1940s Vintage Wedding Dresses Are Both Classic And Elegant!

Heighten the Romance by Exploring 1940s Vintage Wedding Dresses

Weddings are like snowflakes. Each one is different and unique. Part of this is because styles are always changing, and part of it is because todays brides and grooms are looking for something unique and different. For couples who are looking for a very romantic wedding the 1940's may be of some interest. It's my opinion that most bygone era's offer up a quality of mystery and romance. The 1940's are no different. And it's fun to try and find that vintage gone from that era of romance...if not quite a challenge. But with the internet ever bringing the world closer and closer, it's getting a little easier to source out items like this that might otherwise be quite hard to find. There arre specialty shops in larger cities that you might have luck finding such a gown in, or...turn to the internet. You can find just about anything on craig's list or ebay, if you can't find it in the store chances are one of these two internet shopping giants will have it.

1940s vintage wedding gowns are both classic and elegant. The 1940's were know as a time that women were always pulled together. They always looked great, and beyond that their manners and charm were impeccable. When you start to look at 1940s dresses you can see this reputation in their design.

1940s dresses are made out of some of the most beautiful fabrics that have been seen. Lush satins are very common. Not only will a satin gown make you feel feminine, but you will also feel sexy as the cool fabric hangs on your frame.

Additionally 1940s dresses feature some of the most intricate and beautiful detail work. You can find delicate embroidery and sparkling bead work. You can also really find some stunning lace gowns from this era.

In terms of cuts 1940s vintage wedding dresses feature many empire waisted gowns. This can be beautiful on most frames because it will hit at the smallest point of the body which will make any bride look thinner and more streamlined.

Due to this the bust is really emphasized in these dresses so if that is an area that you love you might really like the look of 1940s dresses. Additionally these dresses give you great variety in terms of sleeves.

There are sleeveless options, short sleeved options, and even long sleeved options. This can be really helpful to a bride who does not want to go with the very popular strapless look. I myself do not feel overly comfortable in anything strapless, and you want to be comfortable especially on your wedding day. I had a strapless sundress years ago, I loved the fabric and the pattern. I liked how it look in the store, but when it came to wearing it I found I was very self consious wearing it. I like a more modest look...it's just my personality. But if your a little more bold with your fashion sense than by all means go strapless, there are so many styles.

When looking for 1940s vintage wedding dresses you may not quite be sure where to look. Of course there are some new designs that are reminiscent of the 1940's, but that is just not the same as a true vintage gown.

Vintage clothing stores are a perfect place to begin your search. Here you can touch and see the actual dresses that you are interested in. However, this is not the only place to look.

You may be able to find some 1940s vintage wedding dresses at thrift stores or estate sales as well. And you cannot forget about using the internet to aide you in your search. With the web as a tool you may be surprised at how many beautiful 1940s vintage wedding dresses you can have at your fingertips. You find a brand new dress that still has the look and charm of the 40"s. Maybe look in Grandma's or your favorite great auntie's closet. You never know what you might find. You may find a diamond in the rough just waiting to be brought back to life and slightly altered to become the wedding gown of your dreams. Adding special family touches to your wedding day can make it even more memorable. I remember going through my Nana's closet finding a real fox stole. That would be quite an authentic addition to your vintage ensemble. Now you animal lover's might not like that (I know my daughter Alisha would be completely appalled.)I think wearing a dead animal would creep me out now too, but I was eight at the time I came across it. :-)
