Vintage Wedding by Justin and Mary, I

December 8th. 2009 by Abby Larson | Filed Under | 41 comments

I gave you a little sneak peek of this gorgeous wedding earlier today, but it’s time to get to the really good stuff. I first saw this wedding while shooting a From Inspiration to Reality feature with Justin and Mary Marantz. All of the vendors stood around the camera gushing and gushing and gushing about this stunning bride and her amazing sense of style. I basically begged to feature it on SMP and I am so happy that we finally get to do just that!

From Justin and Mary

The wedding was actually in Romance, WV! I know….it doesn’t get any better than that. The theme was an Audrey Hepburn/Going to the Chapel type of wedding. Rachel’s dress looked entirely different when she bought it, and she had a tailor chop about four feet off of it, take it apart and put it all back together again to make it the incredible tea length one she ended up with!

Rachel actually wore two pairs of shoes that day: some insanely fierce vintage Christian Louboutins for the ceremony and some sassy red Kate Spade’s for the reception. The jewelry for the whole shebang was from Tiffany’s. Terry also sent over a HUGE Tiffany’s amethyst ring that morning for Rachel to wear as her something new. Terry’s band had to be specially made for him because he broke his knuckle when he was younger. So they came up with this James Bond worthy hinge ring with a secret release. It’s the only one like it in the world and had to be rushed in the day before the wedding!

    ok so I need to know where on earth they found a hinge ring for the groom? I think that may be one of the only ways I can get my new husband to wear a ring for many years to come!

  10. Heather says:

    Hope her heels aren't scratching those piano keys - if that's a nine-foot Steinway, it's probably worth over $80,000!

    I have the same Kate Spade shoes except mine are peep toes and I scored them at MARSHALLS on Boylston Street in Boston. I love the shoes but I love the price I paid even more for a genuine pair of Kate Spade shoes ($129).

    If Enterprise is afoot, wealth accumulates whatever may be happening to Thrift; and if Enterprise is asleep, wealth decays, whatever Thrift may be doing.

    It is the tears of the earth that keep her smiles in bloom.

    In this world there is always danger for those who are afraid of it.

  36. Wow. Those are so incredible shots. I particularly like the first of the girl on the piano. Then angles, the lighting, the positioning. Everything is done to perfection.

  37. Great Clicks as well as nice poses!

  38. Good wedding shots...

  39. Very retro and classic look. Pearls are always a stylish but a glass necklace could have added some extra pizazz. We have created many bridal sets with great success ...
