The photo booth was part of a Mad Men themed birthday party, created by Lauren and Kristen of Bellafare . I don’t know how these tres-talented ladies sourced all the great details, but I thought we’d share a few of Merci’s own tips for scouting the perfect sixties-style accoutrement, right here in New York City! - Finding the gear: Screaming Mimis on Lafayette Street is a great go-to for vintage frocks, hats and accessories of all eras. There’s no way you’ll leave empty handed.
- Scouting the props: Props for Today is an multi-floor emporium of great finds {and yes, I’m giving away one of my favorite resources here}. You’ll be amazing at what you’ll come across. Just make sure you have time to navigate through it all!
- Getting the glasses: The Columbus Avenue GreenFlea hosts Andre van Hoek from Retro Futuristic every Sunday. Andre is my favorite reason to go to the uptown flea… He travels in from Williamsburg with a slew of vintage eyeglasses that have me channeling my inner Betty Draper every weekend. They’ll put the perfect nostalgic touch on your photo booth.
- Scoring the photos: Well, that’s what you need Scott Clark Photography for. None of this would look half as awesome without a great photographer who can capture the vintage lighting, source and set up the amazing backdrop, or make your photo booth the hit of the party!
Many thanks for sharing these amazing photos, Scott ! And congrats on such a stylish party, Bellafare !
