Design Elements: 1920’s Style Wedding Dresses

Posted on November 8, 2012 by bertismus

For a bride, no other aspect of her wedding day is as crucial as finding the perfect dress to walk down the aisle in. Dress shopping inspires more excitement and trepidation in brides than any other task related to their big day. However, no bride wants to look quite like any other. Many fashion-forward brides are instead looking to the past for inspiration; enter 1920 style wedding dresses. Considered novel and daring for the era, 1920 style wedding dresses eschewed the mounds of fabric and restrictive corsets of past styles. With shorter hemlines and straighter cuts, 1920 style wedding dresses have flattered generations of modern brides since their inception.

The design elements of 1920 style wedding dresses are unmistakable: natural fibers, dropped waistlines, beading, feathering, and slivers of strategically highlighted skin are all hallmarks of these dresses. Fabrics were designed to drape romantically and off-the-shoulder options were popular. To get this look, today’s bride might choose a dress with flowy fabric, demure detailing, and a subtly sexy cut.

The typical wedding dress color is white, but 1920 style wedding dresses put that tradition aside. Bold colors, such as red, purple, or gold became accepted for wedding dresses of the era. Many modern brides take inspiration from this trend and opt for a gown in a show-stopping color. To pull off the look, simply pick the color that flatters your skin tone the most. Consider opting for a more modestly cut gown if you pick a vibrant shade; the color should speak for itself, not compete with the cut of your dress.

Adornment was everything on 1920 style wedding dresses: layer upon layer of frills, pearl detailing, rosettes, and embroidery enhanced the clean lines of these dresses. Pearl detailing can be particularly useful along the hemline for adding movement on the dance floor, or for adding an extra bit of flair to a simple bodice. Rosettes and frills can look marvelous on the same dress. Paired together, they conjure a romantic sweetness that is hard to match. A bit of bold feathering may be just the embellishment a daring bride needs for her dress. Embroidery, however, typically looks best against the quiet backdrop of a simply cut and light colored frock.

Accessories for 1920 style wedding dresses are limited only by the imagination of the wearer. Cloche hats with feathers or hat pins, long and loopy pearl necklaces, velvet trimmed shrugs, beaded shawls, and chunky heeled pump shoes all compliment this style of wedding dress perfectly.

1920 style wedding dresses and accessories incorporate so many lovely and romantic design elements; there is truly a design for every bride who wishes to add a little fashion-forward style from the past to her big day.

Vintage Style Wedding Gowns

Posted on September 20, 2012 by bertismus

How many weddings have you been to where the bride’s dress looked like a boring, carbon copy of the same dress you had seen on every bride that season? It’s true: Thanks to the slew of chain bridal stores and an almost eerie need to adhere to the current trends, a lot of brides are starting to look… well, downright identical.

Instead of wearing the same old strapless white gown, why not consider a vintage look? This may be intimidating for some brides, but truth be told, the most glamorous and feminine eras are behind us, not ahead of us. Vintage style wedding dresses have an unmistakable beauty to them, and evoke a time of soft, elegant glamor.

One of the most popular styles of vintage wedding dresses are Titanic dresses, which are inspired by the beauty and regal elegance of turn of the century style, as seen in the era of the famed Titanic. The Original Titanic Dress boasts a feminine v-neckline and tiered style skirt. It is the utmost flattering style for virtually any body type, from very slim to curvaceous. Titanic dresses are perfect for “think outside the box” brides, or those who want to put an entirely new spin on wedding style.

For those brides who are interested in vintage style wedding dresses but who also want a softer, more traditionally “bridal” look, this would be a perfect style. This Ruffled Vintage Style Wedding Gown has a completely classic design. It is unique, while simultaneously traditional. The cascading white ruffled look compliments the sleek bodice beautifully, creating a gorgeous vintage style that is also form-fitting and alluring.

Several other vintage style wedding dresses also boast these gorgeous, cascading designs. This Spanish Style Lace Bridal Gown is soft and feminine. While it is certainly elegant, it evokes a very relaxed feeling, rendering it perfect for a beach or small wedding.

If you are intrigued by Titanic dresses but could never sacrifice traditional white on your big day, consider this stunning ivory wedding dress. Its square neckline is exquisitely old-fashioned and sophisticated, and the delicate embroidering and ruffling towards the calf-length hemline render it as classic as it is beautiful. Like most vintage style wedding dresses, these Titanic dresses are stunning for just about every shape and figure.

If you adore vintage style wedding dresses but aren’t quite brave enough to try such authentic Victorian styles as the Titanic dresses, consider this Edwardian Lace Dress. While it is certainly an old-fashioned design that evokes old-world elegance, it is subtle enough to be perfect for even the most modern bride. The 3/4 length sleeves and v-neckline are absolutely gorgeous and very chic, and this dress is versatile enough to work for a daytime beach wedding or a dressier evening affair.

Whether you opt for one of the timeless Titanic dresses or one of the other gorgeous styles shown above, you are sure to be an unforgettable bride if you go with one of these vintage style wedding dresses. Beyond capturing the elegance of an earlier time, these vintage style wedding dresses are cut and designed in such a way where they are sleek, flattering, and slimming for just about any body type. Without a doubt, a vintage wedding dress is the perfect option for those brides who don’t want to wear the same old boring chain store mass-produced wedding gown, and instead want to be exquisitely unforgettable on their special day.
