Wedding Dress Inspiration from Past Era’s

February 3, 2011 By Bride.net

The rage today in wedding fashion is all about asserting your own style. But in doing so, many brides are finding inspiration in the page of yesterday’s fashion magazines. As you may have noticed, terms like “classic” and “vintage” are hot in everything wedding-related.

So when it comes to your wedding gown, taking a look back in time is a good place to start. Are you a fun-loving flapper from the 20’s or an elegant lady of the 50’s? Take a look at these gowns, each one reminiscent of one of America’s iconic fashion eras (thank you, Martha Stewart) and be ready to be blown away!
