1920s and 1930s wedding dresses were sophisticated, elegant, and modestly sexy gowns inspired by Old Hollywood fashion. Bridesmaid dresses mimicked the bridal gown silhouette in soft pastels, gold, silver or rich gem tones. For daytime weddings, they were often featured wearing floral prints with bouquets to match. Mothers of the bride and groom wore the current fashions of the day for an entire wedding party that was dressed to the nines.
