Victorian Wedding Gowns

Today's Victorian wedding gowns are inspired by those of mid 80s. Although the wedding gown style kept changing through the Victorian Era, but it maintained a basic framework structure, such as long skirt, larger curve sleeves, and high necklaces that covered the bosoms well. Therefore, even now these fine 'touché of legacy' stay.

Victorian Wedding Gowns give a modest, yet a completely traditional, classical, and royal feel to a bride’s appearance. The bead work decoration all around imparts an exquisite look to the attire. Vintage styled bridal gowns hold full sleeves, cut sleeves, or are strapless, to suit the bride's taste. People in Victorian Era emphasized the use of white as the right color for marital union. Actually, Queen Victoria vastly influenced the choice of average women to opt for a white satin wedding gown, bordered with lace, as bridal attire.

Victorian Wedding Gowns Styles
• High-Collared Gown: Immensely popular among brides looking for a classic finish, this gown is designed in the form of a jacket, styled with a long skirt. The A-shape skirt has three quarter sleeves.
• Medieval-Inspired Gown: This unique and elegant pick is though hard to find, yet numerous online merchants boast of selling its extensive collection. Medieval inspired Victorian wedding gowns have cover up hoods and are found in different colors, including white and golden.
• Two Piece Wedding Gown: This gown poses a very modern appeal, with an upper and a lower segment. The two pieces are applied in different combination to give an attractive finish. Lace can be used as an outer cover to add to its grace.
• Flowing Long Sleeved Wedding Gown: The long curve sleeves in Victorian wedding gowns provide a dazzling trim look, with meticulous work. The silver color does justice to the costume’s appearance.
• Full-skirted Wedding Gown: This comprises of a band across the chest, with long flared skirts and thin bell sleeves strikingly accentuating the neckline. The bride is bound to look fabulous in the outfit.
• Renaissance Victorian Wedding Gown: This is the most different of the lot, with the basic characteristics of the sub-styles remaining the same. The under drape and the sleeves of the gown get tighter as they near the wrists, while the skirt tends to flow away from the body as the bride moves - the most likable phenomenon among the brides, giving them a simulated feel of a princess.

The Victorian wedding gowns would fascinate many women around, owing to their beauty and smart designs. Reasonably enough, a bride is magnetized to any of the above styles, providing her 'the' desired look on the most special and the happiest day of her life.
