Wedding Gown Style: Old Hollywood Glamour
For the past few nights I’ve been entrenched in finding some old hollywood glamour inspired wedding gowns. I really love the classic silhouettes of screen sirens past, and fully believe that it is every woman’s right to channel Rita Hayworth or Marylin Monroe on her wedding day! Some elements you should look for in a gown if you are planning an old hollywood based soiree are sweet-heart necklines with mermaid, drop-waist, and curve accentuating gowns. Stick with satin, Silk-charmeuse and Chantilly lace. Delicate bead work and crystals are also a signature component of this style. I also recommend a faux fur or feather shawl to add an extra bit of glam!

Marvelous article!
The dress listed as being a David’s Bridal gown, can you give me further details? I cannot seem to find that specific dress anywhere on David’s Bridals’ website. Can you assist me? It’s the picture of the blonde woman sitting down with the spaghetti strap dress with silver flower embellishments.
Hi Dawn!
I sent you an email but I wanted to leave a comment here too. I found details on that specific dress here: http://www.brides.com/fashion/dresses/gallery/wedding_dresses/editorspick/detail/169047?f=1541%3a1546&offset=148#_chip=0
I hope that helps!
