What Did Brides Wear in the 1920s?

Brides in the 1920s were more willing to take fashion risks on their wedding day than those that came before them. They often experimented with dress lengths and silhouettes — and were totally OK with donning flashy beading, sequins, and sparkle.

Bridal gown trends of the time included, but were not limited to: Looser fits, drop waists, Art Deco patterns, deep-v, cowl, and bateau necklines, and corset-style bodices. Embellishments, such as feathers, fur, or beaded fringe along a gown's bodice and hemline, were also popular.

For accessories, women would sometimes wear a flashy headpiece, such as a wedding veil or cloche-style hat, and it was also common to have a cape covering the shoulders.

What Were Weddings Like in the 1920s?

You best believe weddings in the 1920s were one big party. After all, we are talking about the Jazz Age, a time in our history when lively jazz music (hence, the name "Jazz Age") and flashy dance styles rapidly gained nationwide fame.

A big reason brides would opt for more comfortable fitting dresses is because they wanted to be able to dance and do "The Charleston" all night long.

Weddings during this era were affairs that incorporated all of the fun, fashion, and culture of the '20s.
