Vintage Style Wedding Dresses is a source for current modern bridal gowns

‘Old is Gold’ was definitely said by some smart ‘foresighter’, wedding dresses are no exception to this regulation. Let’s take a look at the characters of wedding dresses throughout the 20th century, and Here is some information on vintage style wedding dresses in the 20th century. You may find that the vintage wedding dresses will be an inspiration for the modern world and the current fashion statement is greatly inspired by the past decades’ style and manner.

The Early 20th Century Wedding Dresses

The 1900 wedding dresses were of the Edwardian and Titanic style. This style reflected an elegant wedding gown pattern with a long train at the back and a ground-touching veil to go along. The silhouette was that of a ball gown or an A-line/princess. In both the silhouettes, the pattern below the waistline was a full skirt. The only difference being that the ball (Cinderella) gown skirt was a little more flared and flowing than the princess pattern skirt. The train was usually carried by one or two bridesmaid, when the bride would walk down the aisle. 1910 onwards the silhouette got sleeker (not body-fitting) and the waistline rose higher. The sleek silhouettes are known as Empire. By the start of 1920, the flapper wedding dresses were in fashion. These dresses were loose throughout, some even up to knee-length. During the 30s, the dresses became slender with collars and loose fitting bodice, concentrating more on the length. Instead of tiaras and veils, women wore beautiful hats.

The Mid 20th Century Wedding Dresses

The 40s fashion trend experienced some major changes. Every aspect of life was affected during war, so were the wedding attires. Since soldiers had to go on war, the whole marriage affair was fast and simple. The bridal gowns were sober, without any display of grandeur. With the end of war, the weddings during 50s were celebrated with more enthusiasm. The dresses became more fancy but without leaving their modesty. Most of the dresses had long sleeves and a high neckline, while some that were strapless had short jackets called bolero jackets to complement the decent look. During the 60s, women became a little open-minded which consequently reflected in their preferences for wedding dresses. It gave rise to shorter wedding dresses which were above knee-length, some dresses allowed the brides to reveal their slender shoulders. However, pillbox hats and gloves were totally in fashion and could not be left out, no matter what the style of the dress was.

The Late 20th Century Wedding Dresses

During the 70s, the designs and patterns went through a roller-coaster ride with flowing patterns, Victorian style neckline and Camelot sleeves. During the mid 70s a raised waist with balloon sleeves and ruffled Victorian neckline were in fashion. The disco craze during the 70s also influenced the wedding dress patterns to some extent. Bat-wing sleeves along with long trains were also a famous trend. During the 80s Princess Diana’s marriage to Prince Charles once again brought forth the elegance factor that had somewhat vanished from the wedding dress patterns during the past few decades. Square and V-necked dresses surfaced during this time and the dresses were embroidered with sequins and beads. The fashion of 80s was carried forward in the 90s with slight changes. The waistline moved higher, somewhere at or above the hips. Puffy sleeves and bows that were common in those times have eventually disappeared in the current i.e. 21st century wedding dresses.

Nowadays, people plan their weddings according to various wedding themes and the wedding dresses are custom-designed as per the theme as well as the bride’s wish. The latest wedding dresses pose a mix of many of the vintage style wedding dresses, thus generating newer and modern styles.

Chaise Lounge Styles – Modern Chaise Lounge Photos?

I am interested in antique furniture style such as Rocco chaise lounges form victorian era.
Any information is useful.

I need help creating a “modern” victorian Master bedroom feel…?

I just redid my entire master bedroom and something is not right… My husband and I bought a gorgeous burgandy comforter with matchng curtains, all of which have big gold flowers on them with olive/ sage green leaves. Our furniture is a deep walnut color and I just painted the walls to match the leaves. My husband LOVES it… me not so much… it needs something. It looks like a room in a little old lady’s victorian home, pretty… just too grandmaish for me. I feel like something could jazz it up a bit and make it feel a little more modern, but not sure what. I prefer the less is more concept, I can’t stand clutter or business. Throw in the fact that I am very practical and this room is small and has a king size bed, but we’re not changing it or the comforter set. The hardware is gold and two pictures that we have up and for sentimental reason will not come down are both framed in antique gold… I know… it doesn’t help matters. So far one wall is bare. Any ideas?
P.S. the trim around the doors, floorboard, and closet itself is white. I like the black idea… would it clash?

Antique & Modern Furniture Styles Defined

There are as many styles in the world of furniture and design as there are tastes to desire them. From the somber dark woods of the Jacobean period to the geometric characteristics of Art Deco, there is something for everyone, and often making a choice is the hardest part. They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and it is certainly true in the furnishing world.

Let’s run through some of the more well-known styles, defining and categorizing them so that with a little understanding, we can better analyze our tastes and desires. From rustic to formal, simple to elaborate, furniture creates a mood and shows off personal taste to best effect.

17th Century Furniture – Furniture has come a long way from the heavy 17th century Jacobean influences. This mediaeval-style furniture was typically plain wood with rush seats, straight lines and characteristically dark wood. In later years Early American style evolved, with typical European influence brought by the immigrants to the New World of America. In contrast, Louis XIV was busy creating the splendours and opulence of Versailles, with ornate gold carvings, fine artwork and magnificent craftsmanship in every room.

The later William and Mary style brought trumpet turned legs, ball feet and padded upholstery to English parlours with a new look in oriental lacquer work.

18th Century Furniture – As Queen Anne ascended the English throne in 1702, furnishings became more refined, with graceful cabriole legs, rococo ornate trimmings and shell curves. Tapestry and chintz were popular and this became known as Queen Anne style.

Colonial style American furniture was more conservative than English furniture of the same period, featuring carved pillars and less ornamentation. Following Queen Anne, Georgian style appeared and was particularly identifiable in architecture. In furniture, carved cabriole legs were the fashion, along with S-shaped curves and motifs. In the latter half of the 18th century, Chippendale furniture was in vogue, especially after the publication of Chippendale’s book of designs. His furniture was graceful, delicate and cultured and was further developed by Adam and Hepplewhite who introduced tapered legs, veneers and inlay to great effect.

From 1780-1820 Sheraton style was the most reproduced style in America during the Federal period, with bow-fronted chests and cabinets. Chairs now had sloping arms and upholstered seats with central splat detail on the backs.

19th Century Furniture – Shaker furniture is still a popular style today. It is defined by the simple, utilitarian furniture approved of by the religious communities in America. It is typically plain and unadorned, as was the architecture and lifestyle of those early immigrants.

Back in England, the Victorian era heralded much heavier and darker furniture than before. It is easily recognizable by its Gothic influence, and heavy substantial proportions. It often had elaborate carving or ornamentation to offset the dark finish of the oak, mahogany and walnut woods.

20th Century Furniture, and Onwards – With the dawn of the 20th century, Art Nouveau was a refreshing change. Furniture made a tremendous departure from what had gone before. Chair backs were balloon-shaped or bentwood. Furniture had curving lines, scalloped fronts and intricate patterns. This morphed into the Art Deco period which featured abstract designs, ornamental motifs, rectilinear shapes and a certain geometric style. It took the world by storm at the Paris Exhibition of 1925 after the dreary days of World War I. The Art Deco style is clearly illustrated in the pastel-coloured architecture of South Beach, Miami and the furniture within.

In furniture the Mid-Century Modern style was progressing, particularly influenced by Charles and Ray Eames, Arne Jacobsen and Gio Ponti, whose mass-produced designs in man-made materials revolutionised furniture in the mid 20th century western world.

From the 1960’s onwards furniture became Contemporary. Scandinavian ideas featured light natural wood, with simple lines, utilitarian design and very little ornamentation. This was later developed still more by such designers as Marc Newson into the Post Modern and Contemporary style which is popular today for modern homes.

This is the story so far, but progress does not stand still. With the advent of new materials, glass furniture and new innovations, styles continue to develop. No doubt by the end of the 21st century, several new terms will have been added to the dictionary of furniture design and style.

From contemporary modern furniture, all the way back to antique furniture – Crawleys Furniture has a wide range of items that can work with your home or office needs.
