Our selection of vintage-inspired wedding dresses from five different brands:
Daisy Dapper - Romantic vintage style wedding dress with lace in a classic 1950s look
The beautiful wedding dress from Daisy Dapper is a fantastic, hand-sewn dress with a full overlay in romantic floral lace. The dress is a classic, waist-cut swing dress with a strapless sweetheart neckline, which is instead held up by the beautiful lace that covers your décolleté, but still puts a discreet focus on it. The waist is really in focus in this beautiful dress, and if you want extra focus on the waist, you can wear the dress with a petticoat underneath, which gives extra fullness to the skirt!
House of Foxy - Romantic 1940s bride or Late 1950s look a la Brigitte Bardot
We have a total of three vintage wedding dresses from House of Foxy - an adorable 1940s dress with a-line skirt and an elegant late 1950s dress with lace top, available in both pencil and swing skirt model!
House of Foxy has created the adorable 1940s tea dress in a pure white exclusively for Mondo Kaos, and we think it's perfect for the romantic vintage bride! The dress is cut below the bust for a beautiful fall in the period a-line skirt, has fine, classic puff sleeves with edging, and the most beautiful draping over the shoulders and bosom, giving an authentic 1940s wedding look. The second model from House of Foxy is designed with inspiration from the wedding dress worn by Brigitte Bardot in the film 'Come Dance with me' in 1959, which is clearly seen in the bodice's adorable lace overlay that covers the décolleté and shoulders with a very high neckline , and continues into an elegant, full-length sleeve. The dress has a wide waist piece that really puts the shapes in focus, regardless of whether you are into the classic 1950s swing skirt, which you can advantageously wear with a petticoat underneath, for extra volume, or whether you are into simple, body-hugging pencil skirts that was the starting point for the simpler wedding look of the 1960s.

Pretty Dress Company - 1950s bridal silhouette with modern, 'clean' finish
From Pretty Dress Company, we have selected three different models of ours vintage wedding dresses; a swing dress with "turn-around" effect at the top and swing skirt, Same model but in a tailored pencil cut, and a swing dress with 3/4 sleeves. All three models are very simple and clean in their designs, giving an elegant 1950s look that really attracts attention.
The beautiful swing dress has a classic waist-cut cut and a beautiful "wrap-around" neckline, as well as small sleeves that just cover the top of the arms4 and shoulders.
The pencil dress has the same beautiful upper that focuses on the waist and creates a beautiful hourglass silhouette. The first two dresses are also available in white with either yellow or pink roses that break the classic white look.
The swing dress with 3/4 sleeves is waist-cut and with an elegant, slightly pleated swing skirt that highlights the waist, while the décolleté and neck are beautifully framed by the pointed sweetheart neckline that helps to put the waist in focus.
We recommend that you wear the swing models with a petticoat underneath, which gives extra volume and thus emphasizes the hourglass figure further.

Vintage hair and makeup for the bride?
There are many different options when it comes to styling the vintage bride's hair and makeup - in the 1940s 'Hollywood waves' and "victory rolls" were popular, in the 1950s it was the sexy Marilyn Monroe curls that were in, and in the 1960s, the beautiful, tall "beehive" made its entrance and lifted hair fashion to new heights!
The makeup of the three decades first focused on a matte skin, dark lips and eyes with liner and mascara on only the top lash line and lashes in the 1940s. Then the fashion changed to 'the winged eyeliner' (though still without liner and mascara on the lower part!) And mathende red lips and nails, and then to go all in on the eyes in the 1960s, with liner and mascara on both the top and lower lash line - all while the lips were understated and neutral.
