"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!

1930's Hollywood Glamour, Marlene Dietrich

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.

The 1920's was all about change. Skirts started off long in the beginning of the decade, then moved to just below the knee in the later half. Fashion was tubular with high contrasting colors and inspirations were pulled from Paul Poiret, & Coco Chanel.

Gone was the corset (yippie) and woman wore clothing with more simplicity than the previous La Belle Epoque. There even was a blouse that was called the "pneumonia" blouse because of it's deep V-neckline! Waistlines were dropped and the S-curve was replaced with a natural or flat chest.

Jenny Packham's Fall 2011 Bridal gown line is heavily inspired by the 1920's. Here are our favorite picks and the Vitani MEG Jewelry Collection to go along!
