From Victorian to modern: discover the evolution of wedding dresses

Have you ever wondered what path wedding dresses have taken from Victorian splendor and opulence to the stylish simplicity of modern bridal fashion? Step into the wonderful world of wedding dresses, where every fold, every lace, and every hem tells its own story.

Bridal fashion through the years

Victorian bridal gowns: a symbol of impeccable elegance. With corsets accentuating the waist and lavish layers of fabric, they emanated the essence of Victorian fashion. A paragon of finesse, you might say. 

The Roaring Twenties and beyond: Bridal gown designs at the time were nourished hand in hand by the liberal spirits of the era. Flapper dresses with lowered waistlines and shorter lengths danced the Charleston, while the vintage bridal gowns from this period continue to be a source of inspiration to this day.

The post-war elegance: After the austere years of World War II, romance blossomed again. Iconic wedding dresses with full skirts, inspired by designs from Dior's New Look, made young women dream again.

Enter the '60s and '70s: Hello freedom! With the bridal gown trends embracing shift dresses and hippie influences, there was more room for personal expression. Transformation wedding dresses adapted to the social revolutions of the time.

From the '80s to the millennium: Big was beautiful. Puffed sleeves, lush fabrics, and yes, who can forget Lady Di's epic train? Design innovations in bridal gowns increased, with more customization options to make every bride feel unique.

Modern bridal fashion: Sleek, refined, sometimes even daring. The wedding dress style evolution continues to evolve with minimal designs or statement pieces that emphasize the couple's personality. At E&R Wedding & Fashion, we celebrate this diversity with our exclusive bridal fashion collections.
