The 1915 wedding dress is embellished with lacy pieces such as the sleeves and the veil. Elbow-length gloves are in white which complemented the elegance of the dress made in silk. The bride does not have much of a skin yet bares her face with a much more natural makeup.

Jumped into the 1920s, the wedding dress is trimmed shorter than a decade ago and shows a bit of a skin with its V-neckline and sleeveless style. Veils aren’t still crossed out in the attire. Hence, the bride crowned her head with a see-through veil and accessorized with pearls.

1935 is all about floor-length wedding dresses and lace still takes over. The style is a simpler ensemble with its straight cut and lesser skin. The veil in the crown makes it classier yet chic.

The bride’s figure is more accentuated with a fitted waistline and lower neckline. The 1945 wedding dress is styled in long sleeves with pleated and puffed shoulders which made the design simple yet elegant. The look is more captivating with pearls pairing it with red lips and light eye makeup.

Forwarded to 1955, the wedding dress went back to laces and long sleeves. It showed off a Sabrina cut which heightens the bride’s neckline making it look appealing but not daring. Pearls are still in and make it more classic. Crowns no more as the bridal look finishes it off with a capped veil.

Down to 1985, the wedding fashion is like putting a twist from the 1975 wedding dress. It is finely embedded with pearl-like beads which cover the sleeves and the collar. The dress is high-collared which but not fully enclose the neckline with its see-through cloth. The look is less natural with bolder shades of eye, cheek, and lip makeup.
1995 Wedding Dresses

The 1995 wedding dress is a real head-turner. The off-shouldered wedding dress didn’t need the beads and laces to make it look more elegant. The pleated waistline and wider skirt range enhance the bride’s beautiful body figure. To top it all off, the veil is placed on the bride’s hair bun.
2005 Wedding Dresses

Getting much nearer to the present, 2005 showed more skin with the strapless satin wedding dress. It is a straight cut but drapes the back side of the gown. The heart-shaped neckline is more revealing but breathtakingly stunning. Less accessories and no veil make all the eyes on to the bride’s incredible beauty.
2015 Wedding Dresses

2015 is the combination of all the pieces from the past years. From the lace, beads, and florals up to the see-through veils – everything just went so well, piece by piece. The wedding dress is trimmed with a lace design, styled with short sleeves, and added with a belt-like beaded piece that gives emphasis to the bride’s figure.
