Wedding gowns these days seem to have lost their simple beauty compared to those worn during our parent's generation and earlier. I wouldn't mind wearing my mom's 1980 wedding gown for my own wedding next time. But she didn't keep the gown and obviously looking at her waistline then, no way I can fit in! Have always been a fan of vintage inspired clothing, bags and shoes. So if I ever get married, the wedding will definitely have a vintage flavour.
The gowns these days are more fancy and elaborate like fashion pieces. Unlike past gown designs which involved using quite a bit of lace giving them a very classy feel. Some of them even if worn today, will still look pretty good and not dated. With that said, not everyone can carry off the vintage gown look. I like those from the 50s - 60s era, just like this piece worn by Grace Kelly, Princess of Monaco.
If you are looking for vintage inspired gowns, check out The Vintage Wedding Dress Company and Wedding Dresses 100. They have really simple and classic designs. One thing for sure, those dresses look easier to move around in compared to bottom heavy pom gowns.
