15 Chic Vintage Wedding Dresses For The Modern Bride

No other ensemble will carry more meaning, no other dress shall speak volumes about why the particular ivory package is exactly the thing you needed to paint your love across the atramental plaque of the sky with the stars of your love! And as such, the choice of your bridal ensemble – a partial lean toward tulle or a weak spot for lace, a penchant for silk are all choices that will take incredible time and effort. Amidst the wide gamut of options available to a bride, chic vintage wedding dresses are making the cut ever-so-often. Chic vintage style wedding dresses are the perfect way to achieve that sweet nostalgic look on your big day. Not only are chic vintage wedding dresses a smart blend of the old-world and the new, the traditional feel, complemented by modish vibes become a perfect zipped up piece of a lifetime’s promises- a legacy you carry and a legacy, all your own, you wish to leave behind.

As such, when it comes to picking bridal gowns, chic vintage wedding gowns emerge as a time-tested formula that not only unify the classic and traditional elements with an understated elegance with the spiffy, a la mode details you loved on the Vera Wang number but also lend you the look that you’d always wished for when you saw the likes of Gwendolynne, Johanna Johnson, Claire Pettibone, and Jenny Packham pull off the ‘chic vintage bride’ part with astonishing and enviable flair!
