This family wedding photo is of Carole and her husband
Roger at their white wedding. They were married in 1963 at St. Martin's Church Caerphilly, South Wales
in the UK. The bridesmaid's dresses were a warm pink ribbed
grosgrain fabric and Carol the bride wore a wedding dress made of an ivory brocade fabric.
This wedding dress picture shows how the train flows beautifully. Notice
the beautifully finished sleeves with their pointed facing intended to
elongate the hand into an even more elegant body part on which to focus.
A good wedding dress design should always have a back that offers as
much interest to the congregation as the front. It should also
look elegant in 40 years time. This one certainly achieves that.
The major dressmaking pattern companies like McCall's and Simplicity
offered these bridal patterns for wedding dresses and bridesmaids
dresses in 1963. Notice how similar the styles of the bridal party
are to these wedding dress patterns.
Hair was worn high and bouffant. The bridal veils and headdresses were
often similar to the Jackie Kennedy pill box hats of the era and focused
on added height on top of the bouffant hair style. The floral
corsage headdress is almost like a modern fascinator headpiece.
