Vintage Style Wedding Dress in Rome

Photography by Rosapaola Lucibelli Photographer

Catrin & Lucas's incredible 1960s themed city micro-wedding is giving us serious Audrey Hepburn vibes. This fabulous vintage style wedding dress was the perfect choice to match Catrin's personality, paired with silk bridal gloves, a retro hairstyle and orchid flower hoop for a truly classic look. What's more, every. Single. Photo looks like a still from a Hollywood film thanks to the amazing photography of Rosapaola Lucibelli! We're so pleased that these high school sweethearts found Rosapaola through our Recommended Suppliers platform, so they could completely trust that they would have their day, their way. Who wouldn't want to feel like a movie star for a day?

A 1960s vintage style wedding dress and ancient Roman venue for a modern city bride.

To get married is a once in lifetime event! Even though we were only four people, we wanted to have our special day well organised and beautiful. I wanted to have retro flavour of the 1960s blended with the ancient Roman atmosphere of Boscolo.

We found the photographer thanks to your vendors list, and decided to use all local vendors because we lived in Rome for our studies. Rome was also the city where Lucas proposed to me. From our invitations to our wedding dinner, everything was create exclusively for us. We loved sharing our vision with our suppliers. Maya of Missprint immeditately understood our needs and created the most beautiful stationery and favours for us and our guests. Our photographer Rosapaola was our perfect match because of her fun attitude and beautiful portfolio. Daniela at La Vie en Blanc Atelier had the perfect 60s vintage style wedding dress I wanted. Once she understood my vision she took care everything, choosing my elegant bridal shoes, gloves and hat with a veil. For our flowers, I loved the way Viviana took care of each detail. The asymmetrical wedding décor during the ceremony and the flowers on our dinner table were truly original.

CATRIN & LUCAS HAD SO MUCH FUN SHARING THEIR 1960S VISION WITH THEIR SUPPLIERS TO CREATE A TRULY BESPOKE WEDDING DAY.

There was no doubt that Catrin would be doing the twist 'n' shout in her vintage style wedding dress. It was important that the style she chose gave her the freedom to dance to her music of choice. Think Elvis Presley, Marvin Gaye and The Beatles, with a bit of Green Day mixed in for good measure.

There are so many takes on a vintage style wedding dress. For more gorgeous vintage style inspo check out Grace & Mat's nostalgic church ceremony, and Phoebe's unique silk bridal dress made by her mum paired with a family heirloom fur.
