\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<strong>YOU&#8217;RE A VICTORIAN BRIDE IF &#8230;<\/strong> you want a dress that&#8217;s both romantic <em>and<\/em> ravishing. It&#8217;s a true showstopper that marks your big day with a capital &#8220;S&#8221; in Style.<\/p>\n<p>The Victorian era (1850-1890) was named after the English ruler of the time, Queen Victoria. And truly, what better era to seek inspiration from for a wedding dress than the Victorian one, since it was Queen Victoria herself who first wore a white wedding dress when she married Prince Albert (also her first cousin!) in 1840.<\/p>\n<p>Like Coco Chanel invented the Little Black Dress and Mary Quaint the mini skirt, we have Queen Victoria to thank for popularizing the White Wedding Dress.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE DRESS:\u00a0<\/strong>Victorian-inspired wedding dresses are generally an hourglass shape with a fitted waist and tight bodice. While Victorian brides wore corsets for the most dramatic hourglass shape, modern day brides shouldn&#8217;t worry about breaking a rib for sake of authenticity.\u00a0Focus instead on finding \u00a0a dress that flatters your shape and feels comfortable.<\/p>\n<p>The markings of a Victorian inspired vintage wedding dress are a high neckline with a sheer lace bodice and sleeves. The high neck stops with a ruffle, which matches the ruffles at the wrists on your dresses&#8217; sleeves. For modern flavor, look for fitted lace sleeves rather than the loose bell shape style.<\/p>\n<p>The skirt is lined with tulle to create the allusion of wearing an authentic Victorian era hoop skirt. Also a must for a <a href=\"http:\/\/yourvintagewedding.com\/victorianera.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Victorian wedding dress<\/a> is at least a \u00a0medium-length train. Not only is a train great for dramatic effect when walking the aisle, but a great prop for photos when used to gather and sweep into a circle of white at your feet.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-409009737\" src=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/the-fur-debate-how-to-be-sustainable-recycle-vintage-fur-for-good-causes-243.jpg\" width=\"540\" height=\"402\" alt=\"The Fur Debate: How to be Sustainable &#038; Recycle Vintage Fur for Good Causes\" title=\"The Fur Debate: How to be Sustainable &#038; Recycle Vintage Fur for Good Causes\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/the-fur-debate-how-to-be-sustainable-recycle-vintage-fur-for-good-causes-243.jpg 540w, https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/the-fur-debate-how-to-be-sustainable-recycle-vintage-fur-for-good-causes-243-500x372.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>BUY:<\/strong> Victorian-inspired wedding dress by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/81322438\/vintage-50s-ivory-wedding-dress-with-90?ref=sr_gallery_28&amp;sref=&amp;ga_search_submit=&amp;ga_search_query=victorian+style+wedding+dress&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_ship_to=US&amp;ga_search_type=vintage&amp;ga_facet=vintage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Om Again Vintage<\/a> on Etsy, $225<\/p>\n<p><strong>Find More on ETSY:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/search\/vintage?search_submit=&amp;q=70s+victorian+wedding+dresses&amp;view_type=gallery&amp;ship_to=US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">70s Victorian wedding dresses<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/search\/vintage?search_submit=&amp;q=victorian+style+wedding+dresses&amp;view_type=gallery&amp;ship_to=US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Victorian style wedding dresses <\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ART_DECO_WEDDING_DRESSES\"><\/span>ART DECO WEDDING DRESSES<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-409009740\" src=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/the-fur-debate-how-to-be-sustainable-recycle-vintage-fur-for-good-causes-246.jpg\" width=\"540\" height=\"410\" alt=\"The Fur Debate: How to be Sustainable &#038; Recycle Vintage Fur for Good Causes\" title=\"The Fur Debate: How to be Sustainable &#038; Recycle Vintage Fur for Good Causes\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/the-fur-debate-how-to-be-sustainable-recycle-vintage-fur-for-good-causes-246.jpg 540w, https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/the-fur-debate-how-to-be-sustainable-recycle-vintage-fur-for-good-causes-246-500x380.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Source: Kristen Foht of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.raghouse.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Raghouse.com<\/a> \/ Her Grandmother Irene&#8217;s Wedding Portrait, February 5th, 1929\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>YOU&#8217;RE AN ART DECO BRIDE IF &#8230;<\/strong> you want a creatively inspired wedding dress that&#8217;s sexy and sheer enough to wear to the wedding&#8217;s after party (the one that follows the reception, that is!).<\/p>\n<p>Like the roaring &#8217;20s themselves, the Art Deco bride wants her big day to go down with the biggest celebratory bang possible &#8212; dress included!<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE DRESS:<\/strong>\u00a0When on the hunt for an Art Deco dress, think lots of lace, crystals, pearls, ruffles and a matching headpiece of similar embellishment.<\/p>\n<p>Channeling the era of Art Deco (the &#8217;20s-&#8217;40s) means that you can alternate between a floor length <em>or<\/em> knee length dress of choice.<\/p>\n<p>I love the idea of adopting the rebellious fashion choices of this era a la the shorter dress and no-waist style, but you can opt for a longer style or something with an empire waist that&#8217;s more tailored to your bod, too.<\/p>\n<p>A drop-waisted lace dress is perfect to serve as the &#8220;base&#8221; for Art Deco-inspired DIY embellishment. Find a seamstress who can decorate your dress with sequins, crystals and pearls. Or for the more daring, embellish your white dress with colors, like feathers or faux gems and other decorative stones. Perhaps the colors you choose can complement or match your bridesmaid dresses.<\/p>\n<p>Re-imagine and re-create the traditional wedding veil into a clouche-style hairpiece that rests on your head with lace spilling out from behind. Or, go totally DIY and create something more ornate with feathers attached to the side of a veiled headband.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-409009743\" src=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/the-fur-debate-how-to-be-sustainable-recycle-vintage-fur-for-good-causes-249.jpg\" width=\"540\" height=\"479\" alt=\"The Fur Debate: How to be Sustainable &#038; Recycle Vintage Fur for Good Causes\" title=\"The Fur Debate: How to be Sustainable &#038; Recycle Vintage Fur for Good Causes\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/the-fur-debate-how-to-be-sustainable-recycle-vintage-fur-for-good-causes-249.jpg 540w, https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/the-fur-debate-how-to-be-sustainable-recycle-vintage-fur-for-good-causes-249-500x444.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>BUY:<\/strong> &#8217;20s wedding dress by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dorotheasclosetvintage.com\/VintageWEDDINGDresses.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dorothea&#8217;s Closet<\/a>, $825<\/p>\n<p><strong>Find More on ETSY:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/search\/vintage?search_submit=&amp;q=art+deco+wedding+dress&amp;view_type=gallery&amp;ship_to=US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Art Deco wedding dress<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/search\/vintage?search_submit=&amp;q=1920s+wedding+dress&amp;view_type=gallery&amp;ship_to=US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">1920s wedding dress,<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/search\/vintage?search_submit=&amp;q=flapper+wedding+dress&amp;view_type=gallery&amp;ship_to=US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">flapper wedding dress<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"WARTIME_WEDDING_DRESSES\"><\/span>WARTIME WEDDING DRESSES<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-409009745\" src=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/the-fur-debate-how-to-be-sustainable-recycle-vintage-fur-for-good-causes-251.jpg\" width=\"540\" height=\"408\" alt=\"The Fur Debate: How to be Sustainable &#038; Recycle Vintage Fur for Good Causes\" title=\"The Fur Debate: How to be Sustainable &#038; Recycle Vintage Fur for Good Causes\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/the-fur-debate-how-to-be-sustainable-recycle-vintage-fur-for-good-causes-251.jpg 540w, https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/the-fur-debate-how-to-be-sustainable-recycle-vintage-fur-for-good-causes-251-500x378.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Source: (left) \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ElandRich\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">El Vocke Ozimek<\/a> \/ Her Parent&#8217;s September 12th, 1942 &#8212; (right) <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Miss-Match-China-Co\/204384182915845\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Miss Match China<\/a> \/ Her Grandmother during WWII<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>YOU&#8217;RE A WARTIME WEDDING BRIDE IF &#8230;<\/strong> the thought of wearing a traditional white dress makes you uncomfortable.

Rather than waste material to make a lavish gown, women were turning to the skirt and jacket suits already in their closets to wear on their big day.<\/p>\n<p>Since the wedding suit was a trend of the times in the &#8217;40s, wearing a &#8217;40s-&#8217;50s skirt suit is most appropriate to capture this style&#8217;s vintage essence. However, depending on what you&#8217;re looking for (a white suit, for example) you can find a wedding outfit from any vintage era to suit your &#8220;suit&#8221; needs!<\/p>\n<p>To break it down a la the &#8217;40s: The wedding suit jacket should have a single row of buttons down the front, with two side pockets and a V opening at the bottom of the jacket. The\u00a0skirt is high waisted and flares to the knee.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than wear a veil, wear a <a href=\"http:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/2011\/04\/kate-middleton-style-vintage-hats\/\">wedding day hat<\/a> that sits perched on your head.

You want your dress to remind your future little girl that she too can grow up to be a princess!<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE DRESS:<\/strong>\u00a0The epitome of a princess dress is all in the skirt.

You don&#8217;t mind taking on diva airs because after all, it&#8217;s your big day, and you deserve the spotlight!<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE DRESS: <\/strong>To best achieve the Hollywood bride-to-be glam, your dress absolutely must be of the shiniest satin material there is. Look for dresses made with top quality silk with that luxurious sheen. Try to avoid lace, since lace resonates with more &#8220;girl&#8221; than &#8220;glam.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Another key characteristic of a glam dress is that its &#8220;seamless.&#8221; This means it has no extra crinoline like tulle below and most likely a bias cut silk dress. Rather than puff, the dress grazes your butt, hips and then flares out slightly and drapes elegantly to the floor.<\/p>\n<p>Want to up the glam? Add a white fur (or faux!) cropped coat to wear over your dress during that awesome wedding photoshoot you have planned.\u00a0Or, look for a white <a href=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/vintage-style\/fur-types\/\">fur stole and pin it around your neck with a gold vintage<\/a> broach. Accessorize the rest of your dress with gold touches, like gold stud earrings or a gold jeweled tiara and dramatic veil.<\/p>\n<p>And we can&#8217;t forget the most important part: Your train! The longer the train, the more dramatic the effect. You&#8217;ll want to decide how long your train can be based on transportation (will it fit in your limo, in other words?) and who can hold it as you walk down the aisle.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-409009762\" src=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/the-fur-debate-how-to-be-sustainable-recycle-vintage-fur-for-good-causes-263.jpg\" width=\"540\" height=\"405\" alt=\"The Fur Debate: How to be Sustainable &#038; Recycle Vintage Fur for Good Causes\" title=\"The Fur Debate: How to be Sustainable &#038; Recycle Vintage Fur for Good Causes\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/the-fur-debate-how-to-be-sustainable-recycle-vintage-fur-for-good-causes-263.jpg 540w, https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/the-fur-debate-how-to-be-sustainable-recycle-vintage-fur-for-good-causes-263-500x375.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>BUY:<\/strong> Hollywood-glam inspired wedding dress by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/77266099\/stunning-liquid-satin-1940s-wedding-gown?ref=sr_gallery_6&amp;sref=&amp;ga_search_submit=&amp;ga_search_query=wedding+dress+hollywood+glamour&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_ship_to=US&amp;ga_page=2&amp;ga_search_type=vintage&amp;ga_facet=vintage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mel&#8217;s Vanity<\/a> on Etsy, $248<\/p>\n<p><strong>Find More on ETSY: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/search\/vintage?search_submit=&amp;q=40s+silk+wedding+dress&amp;view_type=gallery&amp;ship_to=US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">40s silk wedding dress<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/search\/vintage?search_submit=&amp;q=40s+glam+wedding+dress&amp;view_type=gallery&amp;ship_to=US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">40s glam wedding dress<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/search\/vintage?search_submit=&amp;q=long+train+wedding+dress&amp;order=most_relevant&amp;ship_to=US&amp;view_type=gallery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">long train wedding dress<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"MOD_WEDDING_DRESSES\"><\/span>MOD WEDDING DRESSES<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-409009764\" src=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/the-fur-debate-how-to-be-sustainable-recycle-vintage-fur-for-good-causes-264.jpg\" width=\"540\" height=\"533\" alt=\"The Fur Debate: How to be Sustainable &#038; Recycle Vintage Fur for Good Causes\" title=\"The Fur Debate: How to be Sustainable &#038; Recycle Vintage Fur for Good Causes\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/the-fur-debate-how-to-be-sustainable-recycle-vintage-fur-for-good-causes-264.jpg 540w, https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/the-fur-debate-how-to-be-sustainable-recycle-vintage-fur-for-good-causes-264-500x494.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Source: Carla Rey\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/CarlaAndCarla\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Carla &amp; Carla on Etsy<\/a> \/ Her Mother 1964<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>YOU&#8217;RE A MOD BRIDE\u00a0IF &#8230;<\/strong> you wake up everyday feeling bold, bright and beautiful.

It stops at the knee or if you dare, shorter!<\/p>\n<p>The sleeve style is short or none at all. The fit is a shift dress style (slight A-line flare) or completely waistless and free, like a &#8217;60s tent dress.<\/p>\n<p>Mod girls dig their white dresses, but they have more playful detail, like a scalloped hem, textured design or faint stripes.<\/p>\n<p>Bows, ribbon and other sweet accents can give your dress a more playful, girlie feel. It&#8217;s all about finding a dress that&#8217;s just not so serious. And the best part?

It&#8217;s a little big country, a little bit gypsy and a whole lot of homespun.\u00a0Lace dresses in ivory or cream are preferred &#8212; white is too traditional and obviously, more easy to dirty when getting hitched outside!<\/p>\n<p>A deep v-neck, an empire waist and loose lace sleeves are ideal details for a <a href=\"http:\/\/quarterlife202.com\/2010\/05\/25\/q-and-a-finding-a-vintage-wedding-gown-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rustic vintage wedding dress.<\/a>\u00a0The dress skirt flares and can end with a ruffle for a slight Victorian touch.<\/p>\n<p>The dress probably doesn&#8217;t hit the floor but rather stops right around your ankles. Wear your dress with nude, slightly elevated heels or even a pair of vintage\u00a0espadrilles. Don&#8217;t dig shoes? Paint your toenails and go barefoot!<\/p>\n<p>Add a crown of flowers to your hair, and you&#8217;ve got yourself a happy, healthy look.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-409009771\" src=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/the-fur-debate-how-to-be-sustainable-recycle-vintage-fur-for-good-causes-269.jpg\" width=\"540\" height=\"533\" alt=\"The Fur Debate: How to be Sustainable &#038;
