"The Golden Age of Hollywood" Bride

As you have noticed, here on the MEG Jewelry blog we have following different decades and what trends inspired bridal fashion. So far we have covered pre 1900, 1910 La Bella Epoque, and the 1920's bride. Inspired so far?

Continuing our journey, we now move into the 1930's when the female silhouette returns to the natural shape instead of the tubular fashions of the 1920's. We see draped designs that sweep the floor. "The Golden Age of Hollywood" movie influences had a incredible impact on fashion. Feminine details such as ruffles, cowl necklines, halters, and backless gowns were the go-to trends. America was knee-deep in The Depression which led to the popularity of the movies. People could escape!

Even though we featured Jenny Packham last week, Packham is spot on for 1920's and 1930's fashion. Here are two glamorous designs from her Spring/Summer 2011 Line.
