Vintage Wedding Dress - Tips for selecting the perfect gown | New ...
Whether you’re a hopeless romantic or eternally sentimental, enamored of the glamour of a bygone era or possessing kooky retro sensibilities, a vintage gown could fulfill your wedding dress dreams. Vintage gowns are not only well suited to brides who wish to wrap themselves in history on their wedding day, but also to those who long for something truly different from what “everyone else” is doing. If you’d like to wear vintage on your big day, here are seven things you must know before you make your purchase.
1. Know your budget.
When many people hear the word “vintage,” they think “cheap” or “inexpensive.” However, when you’re talking vintage wedding gowns, this is not often the case. Authentic gowns from the 1800s to mid-1900s can run thousands of dollars. The better the condition of the gown, the higher the price tag as well. Many a bride has experienced the disappointment of falling in love with a wedding gown she cannot afford. Make sure you are not one of them. Set a firm budget for your dress, repairs and alterations before you begin to shop.Â

Exhibit features heirloom wedding dresses from Iowa
A new exhibit called “Somewhere in Time” at the Iowa Genealogical Society highlights some historical wedding wear. You may’ve seen some of the shows on TV that follow harried brides as they agonize over the selection and cost of their wedding dresses.
The Genealogical Society takes a more toned down approach that looks the history of heirloom wedding dresses from across the state. While today’s dresses are predominately white with all the lace and frills, society spokesperson, Alice Veen, says you’ll see dresses in this exhibit that are more practical.
Veen says white was not the popular color for wedding dresses until Queen Victoria wore that color in her wedding in the mid-1800′s.
She says even after that, brides couldn’t afford to buy a white gown and wear it only once. Veen says her grandmother for example, was married in 1919 and wore a blue wedding dress that she could later wear on the job as a teacher.
The exhibit includes vintage photos and wedding stories along with the dresses. The oldest dress dates back to 1863 from a woman who was married in Massachusetts.
