  Glamorous Bride

• Annette Cadell said:

  Small waists and full skirts and often a sweetheart neckline were all the rage in the 1950s and ribbed silk and duchesse satins were popular. This gown appears to be covered in tulle. The detail on the bodice is interesting. Note the sea of hats.

Buttons, bows, bouffant hair and a Beautiful Bride

Wartime wedding ca 1940

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  1940s weddings were less formal than in previous and following decades, however, with most were held during the 10 am and 1 pm brunch time with a light meal and cake served to guests after the church ceremony. As with most events, 1940s wedding clothing varied from business dress to very formal attire. Often the bride, groom, and the wedding party would all wear their best suits and dresses. Some brides chose to make a dress for the occasion but chose a color and design which meant they could wear it again after the wedding. Rose pink was a very popular choice for brides and bridesmaids and white silk and satin were unavailable due to the war, lace, and tulle weren’t rationed although it was still very expensive.

  Top left corner has "Doug McEwan During war" There was a Douglas Harold McEwan who served in WW2. He was from Toowoomba. He was married Jessie May Wright on 20 July 1940. Comparing his army portrait to this photograph, they appear to be the same man.
