The winter bridal runways were filled with romantic throwback trends, from ‘20s flapper feathers to ‘90s satin, with a whole lot of ‘70s crochet and disco sheen and ‘80s-appropriate Laura Ashley–style florals in between. Of course, there were some modern touches, too, like edgy cutouts and gothic black gowns. Here, 46 favorites that can go straight from the runway to the reception.
