This Is What Weddings Looked Like The Year You Were Born

I LOVE watching Say Yes To The Dress, but I always find myself feeling sympathetic when a bride's family urges her to wear her mom's (or grandma's) old gown. Some of the looks are still fabulous – like flower crowns and lace sleeves — but others should stay in their respective eras (lookin' at you, shoulder pads). 

Everything about weddings — especially the dresses — has changed so much over the years; it's kind of funny to look back and see what we thought was ~fashionable~ back in the day. Check out this gallery of wedding photos from 1975 to 2000 and see if trends from the year you were born are still around today!
