Wedding Dress: A History of 100 Years!

Will wed­ding dress­es lose their rel­e­vance in 100 years? No, we think Chan­fash­ion , but they will def­i­nite­ly lose any con­ven­tion­al­i­ty that is char­ac­ter­is­tic of them now. Let’s see how the bride’s out­fit has changed over the past cen­tu­ry!

Since 1910, wed­ding dress­es have been incred­i­bly stun­ning, they no longer look like anoth­er “dress to go out.” With the small­est details With a high col­lar, long sleeves, sleeve­less, off the shoul­der and strap­less at all, with a train or above the knee, every wed­ding dress in the new decade was dis­tin­guished by excep­tion­al design.

1910

The wed­ding dress of 1910 per­son­i­fied the chasti­ty of its own­er. It was spa­cious and long, with the most beau­ti­ful mod­els embell­ished with lace details such as sleeves and veils. Long elbow-length white gloves com­ple­ment­ed the look and gave the bride ele­gance. So, girls from the tenth years of the twen­ti­eth cen­tu­ry, they pre­ferred to show a min­i­mum of an open body, and prac­ti­cal­ly did not use cos­met­ics.

1920

In the 1920s, wed­ding dress­es slow­ly but sure­ly become short­er than ten years ago, and grad­u­al­ly expose the beau­ti­ful skin of their wear­er. Mod­els come into fash­ion with V‑shaped neck­line and sleeve­less. The main dec­o­ra­tion of the bride can be called strings of pearls.

Wed­ding fash­ion was great­ly influ­enced by the style of cloth­ing that was pop­u­lar at the time. Many brides chose a white dress with a high neck­line, a straight sil­hou­ette and a low waist. Com­plete the look with a lace, roman­tic veil.

1930

The 1930s saw the peak of old-school Hol­ly­wood glam­or. It was a time of silks and satins, and so the bride, faced with the real­i­ty of a tur­bu­lent eco­nom­ic sit­u­a­tion, chose an out­fit made of arti­fi­cial fab­rics in order to get a shiny, fash­ion­able look at any cost.

1940

The 1940s were over­shad­owed by wartime. Brides were not par­tic­u­lar­ly eager to demon­strate their extrav­a­gance and style, many decid­ed to sim­ply wear a beau­ti­ful dress that they already have in the clos­et, or sew an out­fit for their wed­ding day on their own.

The fash­ion­able wed­ding dress of 1945 should be long-sleeved, with ruf­fled and puffy shoul­ders. The design is sim­ple yet ele­gant, accen­tu­at­ing the waist. The image was com­ple­ment­ed with pearls, com­bin­ing it with red lips and light eye make­up.

1950

In 1950, the corset became an inte­gral part of the wed­ding dress. The top of the dress is dec­o­rat­ed with a neck­line that empha­sizes the bride’s neck­line, which makes her attrac­tive, but it does not look bold or vul­gar.

Puffy skirts are in trend, and the very con­cept of a wed­ding dress makes even those girls who pre­fer a sporty style in every­day life fuss. The bride must look like nev­er before!

Remem­ber Jack­ie Kennedy’s wed­ding dress which, she said, Kennedy “hat­ed” and called “lamp­shade” — a per­fect exam­ple of a style that was fash­ion­able at the time.

1960

The 60s open a lacon­ic wed­ding ensem­ble of a wed­ding dress with a short sleeve and a trans­par­ent veil. True, design­ers grad­u­al­ly offer brides mod­els dec­o­rat­ed with rib­bon and lace, with flo­ral embroi­dery, or embroi­dered with beads and pearls.

The most dar­ing brides choose mini-skirts, com­bined with a short veil or hat, they cre­ate a delight­ful wed­ding look!

Clas­sic red lips have gone out of fash­ion, replaced by pale mat­te lip­sticks and dark, bright eyes.

1970

The boom of draped fab­rics and large bright bou­quets of the Flower Pow­er era saw brides “space” of the 60s and returned to vin­tage fash­ion. It is dom­i­nat­ed by long sil­hou­ettes, flow­ing fab­rics and a new wave of love for lace. Yes, there was a lot of nos­tal­gic style in the 1970s. Nonethe­less the clas­sic veil is less and less pop­u­lar, and the love for a wide-brimmed hat among brides is grow­ing day by day.

1980

If in the 60s and 70s the new­ly­weds fol­lowed the con­cept of “less is more”, then in the 1980s the phrase “more and more” dom­i­nat­ed. It was a decade of real lux­u­ry and glam­our, when cou­ples thought care­ful­ly about their wed­ding style. The girls again look in the direc­tion of roman­tic puffy wed­ding dress­es, diadems and veils sev­er­al meters high. Princess Diana’s 1981 dress is a per­fect exam­ple of this style.

1990

By the 1990s, brides seemed to be tired of com­pli­cat­ed and sophis­ti­cat­ed images of the past decade. They pre­fer more min­i­mal­ist dress­es, with the cocoon style becom­ing espe­cial­ly pop­u­lar.

AT the same time, along with tight-fit­ting dress­es, ball gowns are still in demand, they are notice­ably soft­ened. This min­i­mal­is­tic style car­ries over to the entire look of the typ­i­cal 90s bride, with a small neat bou­quet and min­i­mal make­up.

2000

Brides of the new mil­len­ni­um still pre­fer skin­ny, straight sil­hou­ettes of wed­ding dress­es, but they are ready to for­get about the veil alto­geth­er. Instead, girls choose tiaras and flower crowns for them­selves. Dress­es with bare shoul­ders, with­out sleeves and straps are becom­ing lead­ers in bridal salons. Lace is los­ing its rel­e­vance, being neglect­ed in favor of shiny fab­rics such as satin or silk.

A shal­low cutout on the back makes the bride’s look stun­ning.

2010

Remem­ber bride Kate Mid­dle­tonher dress with wide sleeves, or a gor­geous Mer­maid Kim out­fit kar­dashi­an, and you will have per­fect exam­ples of wed­ding styles from the begin­ning of this decade. Deep neck­lines, translu­cent fab­rics — brides no longer hes­i­tate to show their fig­ure and bold­ly try on frank, sexy looks. Do not leave indif­fer­ent mod­ern girls and roman­tic details: lace, beads, feath­ers, embroi­dery.
