You might have seen your mother in her wedding dress, but what about your grandmother’s? I searched Instagram for those intriguing vintage wedding dress styles ♡

Mother's Generation ♡ (1970s–1980s)

First, let's introduce the wedding dress styles of the mother’s generation who raised us all this time ♡

The large puff sleeves are a characteristic of the dresses from the mother’s generation ♡ They are so fluffy, almost like Princess Giselle from “Enchanted” ♩

The floral lace adorning the wrists is so beautiful * We should also pay attention to how a bit shy mom and dad look together ♡

Grandmother's Generation ♡ (1950s–1960s)

Now, let’s showcase the wedding dresses from the grandmother's generation ♩ Also, check out the black-and-white photos instead of color ones from that era ♡

It’s not often you get to see pictures of your grandmother when she was young * Seeing this photo of her in her youth is a bit thrilling ♡

Unlike today, wedding dresses in the past didn’t have much exposure like sleeveless or strapless options; those with sleeves were the norm ♩

The large bouquet that seems like it might fall and the flowing train are so gorgeous * You can hardly tell it’s a black-and-white photo ♩

The expressions on my grandparents’ faces, both a little nervous, are so endearing ♡

Celebrity Wedding Dresses are Lovely Too ♡

This is a wedding photo of actress Marilyn Monroe from around the 1950s ♩ It’s so cute to see Marilyn blushing after being kissed by her husband ♡

Here’s the wedding of Audrey Hepburn, who was active in the same era as Marilyn Monroe ♩ The bishop sleeves that gently flow and the tightly tied waist ribbon are distinctive ♡
