It’s perhaps no surprise that some of the hottest dress designs on the market are 50s inspired. Tea length wedding dresses and bateau necklines are right on trend – and if you’re looking for a vintage theme, the fabulous fifties is a stylish, traditional and quintessentially British decade.

Check out our edit of 10 fantastic 1950s wedding dresses – just don’t forget your fascinator!

Eliza - Timeless Chic

The Timeless Chic aesthetic is inspired by 50s design with a focus on curves and femininity. The calf-length Eliza dress is made in satin with a halter style sweetheart neckline and lovely lace appliqué. In true 50s tradition it has a fitted underskirt and is a great choice for a bride of any age.

Bardot - Ivory and Co

Taken from the Heritage Collection at Ivory and Co, this gorgeous gown has lashings of 1950s elegance with a contemporary twist. The bodice is made with heavy 100% silk taffeta and it has a dainty tulle skirt with a French corded lace waistband. The pretty design from Ivory and Co is available as a full length dress as well as in classic 50s tea length.

Style 8815 - Justin Alexander

This 1950s vintage-inspired, tulle, tea length ball gown from Justin Alexander has a silk dupion band accented with a bow, cinching the waistline for a figure-flattering look. The beautiful nude shade gives it a modern twist and contrasts beautifully with the ivory lace detailing. Wear with blush shoes and accessories for a soft and chic finish.

Lily - So Sassi

A tea length dress lends itself perfectly to an asymmetric (or high-low) hemline. This dress from the So Sassi collection is super cute thanks to the sheer overlay skirt – with 50s-friendly polka dots - and the bow detail at the back. Reflect these details with your shoes and choose a stunning crystal necklace to highlight the strapless sweetheart neckline.

Faith - Tobi Hannah

This Tobi Hannah dress is all about the bows – and the styling shown here even incorporates the detail into the model’s hair. Bows were big in the 50s, but if you don’t want to plump for such a bold hairstyle, consider an oversized bow accessory for your hair, or a 50s inspired fascinator with a big, bow detail.

Dame Dulcie - Kitty and Dulcie

Lace is a lovely fabric for a 50s style dress. The delightful Dame Dulcie dress from Kitty and Dulcie is all over lace with a v-shaped, scalloped neckline and elbow length sleeves over a full-circle petticoat and satin underskirt. With lots of vintage charm - and “major twirl factor” – this dress is also a steal at just £350.
