1920s wedding dresses - original vintage photos


The fashionable images of the 1920s are full of glitz and beauty. In the luxurious looks of the 1920s, radiance comes not only from the jewelry, but also from the dresses themselves, shoes and other accessories. The sparkle of precious stones side by side with accessories made of fur and feathers, dresses made of silk and satin, embroidered with rhinestones and metallized handbags. We can fully judge the brilliance of the 1920s by films such as The Great Gatsby.

Only not all women could afford to 1920s luxury dresses... In Russia, in general, there was a disastrous situation, and in Europe and the United States, most people lived more than modestly. Therefore, wedding dresses of ordinary brides could not radiate radiance, they only absorbed some of the fashion trends of that time.

Brides wore a little baggy white straight-cut dresses for the wedding, which could not boast of a wealth of decor. But an important attribute of the wedding image was a very long and airy veil, which was decorated with lace, beads and flowers. The veil covered the entire head and fell to the floor, merging with the train of the dress. In addition to the veil, the wedding dress was complemented by artificial flowers.

Unfortunately, the original photographs show few details and hardly notice the shine that came even from brides in the most ordinary dresses. 1920s years, because the photographs then were far from the best quality, and besides, time ruined many pictures ...
