A 1930s garden party that you won’t believe took place in 2013

Ashley and Robert had that idea that they'd plan an authentic 1930s-styled garden party. The nail's head was hit so hard, the nail died. The affair was held at a 1907 Tudor mansion in Highland Park, CA, with a 1935 Packard sedan to deliver the bride. The groom and groomsmen wore 1930s-era morning attire with top hats, while the bridesmaids were clad in couture organza gowns created by Ashley's good friend and bridesmaid, Theresa Laquey. The bride's out-of-this-universe dress is actual 1930s vintage from eBay. To top it all off, the catering was based on actual recipes from a 1930s cookbook. Everything about this makes me want to blow my wig… blink my peepers… be dizzy with these dames… and basically blurt out a lot of 1930s slang.

The real magic must have been in the invitations that somehow made all the guests be perfectly attired and coiffed for this era. Because if I know people, and I don't, I know they herd like cats when it comes to this stuff.

Here's more evidence that these guests NAILED the landing fashion-wise. Are you seeing the shoes and that hat peeking out in the back?

I'm pretty sure we're spying bloomers right here. This is serious business authentic.

“Pardon me, sir…” “No, no, I insist…” “Bumble bumble… spot of tea.”
