Retro Wedding Gowns


Sorry that I do not know who to give credit for this graphic


                                                   In preparation for my annual
                                             WEDDING BLOG PARTY

                                                            on June 10th
  
I'm sharing one of my favorite wedding graphics
for Pink Saturday

I'm also sharing vintage/retro wedding gown photos.....


Styles of the 1950's - early 1970's

Birdcage Veil with Rhinestones

Vintage Crocheted Gloves



Grace Kelly weds Prince Rainier of Monoco, 1956

The taffeta and Val lace confection was a wedding gift from MGM Studios, designed by Helen Rose. Imagine this: 25 yards of silk taffeta, 100 yards of silk net, and vintage Belgian rose point lace. Her headpiece was classic : a bandeau cap covered in tiny seed pearls under an intricate lace mantilla.





                                      Many similarities of Princess Grace's gown to that of
                                        Catherine Middleton, bride of Prince William, 2011


A-Line/Princess Strapless Tea-length organza wedding dress (BST0033)
Retails @ $119.98



Vintage Style White Sleeveless Satin Organza Wedding Dress
Retails @ $105.98


 Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy weds Sen. John F. Kennedy, 1953

Gown designed by Ann Lowe, a very talented African-American dressmaker.  There were 50 yards of silk taffeta, with a very full circular skirt tucked and pleated (Lowe's specialty). On Jackie's head was her grandmother's rose point lace veil hanging from a circular lace cap festooned with orange blossoms. She pulled her look together with short, white kid gloves.
