			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">To continue the retro inspiration from today&#8217;s Wedding Dress Wednesday, here is a look at Mad Men&#8217;s own, Christina Hendricks&#8217; (aka Joan Holloway) wedding. Why would AMC deprive us Joan&#8217;s wedding in Mad Men? I was so disappointed when the new season started and we did not see ONE picture from the grand event. Her small and intimate IRL wedding will have to suffice.<br />
</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3498/4012476200_e21be37049.jpg" alt="Christina and Geoffrey" width="500" height="357" /></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">The couple became <a href="http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/b73281_mad_mens_mad_woman_hendricks_gets.html" target="_blank">engaged</a> in December 2008 after Vincent Kartheiser (Pete Campbell), introduced them. In September, Christina said to E! News, &#8220;We really wanted it to be filled with our absolute best friends and our family. We didn&#8217;t want to spread ourselves too thin and we really wanted it to have a warm environment, so we kept it with the tightest people.&#8221;</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> </span><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.celebritybrideguide.com/wp-content/gallery/geoffrey-arend-and-christina-hendricks-wedding/5.jpg" alt="" width="455" height="286" /></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Christina Hendricks exchanged vows with Geoffrey Arend in front of 70 guests on Sunday, October 11, 2009. The ceremony and reception took place at II Buco restaurant in New York, according to <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20311577,00.html?xid=rss-topheadlines" target="_blank">People</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Her dress strapless star burst design concoction was designed </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Carolina Herrera. According to Hendricks, her dress has &#8220;a bit of Sophia Loren to it, but really, it&#8217;s a Christina Hendricks dress&#8221; (Instyle Wedding). I completely agree! (<a href="http://www.carolinaherrera.com/" target="_blank">Carolina Herrera</a>; $6000). Her bustle is the prettiest bustle I&#8217;ve seen.<br />
</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Sweet Deets</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family:Verdana;">Her flowers were a mix of leaves in muted fall colors and camellias</span><br />
<span style="font-family:Verdana;">Vintage chandelier earrings in gold with burnt orange accents</span><br />
<span style="font-family:Verdana;">Henna designs adorned her feet and hands</span><br />
<span style="font-family:Verdana;">She walked down the aisle on the arms of her father and wore a blusher veil over her face</span><br />
<span style="font-family:Verdana;">Her bridesmaids wore a mix of vintage dresses and accessories.<br />
</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Sit back and dream about yesteryear. The glamorous silver screen where famous faces would dance across stage with a grace and elegance. My husband and I are fascinated with Old Hollywood 50’s and 60&#8217;s, especially the AMC TV series, <a href="http://www.amctv.com/originals/madmen/" target="_blank">Mad Men</a>. The TV series is set in the 60&#8217;s in New York City at an Advertising Agency, Sterling Cooper. This week&#8217;s collection is inspired by the women who fret around the playboys of Sterling Cooper and the timeless style they bring to the screen. I feature a dress with sleeves, since showing one&#8217;s shoulders was considered risque. If you like the style, but not sure about the neckline, check out bateau, square or v-neck (with thicker straps).<br />
</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2422/4010337950_98504910ce.jpg" alt="madmen1" width="500" height="357" /></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Night Cap: Duchess satin a-line dress is a perfect for a modest bride. A modified square neckline softens the edges around the bust. Add a double hem in a different color or fabric to add color or texture.  (<a href="http://ariadress.com/Desciptions/Desc127FA.htm" target="_blank">Aria</a>; $225)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Debutante Doll: A ballerina-esqe tea length ball gown is set apart from other frilly frocks. A rounded sweetheart neckline made of silk connected to a full tulle skirt that flounces at every step. (<a href="http://www.candyanthony.com/" target="_blank">Candy Anthony</a>; $2000)<span style="font-family:Verdana;"><br />
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Tip Off: </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> Lace embellishments adorn this 3/4 sleeve Italian organza ball gown. An off-the-shoulder neckline flatters the collar bone. A basque waist is flattering on all body types, as the hem of the bodice dips downward. </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">(<a href="http://www.demetriosbride.com/us/index.php?page=collection_youngSophisticates&amp;styleID=1759" target="_blank">Demetrios</a>; $1500-3000) </span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3487/4010337790_b9c965e691.jpg" alt="madmen2" width="500" height="357" /></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Dipping Dots: A 50&#8217;s inspired strapless silk organza dress decorated with coin-sized polka dots. A playful and cute dress for a spunky bride. (<a href="http://www.michelleroth.com/pgs/maya.php" target="_blank">Michelle Roth</a>; $2,250)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Old Hollywood: Ballerina length (just above the ankles) makes this a feminine and charming option. Tulle wraps the bust and cinches in a bow-like manner. French lace peers from under the circular skirt. (<a href="http://www.rozlakelin.com/" target="_blank">Roz la Kelin</a>; $1500)<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Hour Glass Hottie: The bodice is boned and lined to create a fabulous hour-glass shape. Halter neckline paired with a sweetheart outline gives this dress subtle sexiness and appeal. The belt draws the eye to the skinniest part of the waist, flattering all body types. (<a href="This 1950s style dress is amazing the bodices are boned and lined to give you that great pin-up bullet shape. It lifts your bust while nipping in your waist to accentuate those curves." target="_blank">Vivien of Holloway</a>; $130 )</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">As you can see, dresses that are inspired from timeless beauty are still relevant and popular almost 50 years later. Glorious </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">gowns with impudent neck and hemlines are created to make a sensational and timeless dress. Find one that fits your style today.<br />
