Wedding dress styles have seen many changes throughout the years. From black dresses all the way back to the 1900s, the flapper, Gatsby styles in the ’20s, the trumpet style dresses of the ’50s to short dresses in the ’60s and the very detailed ’80s dresses.
However, these seven brides have managed to keep it classic and still set the trend and inspiration for many dresses now, and for the future.
