4 Favorite Contemporary Bridal Gowns that Look Vintage

AuthorJay Johnson DateMonday, January 21, 2013 at 9:00AM


Nostalgic looks are dominating many of today's weddings, and we're pleased to report that brides, grooms, and attendants don't only have to shop vintage (although that remains a great option). Some designers are embracing the look and feel of vintage and are coming up with some smashing examples of romantic, nostalgic bridalwear. A great example is the "Eden" gown (top photo) from designer Jenny Packham. Here are four of our favorite nostalgic contemporary gowns; click on each photo to see other shots from the weddings in which these lovely gowns were featured.

    Lovely gowns especially a Monique Lhuillier creation, she got a brilliant minds when it comes to gowns which I adore the most is that she knows how to make a woman look more elegant even with simplicity. Like the new discovery I've found in loving gowns too here www.bridesire.com as its simple forms.
