Recently, I've taken an interest in the vintage wedding theme. It was partly inspired by the lovely antique feel of Cafe Ysabel and the way I've always loved the architecture of Cafe Ysabel with its lace-like woodwork. Vier asked Gene when the house was built and he said: 1927. Wow! I researched on the period and I got so excited. The music of the time was Dixieland Jazz! The reigning artists were Louie Armstrong, Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and Duke Ellington. The craze was Art Deco and the inspiration of the decade was Paris. Just perfect. Of course I won't go as far as having my bridesmaids wear flapper dresses. I'm not sure if women in the Philippines ever took to that fashion mode, anyway. My wedding dress will still have lace (which was still a popular material all the way to the 1930's). I'm so excited. :)
