Finally, a few tips will help you to choose and make the most from your 1920's fall wedding dress. Styles that have a particularly 1920's look include fitted bodices and fishtail skirts. The veils were quite a feature in 1920's weddings; like the skirts, they had lots of flowing fabric for a romantic look. Some brides wore wedding hats instead of veils, the height of 1920s style.
Wearing hair in a 1920's style is the perfect accompaniment to the dress. A short bob with soft curls is one of the most classic looks.
In 1920's style, makeup is dramatic but still delicate. Accentuate the eyes with mascara that will make your lashes look long and full. Comb eyebrows gently into place but do not overpluck. This will help to frame your face and draw attention to your eyes. Lips are another area of focus; Reds, from deep earthy tones to bright shades, were used in the 1920s.
Accessories can compliment your 1920's look. Choose a small lace or beaded purse to compliment your dress. Bridal bouquets in the 1920's tended to be overflowing. You can copy the look by consulting vintage 1920's wedding photos.
