Featured Vintage brides

Fun thread!

 

Quite a stoic couple.

But if the tide comes in any further they will both literally be swept away.

 

Swept away!
Romantically, I'm sure you mean!

 

The bridesmaids are all thinking, "Hurry up already! I've got to pee!"

 

My mom and dad...
They loved each other dearly; but they had no freaking clue what they were in for.

 

That dress looks regal.

 

Still have it in storage, but haven't had a chance to look it over yet. I hope it's in good shape!

 

Considering the equivalent life span, this is technically a vintage picture and one of my very favorite weddings.

Brenda Anna, the wedding photo of your parents is lovely.

 

Thank you! They were a handsome couple.

 

Movie stars, Brenda!

Puppy love, OG!

 

Hi Brenda,
Your parents are very good looking.

lol my first thought is posting my wedding photo. 3

 

Well, I know this is an OLDER link, but was looking up CDV cards which became Cabinet Cards and came across ANOTHER Wedding party which looks more like a funeral party with the bland and saddish expressions!!!! Note the black wedding dress which Wiki said was quite fashionable in the mid to nineteenth century!!!!

 

Geeeeez... give 'em blindfolds and shoot 'em.

 

Aquitane, that is a very interesting dress on the bride.

I don't recall ever seeing horizontal tucks/pleats across a portion of the lower edge of a bodice.

I do like the large(r) pleats across a portion of the front bottom of the dress. The ribbon/sash running diagonally across the skirt portion of the dress (ending with large bow) is also a first for me.

Just curious but . . . have others here seen such embellishments placed the same way on dresses in old photographs????

 

Now that you point that stuff out, YourTurn, that IS interesting. Somehow I imagine that it was either a high-end fancy-schmancy job, or a talented amateur with wild ideas...

 

Hmmmm, GaleriaGila, thinking about that makes me wonder if . . . surely that "bride's" dress is not so old that at one point it "required" a hoop.

Then again . . . what if it was her mother's dress (wedding or otherwise) which had to be "altered"/"diminished" some way to fit a second-generation bride years later.

 

I wonder, YourTurn, I do wonder.
These old photos are mesmerizing.

 

You mean vertical?
