with vintage clothing as inspiration for her couture gowns. She combs the marketplace to enhance her bridal gowns, creating the most unique and romantic designs possible with custom made European trims and laces. Alisa also designs matching heirloom veils and jewelry to complete the vintage inspired ensemble.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.strictlyweddings.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Daphne.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3277" title="Daphne-Alisa-Benay-Bridal-Couture" src="http://www.strictlyweddings.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Daphne.jpg" alt="Daphne-Alisa-Benay-Bridal-Couture" width="590" height="437" /></a></p>
<p>DAPHNE, above, is a soft, subtle mix of luxurious silk velvet and French alencon lace. With peek-a-boo silhouette details at the bustier and hem.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.strictlyweddings.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Iris-back.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3278" title="Alisa Benay Bridal Couture - Iris" src="http://www.strictlyweddings.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Iris-back.jpg" alt="Alisa Benay Bridal Couture - Iris" width="590" height="439" /></a></p>
<p>IRIS, above and detailed below, is one of her newer gowns. The exposed corset laces up the back, but her secret trick to making the wedding day much more stress free is that her corseted gowns have a side zip access.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.strictlyweddings.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/iris-detail1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3288" title="iris-detail" src="http://www.strictlyweddings.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/iris-detail1.jpg" alt="" width="467" height="435" /></a></p>
<p>We love this idea. Alisa Benay introduced a new collection in 2010, <a href="http://www.alisabenay.com" target="_blank">BeLoved by Alisa Benay</a>. <strong>BeLoved</strong> is a collection for the bride who wants beauty, grace, and style for a moderate price. The BeLoved collection has the option of letting the bride build her own dress! The bride chooses a top design, adds her favorite skirt design, and fabric. Then add custom options such as straps, sashes, or flowers.  Shown below is Francine, on of Alisa&#8217;s favorites from the collection. A V-neck silk shantung mermaid gown with a rouched midriff and dramatic chapel length hem.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wedding invitations these days are becoming more unique and more creative than ever before. Brides are no longer limited to paper choices for their invites and save the dates, they can choose from an array of different mediums, including vintage textiles.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.strictlyweddings.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Handkerchief-Invites.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3170" title="Handkerchief-Invites" src="http://www.strictlyweddings.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Handkerchief-Invites.jpg" alt="" width="499" height="840" /></a></p>
<p>In this wedding project from <a href="http://www.birdandbanner.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Bird and Banner</strong></a>, each invitation was screen printed on a one-of-a-kind vintage handkerchief, including a few handkerchiefs from the family&#8217;s personal collection. As an added personal touch, many of the male guests arrived at the wedding wearing their &#8220;invitations&#8221; as pocket squares!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.strictlyweddings.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Save-the-Date.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3171" title="Save-the-Date" src="http://www.strictlyweddings.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Save-the-Date.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="1082" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Vintage handkerchief wedding save the dates from Lucky Luxe</strong></p>
<p>These save the dates from <a href="http://www.lucky-luxe.com/" target="_blank">Lucky Luxe</a>, made for photographer Alisha Clark&#8217;s wedding, are another great way to incorporate a unique vintage flair into your wedding. Mixing and matching vintage hankies instead of new ones ensures that every guest will get something unique in the mail.</p>
