As Ariel said, "the bangs and the dress, I DIE." This bride and groom are gorgeous, and the detail on her wedding dress in this picture just might inspire some of your wedding ensembles!
This photo is entitled "Tres Hippies, El Paso, September, 1975." The one in the middle is the groom. Now *I* die.
The sextastic short dresses and the colors that everyone is rocking on this photo. I think the groomsman's purple suit and the bridesmaid's shoes are killing it!
The description of this photos says, "Found image. I think this is a 1920s wedding. It was the custom in some parts of Spain to be married in your best dress which would have been black. I bought this photograph in Madrid." I don't know what I love more, the headpiece, the dress, or that epic 'stache.
I have a happy-time thing for bridesmaids wearing veils. And I think that these little veils might actually be the same turquoise blue as their dresses. Oh '50s fashion, how I adore thee.
This wedding photo from 1955 is just a stunning piece of wedding photography. I could stare at it all day. This photo is of Flickr member DevaVB's mom and dad, and, she tells me, they were married for fifty-five years!
So, vintage wedding photos — do we want to make this a regular funtime Friday snack or what?

THIS is amazing. And I will totally contribute. For my wedding this past October I actually had a table with photos from our parents and grandparents weddings. It was a wedding-photo-family tree, kind of thing. So I've got some great shots from the 70s and 40s/50s. Love this.

okay, i know i'm WAY late to the party, but this is awesome. while i was poking around the flickr group, i did some googling and found this site that has pages of wedding photos, dated from the late 1800s through today, all sorted by era. it's such a neat look into the trends!
