A gown can have a high neckline, graceful sleeves, sculpted lace, or a dramatic veil and still feel completely current. The secret is not copying an entire decade. It is choosing t

1950s Wedding Dresses: Silhouettes Modern Brides Are Wearing Again

Bridal fashion has changed dramatically over the decades, but some silhouettes never really disappear. They wait. Then a new generation of brides discovers them and makes them feel fresh again. That is exactly what is happening with 1950s-inspired wedding dresses.

Why a Good Bridal Stylist Looks at You Before the Dress

A beautiful wedding dress can be wrong for the woman wearing it. That is why a useful bridal appointment should begin with the bride — not with the rack. The dress is not the starting point Before looking at labels or trends, look at proportion. Where is the natural waist? What does the bride want to emphasize?
