Vintage brides at Zoe Lem's Vintage Wedding Fair

“Your wedding day is one of the biggest days of your life but many of us girls nowadays are so independent, career focused and have such high standards that we wait a little longer before deciding to get married. Our wedding day is therefore much more about maintaining our personality and creating a day that represents who we are in a silhouette that feels natural to our own style.”
