If you want inspiration for your 2024 and 2025 wedding trends, you simply need to take note of the moody and timeless wedding inspiration from years past. Today’s brides are leaning into beloved bridal eras like the old hollywood glamor of birdcage veils in the ‘40s and the ‘70s stylish vintage getaway cars. Whether you want your wedding day to reflect a certain time period, or you simply want a timeless wedding aesthetic, exploring fashion and decor from previous decades will provide endless possibilities.

Timeless Wedding Dress Inspiration

We often hear brides speak about to their desire to find a ‘timeless wedding dress’. While this statement can mean something slightly different to everyone, it often signals that the bridal gown they are looking for should feature predominantly ageless bridal details. These details can be present in certain design elements or even fabrics.

Where to Find a Timeless Wedding Dress?

Wondering where to find a timeless wedding dress? If you’re having trouble finding this type of bridal gown, there are certain keywords that may help you. For example, using similar descriptors like elegant bridal gownsimple elegant wedding dress, and even classic wedding dresses should help you discover bridal styles and designers that meet your classic criteria. You can also keep an eye out for common timeless wedding dress fabrics like satin, mikado, taffeta, and silk.

Timeless Eva Lendel Wedding Dress

The timeless Eva Lendel wedding dress in this styled shoot is ‘Lanvee’. Lanvee has a slightly modern flair thanks to its fully beaded embroidery. Lanvee’s detachable ‘Lanvee Skirt’ adds a traditional appearance to this glamorous wedding gown. The removable skirt creates an a-line silhouette and finishes off the back of the gown with an oversized bridal bow.

Classic Bridal Accessories

This elevated bridal look is reinforced with classic bridal accessories. Since the gown has a strapless neckline, wearing a bold pearl choker adds interest and an antique element. Many brides choose to incorporate a family heirloom such as a passed down veil, wedding jewelry, or other sentimental object. These classic bridal accessories, whether borrowed or new, bring character to the overall wedding outfit.

Relaxed Button Down Bridal Outfit

Another outfit that brides pour their energy into is the getting ready look. This trend began with matching bride and bridesmaids robes and slowly grew in popularity thanks to the rise of matching pajama sets, loungewear, sweatsuits, and more.

Recently, modern brides have begun to opt for timeless bridal outfits to take their bridal suite photos in. Wanting a no-fuss wedding morning, we’re seeing more brides wear lace nightgowns or relaxed button down bridal outfits as they get ready.

Effortless Bow Wedding Decor

Effortless bow wedding decor is a popular trend that is easy to execute and adds romanticism to any wedding table. At this styled shoot in Denver, Colorado, skinny black ribbons were tied to the bottom of the couple’s champagne flutes. If you want a less modern bow wedding decoration, you can tie a thicker ribbon and place it on the top plate of every place setting.

Vintage-Inspired Wedding Cake With Berries

A black bow also made an appearance on this vintage-inspired wedding cake. This vintage wedding cake was a simple, one tier dessert, adorned with wild berries on top. Placed in the center of the table, a small vintage cake is the perfect way to celebrate your retro elopement, wedding evening, or intimate nuptials in style.
