W e perhaps won’t all agree about what makes the perfect wedding in an aesthetic sense, but there’s one thing that’s beyond question: every bride to be dreams that her outfit for her spe- cial day will possess an aura of time- less chic. Yes, no one wants to look back at their wedding photos ten years on and feel slightly horrified by ag- gressive straps or glaring makeup that look as outdated as the styl- ings of the 1980s appear to us to- day. With this in mind, is there any better way to ensure that your wed- ding outfit has fashion carte blanche for decades to come than to opt for a gown that has already passed the test of time? Yes, vintage wedding dresses are more popular today than they’ve ever been! Demand for vintage wedding dresses has grown in parallel with the fame of archival designs worn by lady celebrities on red carpets. This is partly due to the omnipres- ence of the principle of sustainabil- ity and partly because the styles of bygone times appear far more ele- gant and elaborate than anything that’s created today - but the most important aspect is ultimately the prestige of inimitability. Indeed, what’s the likelihood that anoth- er girl will choose a similar wed- ding dress if yours is a unique de- sign from another era? Depending on how varied your Pinterest (p)references are, and whether your heart beats faster to Edwardian collars or minimalist cuts like those of Narciso Rodriguez’s fa- mous creation that made Carolyn Bessette Kennedy an icon of style, you can seek your dream dress on one of the internet’s many resale How wedding dresses from bygone times have become the fairy-tale factor of our modern weddings

platforms, in commission shops of- fering select second-hand design- er items, or you can even opt for gowns preserved over generations by the women of your own family, primarily your mother and grand- mothers. What’s most important is that you start your search as early as pos- sible. That’s because, in contrast to actual wedding salons – where you have the full range of “silk and vel- vet” at your disposal and your dress can be altered to appear moulded to your figure on the spot – vin- tage wedding dresses will require much more effort and adaptation. Of course, here it also pays off to heed the prime advice of a stylist. The location of the wedding should be taken into consideration when selecting an appropriate dress. Thus, models with lavish ruffles are ide- al for spacious halls and a glamor- ous atmosphere and those with meticulously embroidered details and old-fashioned fairy-tale lace are suitable for a more traditional wedding format, while unrestrained satin models are better suited to the more relaxed atmosphere of a trendy civil ceremony.
