The 1920s was the decade in which fashion entered the modern era.  Cultural changes after the end of WWI were immense and young women of the roaring twenties began to reject traditional and conservative styles.  Fashion in the 1920s became a symbol of everything new and modernistic.  More and more brides are opting to wear a vintage style wedding dress in no small part because the styling of bygone years is so flattering of female curves.

Lindsay Fleming Couture have taken the thrilling, care-free period of the twenties as their inspiration for a range of vintage inspired wedding dresses.  Mark was asked to photograph some of their 1920s wedding dresses and yesterday a team comprising of Lindsay Fleming, Made-up and Mark all met at the spectacular Dome in Edinburgh.

Sharon and Monica, the team from Made-up did a fantastic job of creating an authentic vintage look for the models.  The girls from Made-up are available for weddings and work together to create a beautiful bridal looks.

The Dome is a stunning venue located in the heart of Edinburgh’s New Town full of fantastic period features.  Available for weddings and civil partnerships, the building is breathtaking on entering with twin staircases, gilded balustrades, marble columns, stained glass windows and a vintage cocktail bar with coffered central dome.

Here’s a sneak peek from the shoot …. much more to come later.  Let us know what you think.
