So what makes a wedding gown mid-century fab? It is the strapless necklines with natural waists flowing into full skirts. Tea length gowns were a new addition to the collections of many of the bridal designers, as were gowns with flirty tulle skirts. Also in evidence were lace appliques, ribbons at waists, and even fabric flower corsage accents on the waists of the gowns. All of this adds up to a fantastic and feminine collection of wedding gowns for 2010 brides!
The emphasis on the natural waistline in the 50s inspired bridal gowns is a very flattering silhouette on many women. A fitted bodice with a strongly defined waist flowing into a full skirt will make your waist look tiny. The natural waist is also excellent for petite brides who tend to get cut in half by dropped waists, as well as any bride who wants to hide her tummy. Having a sash or wide ribbon at the waistline helps to make the effect even better.
The embellishments on the 1950s style wedding dresses trend towards demure. Imagine beautiful French lace appliques on a tulle skirt, a pert little satin bow at the waist, or perhaps a bodice with a wrapped organza detail. These gowns do not tend to sparkle or shine with rhinestones; they are best accented with delicate pearl bridal jewelry. Choose an updated combination of pearl and crystal bridal jewelry, or go for the all out vintage effect with a traditional strand of pearls. Either way, the results will be gorgeous. Finish off your demure 50s inspired look with a waist length veil, and perhaps a little sheer organza coverup for the ceremony.
