Photos and Outfits from ‘Summer Bride’, 1954
Is anyone planning a 1950s wedding?
I was very lucky to get my hands (briefly) on a 1950s Bridal magazine and rushed off some quick scans of the nicest pages to share with you.
Presenting, Summer Bride 1954

The dresses in this magazine are gorgeous!

| My ideal wedding dress, I think |
The magazine is absolutely filled with bride-to-be advertisements. Some very relevant….
Some, not so much! (I think this advertiser is clutching at straws)
And suggestions for what to wear on your 1950s Honeymoon.
I would love to get married again in Australia – on the day it’s made legal. I know it’s probably a long way off the way the political climate is at the moment, but a girl can dream right?
The full set of images are here on Flickr, I hope you enjoy them!

I had a 50's style wedding, but I wore a 50s light pink prom dress because 50s wedding dress were quite impossible to find with a L size…

Isn't picture #2 Tippi Hedren? I think so!

i will wear a late 40s/early 50s lace tee dress in dark creme at my wedding in two weeks 😉
sadly i found in the old lace a couple of holes near the seams of the bodice. yesterday i tried my best to fix it and luckily i did good. this is what it means to get married in 60 year old dresses…
lovely post.

So very, very lovely! When my darling husband and I were married (nine years ago this October), we had a super small civil ceremony and I didn't even wear a wedding dress. I loved that day and don't mind at all that I didn't have a more traditional wedding, but sometimes we both discuss how much we'd love to have a vow renewal ceremony that's more akin to said traditional wedding. If that ever happens, you bet your bottom dollar that I'll be going vintage all the way – especially with my dress.
Thanks for sharing these beautiful images – they really do set the heart aflutter.
