Vintage Inspired Wedding Gowns

First, let’s stop by the 1930s, where the trend was lace gowns and dropped waists.

In the 1940s, sleek gowns reigned with backs as a focal piece.

The 1950s inspired big ball gowns with full skirts, similar to this style below.

1960s brides were looking for empire waists and metallic embellishments.

The 1970s vintage wedding gowns were all about ruffled tiers and all-over lace.

And, last but not least, the 1980s is when the large cathedral trains were in their full glory.
