At a wedding in the 2000s, an ensemble from any decade could make an appearance as the bride walks down the aisle. A 1990s sheath, a 1980s princess ball gown, or a 1970s hippie frock were all extremely popular, while many went back to truly embrace retro dresses, from 1960s minis to 1950s tea-lengths. Some can even go as far back as a 1920s flapper girl outfit (with a headpiece to match!) or a 1900s high-necked Victorian. Brides searched for the dress style that was unique and perfect for them, and were no longer held back by societal norms for color or style. Light pink and light blue dresses became more popular, as well as the huge popularity of form-fitting and hip-hugging dresses. The beginning of the new millennium saw the groundbreaking introduction of the strapless wedding gown! We threw off the chains of trend, and embraced inspiration from our parents, grandparents, and our retro idols. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The pop princess, Britney Spears, and her former backup dancer, Kevin Federline, married in a surprise wedding in September 2004. Brit famously broke from tradition and popped the question to Federline on her private plane! The couple invited their guests to an assumed \u201cengagement party<\/a>,\u201d and they arrived only to find Spears in a $26,000 silk strapless Monique Lhuillier wedding dress. Her sleek gown was made totally 2000s Britney by her accessories: lace half-gloves, matching necklace, and a cathedral-length veil.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
