Vintage 1950s Weddings

Famous Brides of the 1950s

When Queen Elizabeth was crowned in 1953 there was a brief revival of jeweled crowns to be worn instead of hats.

Audrey Hepburn’s real wedding gown in 1954 had a full tea-length skirt, high collar, small buttons down the center, billowing elbow length sleeves and a wide sash around her waist. It enveloped her tiny figure.

Debbie Reynolds  wore a crescent wedding hat with a veil in 1955.

 Jackie Kennedy wore her grandmothers rosé point lace veil attached to a small tiara of lace and orange blossoms. It contrasted nicely against her ivory silk taffeta ball gown with ruched bodice and off the shoulder neckline. 

 Grace Kelly wore a skin tight long sleeve lace wedding gown for her church wedding to Prince Rainier.

In 1952 Brigitte Bardot wore a Victorian style dress featuring a high collar, long sleeves and train, included a chic white muff, embroidered veil and open-toe shoes.

Natalie Wood wore a modern white, strapless cocktail dress with a lace hood,  jacket, and ballet flats.

Marilyn Monroe wore a light beige muslin gown. Rumor has it she couldn’t find a veil to match so she dipped her veil in coffee to turn it beige.
