Wedding Dresses Through the Decades 1950's and 1960's


1950’s weddings

This was a return to an age of prim and proper wedding dresses with waistlines being lowered and a feminine hourglass silhouette being created with nipped in waists and flared skirts. Often women would wear a shorter length dress with a flared petticoat underneath a la Audrey Hepburn.



The 1950's style of fashion has become iconic throughout the world and has since inspired designers to this day with the rockabilly trend in dresses and wedding dresses


1960's weddings

With revolution in the air again women’s fashion turned more casual with waistlines rising back up to an empire line and hair styles becoming more casual. Often wedding fashion was either maxi skirts or miniskirts



The hippy culture towards the end of the 1960's brought in more loose clothing and often medieval inspired wedding dresses such as this hippy style wedding dress


So what wedding dress fashion do you prefer out of all of them so far? Do you have a photo of a relative's wedding day you'd like to share?

We'd love to hear from you
