Here is the second to last article in the period drama wedding gown series. This time, I’m covering the early to mid 20th century period drama wedding gowns. The pre-war era, roaring 2o’s, and the golden age of Hollywood presented us with many beautiful gown designs. Period dramas set during this era had a certain romantic glow that was reflected in their gowns. Furthermore, many of these gowns have a simplistic glamour that you won’t find in other eras. Indeed, whether simple or glamorous, they are all lovely and reflective of the style of the time period. The gowns in this list are truly a mix of elegance and romance.
