0 Vintage Wedding Dresses

Are you looking for a wedding dress that really makes a statement, and not the same kind of wedding dress that every other bride will be sporting this year? Have you considered vintage wedding dresses? One of the most popular things about these gowns that they can give your whole wedding a one of a kind charm.



These dresses are always in style with an elegance and grace that many of the newer style wedding dresses just don't have. One of the best things about vintage wedding dresses is that they remind you of a glamorous and more romantic era, when things were so much different than the days that we are living in now. These gowns are getting harder and harder to find as they get older, but if you can find one, you'll see that they are exquisitely. So if you're looking for some great dresses in your area, and need help, here are a few great places to get started.

Look for Vintage Wedding Dresses in Your Own Home

Ask any bride (young or old, married for 50 years or 2), and you'll find that nearly all of them will have their wedding dress packed away in a closet somewhere for nostalgic reasons. This includes our own family. Perhaps the first place you want to look when searching for these dresses is in your own family. Ask some of the women in your family if they still have their wedding dress packed away somewhere, and if you could use it for your own wedding. This is the least expensive and easiest way to find a dress like this. Some changes may need to be made to update it or make it fit your body, but you can have a gorgeous wedding gown with a great back story for your wedding for nearly no cost at all.
How to Find Great Vintage Wedding Dresses

Find Vintage Wedding Dresses in Thrift Shops and Online

Another great place to find dresses like these are in community thrift stores or online. Some may get mad at me when I say this, but you can find great a pretty decent selection of vintage wedding gowns from the 70's and 80's in some of thrift stores that have a style all their own. While the 70's and 80's aren't exactly vintage as in hundreds of years ago, they do have a particular style and craftsmanship that many of the gowns today just don't have. Sometimes you can even find vintage wedding dresses that are much older than that in some of your local thrift shops as well, so be on the lookout. Also, it's important for you to check the Internet for great deals on vintage wedding dresses. After all, what can't you find online these days?

Some Warnings to Heed

You need to be careful when looking at these gowns, and be sure to examine them very closely before you buy. You'll want to avoid dresses that are missing buttons that can't be replaced, obvious stains or huge tears. You need to go with vintage wedding dresses that have been taken care of over the years.

Vintage wedding dresses not only have a timeless elegance and grace that other wedding gowns can't match, but they show off an extraordinary craftsmanship and detailing that many of the wedding dresses today just can't compare with. So if you're just looking for a wedding dress that is not your usual wedding dress, or one that goes great with an older times wedding theme, vintage wedding dresses may be just what you're looking for.
