Fairytale Wedding Planning in the UK: 2019 Vintage Inspired Bridal Gowns!

2019 Vintage Inspired Bridal Gowns!


If you are planning a vintage themed wedding then your going to need your vintage style bridal gown too.  There is something I just love about vintage style bridal gowns, they make
my jaw drop every time I see one!. Maybe it's the glamour, the creativity, the uniqueness or just my love for vintage. There really is just something so special.

If you are a lover of vintage like myself, then there will be an era that stands out for you. Maybe its the 1920's, 30's, 40's, 50's or even the 80's!. For me it's the 1930's, the decade that I think honoured femininity and sophistication. Full of the old Hollywood glamour and of course elegance that I think made every woman feel like a princess to stand out from the crowd.
I believe there is a vintage style gown out there for every bride.
Maybe your Mother, Grandmother or relative is passing on their wedding gown to you, or perhaps you want a modern gown design that has been inspired by the era that you love. The idea of wearing a authentic vintage wedding gown really is lovely and if you can manage to get your hands on a gown that you love, fits you and is from the era of your choice, then snap it up!
There are many bridal boutiques that specialise in authentic vintage bridal gowns now and they have become very popular. You can do a search online to find a shop near you. Charity shops are also another option and the cost can be a lot less. Sometimes though it can be hard to find the perfect bridal gown you love in the era of your choice or even finding the right size.
 The other option is the modern vintage inspired bridal gown. Yes, you will most likely pay more but if you can take away the stress and worry of finding your authentic vintage wedding gown and have a much larger choice of dresses all under one roof then paying that bit more for the dress of your dreams will not matter. There are many bridal boutiques that stock vintage inspired bridal gown designers  and for sure there will be a designer that will have the bridal gown of your dreams, in your budget.
Many brides choose the modern vintage inspired bridal gown as it is a lot less stressful.  Book your appointment for your dress fitting, you choose the gown  you love, the stylists measure you and then set to work on the gown of your dreams. Of course any extra detailing you would like, you can have. Making your bridal gown unique to you.


Eliza Jane Howell has got to be one of my favourite bridal dress designs and I think one of the very best. Beautiful, luxurious vintage inspired gowns that have such sophistication, elegance and class. Oh, they are so beautiful and yes my jaw is dropping girls!
