I got married in 1972 we will celebrating 52 years together this year! I had an empire waist dress with a long bishop sleeves and a finger tip veil. I remember it was an off the rack dress from JC Penny. It cost $42 and the veil was $17 . Why do young people think they need to take out a mortgage size loan to get married? The average bride back then usually had a modest dress , a simple church wedding and a reception at the church hall and maybe one bridal shower held by family and friends at home. Weddings have now morphed into monstrous extravaganzas with a budget larger than the national debt. Then 7 months later the couple is in divorce court.

The 1980s was definitely a decade

Dresses were elegant and the brides demure. Dresses today look like hooker street walker dresses. No class or style.

Hey Kleinfeld's are you seeing this? Read the comments...

The music wasn't bad either!

I got married in 1973 and my gown had long mutton style sleeves, a high neck, it was high waisted. It looked like a Renaissance gown with an open pleat down the front with lace inset. It cost $125 and I did my own hair, nails and makeup.

And the long hair down

All shoulders and cleavage these days. Nothing demure.

Or back tatts😂😂😂

Mine looked like the first one.

Да, дамы были дамами, их добивались мужчины, на них хотели жениться. Платья были красивые, нежные, без голых ног и плечей, как сейчас"из сауны".

I bought my off the rack wedding dress in 1972 at JC Pennys it cost $40 empire waist, bishop sleeves, high neck, floor length, white. Very pretty very modest. I still have it in my closet will be married 52 years this year. Things are so different now. Brides walking into church ( if they bother even getting married in church anymore) half naked with everything hanging for everyone to see. It used be that if their was too much skin showing you’d be required to wear some type of lace coverup over the top of your wedding dress in churches. In stead of raising the bar they lowered the standard. How many royal brides have you seen walk into a cathedral in Europe with their chest hanging out ??? None that I know of. There’s no point in modesty in a bride anymore they most likely are already shacked up with the groom with a couple of kids they already had , not to mention they could have been married before and most don’t bother even getting married in a church. So the truth is they should dress like street walkers cause they’ve already been there and done that. No need for modesty because honestly there are no modest ladies left. ( Do not even get me started on putting a white gown on a bride covered in tattoos that make her look like Ray Bradbury’s Illustrated man. It make about as much sense as putting lipstick on a pig.) In a word fashion now is not liberty it is total license.

In quegli anni non erano consentiti in chiesa abiti succinti,gli abiti erano però molto belli anche nella loro semplicità.Io hosposato nel 79',a quei tempi più che altro venivano invitati i parenti non esistevano liste di nozze,ognuno portava ciò che regalava in casa dello sposo o sposa,a quel punto veniva consegnata la bomboniera o sacchettino con confetti secondo secondo se amico o no e se invitato o no,i regali venivano esposti in sala su un tavolo con sopra una bella tovaglia bianca insieme ai confetti da consegnare,insomma era più sentito e più romantico anche solo a vedere come ho scritto sopra,almeno qui' in Italia.UN SALUTONE A TUTTI👋

Bellissimo sposi quanto l amore non ha tempo ed epoca .....poesia che rimane imortale con il suo bene e male ❤❤❤❤

Most of these 70s wedding dresses still look very appealing (minus their fussy hats/veils). The long sleeves, long flowing/unstructured skirts, and clean lines look very flattering on all of these women, and look very easy-breezy/comfortable. Very different from the big, fussy styles that would become popular in the 80s. What didn't age as well were the bright/loud bridesmaids' dresses and men's suits.

My husband and I were married in 1970 and Mum made my dress. It had long sleeves, empire line and sleeves and bodice were trimmed with galoon lace. I loved it. I find it distasteful when I hear young women say they want to look sexy on their wedding day. I wanted to look desirable.

My aunt had the most beautiful short lace wedding dress in 1960’s she looked beautiful and looked like a star. Lots of photos of my Mum in a rainbow array of wonderful bridesmaids dresses, her own dress was made by my Dad’s aunts who were court dressmakers it cost £6.

Pure class act all of these brides...❤

That looks like Delvene Delaney on the cover of Australian Women's Weekly (in the crocheted gown).

They at least got married back then 11:03

If you notice, today very few couples are married in a church. Everyone is at a venue of some sort or a beach.

My Mum used the Simplicity pattern to make my sister's bridesmaid dress. She wore a floppy hat. 1974

así me gusta muchísimo los velos de novia 👰

Those were the most beautiful dresses even the short ones r lovely don't like the dresses they were today l think they're awful

Thank you! Married in summer of 1970; soon to be 54 years-wow. My gown was made by a seamstress, from a combination of several gowns we saw in the big bridal magazines, and the veil designed by a hat designer. Still have it! Beautiful with also seamstress -made attendant's gowns! Wonderful event. Best wishes to all. peace

Anyone else notice how young the brides and grooms are? Looks like early 20’s. We were 20 and 21 in ‘76. All our friends married at around the same age. Not like today. Average bride is 28 or so and grooms are 30-ish.

Married in ‘76. Long sleeves, high collar, beautiful dress. Got it on sale at Robinson’s downtown L.A. for $79.00

Married 1968. My mom had my gown and veil preserved and boxed. I still have it in its sealed box all these 56 years later. Bridal gowns today look like Las Vegas showgirl gowns with the deep cleavage and tight butts. Prom dresses are so short and tight absolutely nothing is left to the imagination. Goes along with our failed culture.

All so modest. My sister married in the mid 1960's and her dress was made by our mum.... (as were our bridesmaids dresses and her own very smart shift dress and jacket in velvet... Oh the rude words I learned with that velvet suit!!!!). My sister's dress would have been still in fashion in the 70's

RECATO es la palabra que mejor define estos vestidos y hacian ver a las novias puras y elegantes. Los actuales vestidos exaltan las curvas y elevar a su maximo punto la sensualidad perdiendo toda elegancia y pudor en el proceso, es una verdadera lástima la involucion moral que esta de moda.

So funny seeing these dresses! I got married in the early 70’s and yes, everyone had long sleeves, high waist, and high necklines. And of course the hats! Now everything is strapless, sweetheart neckline and lots of skin.

strapless gowns have no place in a church wedding

These dresses were before my tume but theyre beautiful. Girls getting married today should look for such beatiful and dignified dresses.

Bonitos vestidos!! Con mí hna y mí prima fuimos cortejos de mí tía, apenas con 6 añitos, no sabíamos que hacer 😁💖

Love the cocktail length dresses. ❤😊

I love all these gowns and accessories, but I noticed the blue Edwardian gown has sneaked in.

😂

I can't believe that there are no cleavage all the way down to the kitty cat or down to the but cracks and rhinestones all over the dress. Also, their parents don't have breast all in their faces. And what about no skin tight gowns!!!

Thank you 1979

Beautiful....and not a cleavage in sight!!! Thank the Lord.

Couldn’t help notice an article on front page of brides magazine entitled wedding night jitters(does anyone get them anymore!) 😊

TY I REALLY ENJOYED THIS ..I PLAN ON WATCHING ALL YOUR VIDEOS I CAN RELATE WITH THEM LOL

If you took away the headpieces and viels, most of the dresses would still look lovely today. My favourite was the mini dress!

I had a hat with a wide pink brim, dress with high neck and long sleeves, ballooned from elbow to wrist. Bridesmaid had similar style dress, white with pink floral and white hat, posies pink and white. Laura Ashley heavy influence in early 70s, mine was 1973. My friends husband had a dark blue velvet suit with frilly shirt, long hair and beard and platform shoes, his family said he looked like Austin Powers!

Most of them clean classy looks, tea length or long.

I LOVE the Wedding dresses then. Felt sorry for the brides maids many times.

I love princess length wedding gowns and enjoyed seeing the few shown here. I'm a new subscriber and look forward to seeing more videos featuring wedding gowns of different eras.

La CLASSEE UN. c'est tout !!!!

Now I remember why I eloped.
