A bridal gown is considered vintage when it reflects the styles and trends of a past era, typically from 20 to 100 years ago

This A-line dress features a flattering V-neckline, delicate straps, and a beautifully corset-style bodice for an elegant look

Styles that respect the dress structure tend to hold their shape better and photograph more consistently throughout the night

Burgundy , deep greens, and even some shades of blue can be both festive and sophisticated

Jewelry: Since fall colors are often "warm," gold jewelry is a natural partner

To add an extra sprinkling of cheer and a different point of view I enlisted fellow style writer Nicola Fumo to join me on Mission: Party Dress
