From museum-worthy Chanel couture to lacy thrift shop slips, the best vintage wedding dresses worn to tie the knot.
Something old, something new; something borrowed, something blue—so the saying goes. For some brides, the first of those auspicious points might mean securing a pair of antique pearl studs into your ears. But for the daring, it means a 1979 Azzaro gown with exaggerated semi-sheer sleeves—as was the case for Chloe Kernaghan. For others, like Grace Morton, it means wearing a vintage pink Chanel haute couture skirt set from 1999 to your rehearsal dinner.
A scroll back through our Vogue Weddings archives reveals a collection of brides wearing everything from precious couture to thrift store lace slips. The appeal? A bride not only gets to exhibit her fashion prowess with an archival IYKYK piece, but she can also almost guarantee that no other bride will be in her dress. Though a vintage wedding dress comes with strings attached—there might be repairs, unalterable elements, or imperfections due to age, the upside is endless.
