1920's


The 1920's Women could now vote!! They celebrated by cutting their hair into short flirty bobs as well as wearing shorter and looser gowns in addition to ridding themselves of restrictive corsets. At this time Jeanne Lanvin and Coco Chanel rose to the top and introduced knee length wedding gowns. They paired the traditional bridal fabrics with full veils.

Here on the left is a short wedding gown with a long veil made popular by Coco Chanel which started the flapper brides!

If you would like to get your own Short but Modern Wedding Gown, Anglo Couture has this beautiful short length wedding gown called Artemis. Artemis Wedding Gown is made with a Chiffon and a light silk liner that makes the gown soft on the skin and easy to move in. Some brides loves this gown so much that they make it their Rehearsal Dinner Gown.

Call now to make your own gown at 727 526-5800 or e-mail info@anglocoutureline.com.

Prim & Proper 1900's

Most woman in the 1900's loved the high necklines, long sleeves and ethereal floor-length veils. For the first time, clothing manufacturers produced elaborate, ready-made wedding gowns for a growing and social conscious middle class.

In 1905, Eleanor and Franklin D. Roosevelt were married March 17, 1905. Her Victorian Style reflected the modesty of the times: stiff, heavy satin and shirred tulle, with a high neck, long sleeves, and a cinched waist.


Anglo Couture has taken the high neck line but created a more romantic modern gown. Here is Anglo Couture's Zoe Gown. This gown is made out of Chiffon with a light silk liner that makes it soft on the skin and easy to move in.

1800's The first white Bridal Gown

The 1800's changed the way we look at Wedding Gowns today.

The first half of the nineteenth century, royal brides continued to use luxurious fabrics in tones of silver and red. The commoners would follow in their footsteps by wearing other various colors and floral patterns.

In 1840, Queen Victoria of England was the first to wear an all-white bridal ensemble. She wore a rich white satin gown adorned with orange blossoms and an eighteen foot train with veil of Honiton lace. Queen Victoria wore a matching wreath on her head that incorporated orange blossoms with entwined diamonds.


At Anglo Couture, we have this beautiful wedding gown made with the finest lace. This gown is Anglo Couture's Pavlina Gown. The Pavilna gown is made with Alencon Lace and has a sweet heart neckline embellished with a Silk Dutchess belt and brooch.
