Click below for that video. It'll be interesting to be aware what you think. We believed that it was interesting how little wedding gowns have changed - and just how some trends have even returned.
The first dress - a Downton Abbey-style wedding dresses dating from 1915 - showed the bride to be wearing a veil which was very similar to the one which Meghan Markle wore in the Royal Wedding recently, as a result of the scalloped edges. Just implies that real style has never been out of fashion.
Next up would be a flapper-style dress in the roaring 1920s - the decade of dancing The Charleston. 1920's style dresses haven't really lost popularity and several couples today choose to have a 1920s-style day. In particular, the veil style - slightly bunched up round the ears - is really a favorite with vintage brides.
One of the very timeless dresses - give or take several details - maybe the 1935 wedding gown. Based on a bias-cut slip dress, it's overlaid having a long lace coat. Change the collar just a little and you could put it on today. The buttoning in the front is exquisite. (Actually, we LOVE the thought of having a long lace 'coat' on the slip dress. Perfect afternoon to evening wear.
The 1940's style wedding looks just a little dated - and today's brides often prefer a far more fitted gown.
Moving to the 1950's dress. Today's brides styling a vintage-style big day would just like to find a long sleeve wedding dresses such as this. A full skirt is overlaid with lace and lace is appropriate back in style now. Pretty. Did your great-grandmother wear something similar?
In our view, probably the most dated veil and headpiece may be the one worn through the 1960s bride, by having an oversized bow. The skirt includes a tulip shape that you simply don't see a lot now either, but it is certainly a really romantic dress.
Moving the 1970s. If you're targeting a boho-style day, then this is really a dress we believe you're going to love.
The 1980s style dress is unquestionably of its time, as a result of the puff sleeves. Perhaps we'll leave things there.
The mid-1990s dress hasn't dated much. You could wear that today and also you'd look very chic. Again, you may want a more fitted gown, however the off-the-shoulder look is appropriate back in style.

Wonder exactly what the future holds for wedding gowns? What do you believe?
