This #tbt (Throwback Thursday, duh!) we’re getting nostalgic about The Knot’s early years (did you know that The Knot was founded in 1996?)! Since then, we’ve featured thousands of real weddings, with new weddings every week!

Original Knotties rocked the princess top knot, while today’s Knotties often opt for a looser, more tousled look. What’s for certain is that a chic and stylish updo will never go out of style.

The Cameras

Back then, the only way Knotties could compile their friends’ and families’ photo perspective was by developing film from disposable cameras. Today’s Knotties have a lot of options when it comes to fun photo opportunities, like wedding hashtags, photo booths, and Instagram streams!

The Shoes

While shoe styles have changed quite a bit since the first Knotties were featured, what hasn’t changed is our love for footwear (one of the most important wedding day accessories!) and the shoe shot.

Knot brides have been trendsetters since day one, and always go out with a dramatic flare (literally!)
