Fashion inevitably comes back around and bridal trends are no different.
A group of Echuca creatives have taken a walk down memory lane capturing wedding gowns through the decades.
Using real dresses worn by brides as early as 1929, the photoshoot recreates vintage wedding day looks with a modern twist on the hair, makeup and bouquet styles of the era.
Whether you are searching for a brand new dress or considering wearing a family heirloom on your big day, vintage gowns are a wealth of inspiration.
