There’s something undeniably romantic about vintage lingerie. The delicate fabrics, timeless silhouettes, and elegant details call to mind the classic beauty of icons like Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, and Marilyn Monroe. For some of our clients, slipping into a vintage piece is like stepping into a different era—one that’s soft, glamorous, and full of feminine mystery.
At Lafleur Boudoir, vintage-inspired sessions are one of our favorite ways to explore that sense of nostalgia and beauty. While vintage isn’t for everyone, for those who love that old-Hollywood feel, it can be the perfect touch. That soft lace robe, a sheer peignoir set, or a delicately embroidered slip transforms the mood of a session into something magical and timeless.
A Peek into Our Client Closet
Included in every Lafleur Boudoir session is full access to our Client Closet—a curated collection of lingerie and accessories that includes hundreds of modern options alongside some beautiful vintage pieces. These images showcase a few of our favorite vintage selections: soft, flowing robes, pastel lace gowns, and sheer nightgowns with that dreamy, mid-century look. Whether you’re drawn to the elegance of the 1950s or the bohemian flair of the 1970s, there’s something enchanting waiting for you.
These vintage looks pair beautifully with our light-filled studio spaces, adding a sense of softness and story. The textures, the way the fabric catches the light, the way it makes you feel—these are the little things that elevate a session from beautiful to unforgettable.
