An example of a vintage wedding dress.

If you are a local bride-to-be who aspires to look beautiful, stylish, unique, and unforgettable in your wedding photo in Durham, but feel a little bit budget-constrained, perhaps you might want to opt for a vintage wedding gown. Many brides-to-be nowadays are setting their eyes on vintage designs. Vintage wedding gowns can provide the same level of beauty and stylishness without being heavy on the budget. Plus, they make future brides look way more unique and unforgettable.

According to Rachel Leonard, the director of Brides magazine, there is now a market for old school wedding dresses. Combining retro and modern styles in wedding gowns has become big, be it the veil or the dress, or the cocktail hat, or even just the wedding shoes.

Leonard said that two styles have become very salable: the 1930’s Hollywood-inspired gowns and the 1950’s designs with the full skirts and tight waists. The trend for retro wedding gowns is partly because of the TV hit series Mad Men which created a desire for the formal gowns of the 1960’s.

In addition, Carmen Haid, operator of an online haven for vintage wedding gowns called Atalier Mayer, said that for the women who have hourglass body figures, 1950’s-inpired vintage wedding gowns would make them look stunning. Meanwhile, for the tall and slim women, there is nothing more flattering than slipping on an Ossie Clarke number from the 70’s.

I had so much fun shopping for my dress. I did find my dream dress in the first bridal shop I went to, but it can be overwhelming. Have a small group of ladies whom you truth their option to go shopping with you.

Depending on the type of wedding (very formal church or afternoon garden wedding) you are having, there are particular dresses that suit those themes more than others.

Let your bridal associate know your wedding theme and colours before you start looking at dresses. Many associates are fantastic at choosing dresses that mix perfectly with wedding themes allowing the dress to help achieve the overall wedding day atmosphere.

Remember to try all types of dresses, what looks weird on the rack could look fabulous on you. And most of all………ENJOY EVERY MOMENT!!!!
