Welcome to Sylvia's Bridal Image Parlor

Last Updated: 6/7/98 (Added a new bridal site on the links page.)

Click here to read about this update.

This site is dedicated to anyone who appreciates brides and wedding gowns. We don't sell dresses, plan weddings, take photographs or bake wedding cakes, but we are in love with the whole bridal experience. Here in these pages we present a selection of our favorite bridal images for your enjoyment and appreciation. They span many years of changing styles, and are divided into sets of four, to keep loading time to a minimum. The Parlor is updated regularly.

We now accept submissions by U.S. Mail! Read all about it!

Bridesmaids & Formals


Skirting the Issue
For a 'beneath-the-scenes' look at what's supporting the full skirts of these beautiful gowns, visit Crinolyn's Bridal Slip Pages (courtesy of Tessy's Petticoat Pond.)
A Revealing Look
Our parlor guest, "K", contributed this fascinating feature, which gives us a glimpse into many a male wedding guest's fantasy of the blushing bride. The mind's eye may reveal more than just the beautiful appliques supplied by the gown designer...

A Revealing Look, Part 2
By popular request, more see-through images for your enjoyment.

Bridal Toonery

Our DESKTOP BRIDES

Bridal wallpaper for your desktop: A 640 x 480 pixel image of the beautiful brides shown below can adorn your PC's monitor every day. These are jpeg images you'll need to convert to suit your platform. Click on the pictures, and take the Parlor home with you. (The petticoated image is courtesy of our friend, Crinolyn, whom we thank heartily!)

Our Sister Sites

If you are interested in bras, foundation garments and lingerie, be sure to visit:
Bandeau Boudoir (http://members.aol.com/aster314/).
Included is a feature on the famous Maidenform "I dreamed..." ads, and if you remember these, you'll definitely want to have a look.

Visit Sylvia Aster's Place (http://www.ruralamerica.net/~aster/place/)
for more interesting images and an essay on The Romance of Associations Past. There's also a special essay, in words and pictures, on the slip, which I'm sure you'll enjoy!
PLEASE NOTE: The URL for this site has changed, as of 10/5/97.

Both work just as this site does, and undergo regular updates. Special features are also added from time to time. If you like them, why not drop links to them on your homepage? I'd love it if you added a link to the Bridal Image Parlor as well!
