Modern vintage, made for you
A vintage inspired bridal gown gives you the look of a true vintage wedding dress without the hunt, the restoration or the fragile fabric. These retro wedding dresses are made to order in your size, with production times listed on each product page. Most made-to-order gowns take 3 to 9 months, so we recommend starting your search early.
Shopping in Los Angeles? Book an appointment at our Santa Monica bridal boutique to try on vintage style wedding dresses in person, or ask us about a virtual fitting. Finish the look with a cathedral veil, bridal gloves or pearl bridal jewelry.
Vintage inspired wedding dress FAQs
What is a vintage inspired wedding dress?
It is a new wedding gown designed with details from past decades, such as a corset bodice, a drop or basque waist, antique-style lace or a tea length hem. Unlike a true vintage wedding dress, which is pre-owned, it is made new for you.
Which vintage wedding dress style suits my wedding?
A tea length or drop waist dress suits a garden, courthouse or daytime wedding. A corset ball gown or an Old Hollywood satin gown with a long train suits a formal evening, church or ballroom wedding. Not sure? Email team@maebridal.com and we will help you choose.
How far ahead should I order a vintage style wedding dress?
Plan on 3 to 9 months for a made-to-order gown, plus time for alterations. Check each product page for its lead time.
