Vintage chic theme for beauty queen Dindi Gallardo’s wedding in New York
Former actress and beauty queen, now US-based Dindi Gallardo is one of those women I admire for her sheer pulchritude. There’s something about her that spells old-world glamor, the kind that reminds me of Hollywood.
Dindi got married in New York City last month to her long-time friend Eric Mills and the wedding reminded me of an old Hollywood picture indeed. It looked like time stood still and all you can see were these two people in love. I found the vintage chic theme so beautiful, the glowing bride and groom played the role so effortlessly and well.
(Thanks to Mrs. Dindi Gallardo-Mills for the pictures!)
” I never thought a wedding could be so easy, stress-free and extremely affordable! Everything was certainly made out of love… Eric and I wanted a very simple & intimate wedding ceremony — no big production, no bridezillas and nothing outside our budget. We got what we wanted and so much more, ” the radiant bride intimated.
In classic New York fashion, there were just a couple of friends who witnessed their exchange of vows at the city clerk’s office, followed by a simple reception and a visit to Chinatown. The bride accented her long legs by wearing a vintage-style mini dress which she bought on sale for $45 and topped her look with a 1940s birdcage veil found in a vintage shop for $25. The vintage purse she carried around was purchased on Etsy and she made her own $6 baby’s breath bouquet. Their wedding rings were bought online from Bario-Neal which offers jewelry handcrafted in Philadelphia. They didn’t hire a photographer as well and just relied on their cameras.
We liked the little touches like this “Got Hitched” sign posted on the groom’s bike.
From the looks of it, the wedding came so beautifully. It proves to us once again that when it comes to your special day, it’s not really all about the costly fireworks but the L-O-V-E. Our congratulations from miles away, Eric & Dindi!
