Wedding Fashion, From Then Until Now

January 4, 2011 in Brides,Dresses,Wedding Dresses with 1 Comment

If you, like me, love wedding fashion, you just have to check out the Victoria and Albert Museum‘s growing database of photographs of clothes worn for weddings between 1840 and the present.

Browsing the collection as it currently stands is the best part, but you can also participate in building the wedding fashion database by uploading your own images of weddings (and civil partnerships) from the past or the present. All they ask is that you include the year of the event and the names of the participants, along with the location of the wedding, if possible. You can upload up to three images, with at least one that focuses on the details of the bride’s dress or the groom’s attire.

Who knows, you might just find – or give someone – the inspiration necessary to plan the perfect period wedding!
