When a wedding dress is described as "vintage-inspired," it means that the design and style of the dress are influenced by fashion trends, aesthetics, and elements from a particular era in the past. The term "vintage" generally refers to items that are at least 20-30 years old, while "vintage-inspired" implies that the dress is a modern creation but incorporates features reminiscent of an earlier time. We find that lots of brides love to find a gown that’s reminiscent of their favorite era!

The specific era that inspires the dress can vary, but some common vintage-inspired wedding dress styles are influenced by the following periods:
Victorian Era (1837-1901): Dresses inspired by this era may feature high necklines, long sleeves, corseted bodices, and intricate lace detailing.
Roaring Twenties (1920s): Dresses influenced by the flapper era often have dropped waistlines, beaded embellishments, and art deco patterns.
Old Hollywood Glamour (1930s-1950s): Dresses from this period may feature elegant silhouettes, bias cuts, sweetheart necklines, and luxurious fabrics like satin and silk.
Retro 1960s and 1970s: These dresses often showcase A-line or empire waistlines, flowing fabrics, and bohemian elements like bell sleeves and floral patterns.
1980s and 1990s: Dresses inspired by these decades may include puff sleeves, off-the-shoulder styles, and unique fabric choices.
