A ’50s pinup spin on a chic Santa Barbara wedding
Vargas girls, you’re getting a run for your money. Because Tiphany has mastered the art of sexy pinup glamour, and she showed off some seriously hip retro style when she married her very own Daddy-O Jamie at the Four Seasons Biltmore in California wine country last September.
{What’s Wedding Porn Wednesday?}

This couple’s style is the eptiome of ’50s cool. They’re kind of like a modern-day Rizzo and Kenicke from Grease.

Every detail of this remarkable wedding was captured by the incredible husband-and-wife photography team Matt and Angie Sloan of Sloan Photographers. They’re based in Arizona but available to shoot just about anywhere.


Tiphany paired her sweet n’ sexy tea-length Melissa Sweet wedding dress with one of the prettiest headpieces I’ve ever seen, and these fabulous ’50s-style yellow pumps. Except when she was rocking her Chuck Taylors and playing cricket. (Why? Because she can.)

Blackberry jam favors encourage guests to “spread the love”. Sweet!


Tiphany wore her mom’s heirloom pearls. Classic!

Candy buttons! Choward’s! Yes, you’ve died and gone to heaven! And heaven is kickin’ it old-school.

The bridesmaids dresses were customized to match the blue and yellow palette. Check out the blue crinolines under their skirts. Sewing in matching crinolines is a great way to coordinate bridesmaids’ looks and add a sweet detail to their dresses.



Pinup girls were a recurring theme…and Tiphany looked just like one come to life! Her red lips, porcelain skin, and modern bouffant ‘do are so perfectly pulled together. I love when a bride knows who she is and expresses her personal style so eloquently.


Helloooooooo, eyelashes! Tiphany’s makeup just rocks my world.


Congratulations to Tiphany and Jamie on a beautiful wedding and an even lovelier happily ever after!

In love with that dress and the whole look!
I love tea length dresses, but especially the yellow heels + sneakers! Sunshine!
I am so in like with this, the shots are beautiful… I am so going to have to reblog this!
This is one of my all-time faves! Looking at Tiphany just makes me smile — she nailed the glamour and topped it off with some humor and fun, and they both just look soooooo happy! Re-blog away, I’d love for more people to peep these photos. Just make sure to credit Sloan Photographers — they’re super cool. Thanks for the comments!
