Inspiration from the past

So I have spent many hours looking at lovely wedding dresses online for inspiration (and as procrastination from homework!). Some of my favorite designs that I have found online are clearly inspired from the 1920s and 1930's.
I love the intricate detail, amazing Spanish lace, and creamy color of Yolan Cris's dresses! Unfortunately, even if I wanted to buy one I couldn't since they are only sold in Europe. I think the first one here is my favorite :)






I am also in love with Jenny Packham's dresses. The flowing satin and tasteful beading and crystals are so nice!I love the 1930's fitted styles and true waist-level belts. And also again, lots of these pretty dresses are sold in Europe.



And from BHLDN (same company behind Free People and Anthropologie). Very interesting and fun dresses!

    I love the Jenny Packham ones!! I feel pretty inept when it comes to design.... I know when I like what I see, but I don't know if I have any ideas to contribute. I think you're going in the right direction though. The 20s/30s look is my favorite, too. You're going to look so beautiful!

    I also want to make my own dress. I also love jenny packhams style. I just cant seem to find any beading patters that resemble that 20s art deco style. I'm looking for someting that looks like it cam out of the great gatsby. could you help?
