Over the past decade, while music may be crazier, the tabloids more exposing, and the culture more liberal on "socially acceptable" practices, the wedding has seen a shift back in time. At the beginning of the 21st century, brides embraced the strapless, satin wedding gown. True, they were beautiful, but old-fashioned lace is hard to surpass. I look at pictures from my grandmothers' weddings and marvel at the class and elegance in their wedding attire and environment. Sometimes I wish I could go back to those days and attend a wedding in the Forties or Fifties. I must admit, that although I love the glamour and glitz of the 21st century, I am excited about a potential reversion to lace, modesty, and simple elegance in the wedding.
