Turn that vintage nightmare into the wedding dress of your dreams with Blue-Eyed Boutique

Want to wear your mom’s wedding dress… but when you put it on, you look like a hot mess? Fabric freaking everywhere, or poofy sleeves up to your ears? Perhaps your mom’s 1980s gown is not quite the awesome retro-styled dress of your dreams.

Or is it?…

Our sponsor Blue-Eyed Boutique provides one-of-a-kind dresses up-cycled from vintage clothing. Which means, much like for Valerie up there, that less-than-flattering dress of your mother’s (or grandmother’s) can become the a dress that looked like it was made just for you.

You know you want to see more examples of what Blue-Eyed Boutique can do…

Through Hannah Brown — the owner and designer behind Blue-Eyed Boutique — scores of vintage wedding dresses get revamped for modern brides. Check out how Blue-Eyed Boutique took Mary’s ’70s wedding gown and re-worked it beautifully for Leah, almost 40 years later!

Hannah doesn’t just work her magic on wedding gowns. Take this vintage slip. Gorgeous, right? But… why hide a slip that lovely under another garment? Why not call up Blue-Eyed Boutique and…

…have Hannah add a lining and some colorful embroidery to make that slip into a wedding dress perfect for a photo shoot for Real Maine Weddings magazine!

Even if you don’t have your mom’s dress, or a fantastic vintage find of your own, Blue-Eyed Boutique has a shop full of amazing vintage re-designs. Take The Esther dress, for example. It was originally a 1980s wedding dress from a middle school art teacher, and now it’s a hand-painted, lace wedding dress, perfect for a dreamy, bohemian bride! But oh, the Blue-Eyed Boutique shop is full of amazingness just like The Esther. You have to go and browse!

From New England to New Zealand, whether you’re shopping for a vintage dream dress, or have a vintage nightmare dress that you need altered, Blue-Eyed Boutique is where you’ll find that special up-cycled garment.
