Vintage Weddings: One Hundred Years of Bridal Fashion and Style

A Book by: Marnie Fogg

Vintage Weddings: One Hundred Years of Bridal Fashion and Style is a well-priced overview of wedding dresses starting at the beginning of the 1900s. Marnie Fogg takes the reader on a decade-by-decade tour of wedding dresses and styles, as well as giving the fashion a broader social context. Each decade is generously illustrated with photography of the gowns, as well as with magazine illustrations and stills of weddings from the decade in focus. More than a just a wedding book, Vintage Weddings is a fashion book and has a foreword by renowned English designer, Bruce Oldfield.

On a practical level Vintage Weddings also has a list at the end of each chapter that notes important elements of each era for those seeking to replicate the ambience of the time. As well, Fogg provides a wedding planner guide for prospective couples who seriously want to attempt to re-create a period wedding.

Vintage Weddings is the latest in a series that now includes Vintage Fashion, Vintage Shoes and Vintage Knits.

You can purchase this book from Crow Books in Victoria Park.
