Choosing a Vintage Wedding Dress

It goes without saying that a vintage wedding dress should definitely be special. It is the most beautiful dress a woman owns and it is for the day that a woman looks her loveliest. It is no wonder that a lot of time and effort goes into its selection, and it should always be meaningful. It is now more popular than ever to look for a vintage dress. There are some good reasons to do this.

First of all, a vintage wedding dress might be more cost effective, and still have the rich look that brides want on their wedding day. The older gowns were made better, with superior materials and workmanship that time has only served to embellish. A wedding dress that has the lovely ivory fade puts the $99.00, out the door discontinued markdown dress to shame, hands down.

Choosing a vintage wedding dress gives the bride more options for individuality. A wedding theme can be built around a wedding gown that has some antiquity to it and it creates a special aura in and of itself. The search for the wedding gown is probably one of the most exciting aspects of the wedding preparations. Some of the most beautiful gowns have been retrieved from thrift stores, yard sales, and even the backs of grandmother's closets. There are also online vintage stores that sell vintage clothing exclusively. There a lot of ways to obtain the beautiful gown that you want for the price that you want.

Another option would be to also get a gown that has been gently used and do the rehab-ing yourself, yet another wonderful wedding journey that can be photographed along the way and the scrapbook shown at the reception. The search for the perfect vintage wedding dress can be utterly one of the best parts before the special day.
