A Vintage City Hall Wedding

If you’ve been reading Once Wed for a while you probably already know I have a soft spot for small and intimate weddings, so it should come as no surprise I instantly fell head over heels in love for Kelly and Cameron’s city hall wedding in Salt Lake City…

As far as a story or anything about the day we kind of just wanted to do it our own way. The style was something I got from the building, as well as my own love of vintage. I went with the art deco/30′s style. I love old Hollywood so I took a lot of time putting my dress/his attire together. I wanted it to be classy and glamorous!

The bride reminds me of Marilyn Monroe. Her beauty is somewhat vintage too.

Hey guys! I’m so glad you all liked my vintage wedding! To answer some of your questions about where I purchased my dress, jewelry, etc. I will have to say that I was on a tight budget. I got my dress at BCBG Outlet in Park City, UT. It’s a really good place for formal but not too formal dresses for very reasonable prices. The rabbit fur coat was bought years ago at a local thrift store, and the jewelry (except the ring, of course) I got at Forever 21 if you can believe that! It took lots of searching but if you take the time you can find really cool stuff on a budget.

They are both SO cute! I love the simplicity, and I especially love the genuineness of the photos. They are not cheesy whatsoever, which is an issue I have with a lot of wedding photography!
