Your wedding should be classy not vulgar. Women dressed very modest in the 70's compared to today. Very nice!

[@janewasson4845]

You mean no one has half their chest hanging out in church in front of their Dad, brother and pastor???? Mine looked like the first one. Will be 50 years in June!! ❤️

[@karenpalladini5010]

Agree 💯%. My dress looked very similar to the first one too. Congratulations on your 50th wedding anniversary. We will also be celebrating our 46th in June.

[@maryannschwittek4984]

I got married in a Catholic Church. We would never have considered revealing gowns. Come to think of it, I don’t even remember them selling stuff like that.

[@karenlauricella4976]

Yes they show everything not pretty

[@jordisbraun4985]

Or divorced and 2 children and marrying in white dress. Or having 2 children already from this groom /husband and now she has finally got him ​@@lindaangus2307

[@kat35lulu88]

I was about to post that first dress is my fav! Do you still have it? How awesome is your upcoming anniversary! ❤That's so wonderful....... how will you celebrate? Vaca? Dinner out? Party at your home? 😊

[@sandramajowicz5844]

When I see prom dresses and wedding dresses of today I cringe at the very low necklines and backs. I'm not a prude but I think big boobs and cleavage is just not appropriate.

[@katie7748]

Nothing wrong with big boobs as long as they're covered in public. I'm no prude either but some people have no self-respect nor respect for others.

[@lynnedavies5884]

Well said Sandra.

[@debbieking5171]

I agree with all these comments, the wedding gowns of today are far from respectible, too much being shown. Be mysterious don't reveal everything. The brides of today look like hoochies.

[@kat35lulu88]

I haven't heard that word in ages! It's true you are correct...... 😮

[@nancydunn1564]

These are very pretty and modest wedding gowns. I don’t understand the show- all sexy gowns of today.

[@jorinkema9877]

I married in 1978. My dress was a soft off-white, long sheer puffy sleeves white, a tight cuff, shear lace top, an empire waist, and a chiffon bottom with a high scalloped neck. It is gorgeous.

[@kat35lulu88]

Do you still have it? It DOES sound very pretty....... love empire waist designs!

[@kathleenardrey5094]

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

[@avengernemesis7990]

I paid $55.00 for my gown plus the veil. I had to have my dress made as I weighed only 43kg.. I love the modern day dresses and I wish I could re-marry but that would be a big no, no ! Yeah, I still have my longhaired, sexy dreamboat after 53 years. Except he no longer has long hair.

[@susanpera2131]

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.

[@joanwood9480]

very beautiful and modest. I loved my dress and headpiece. Sister had the popular rainbow wedding. Dresses with the empire waist is flattering on every body. And the wide brimmed floppy hats were also populat

[@lydiapicano8806]

Yes, I love the modest dresses too. Empire waists really don't look good on everyone but, it's a nice option for those who can wear them .

[@katie7748]

​@lydiapicano8806 Empire waists make you look shapeless and/or pregnant. Not a fan except in historical or maternity clothing.

[@marthafuentes2743]

Nice modest dresses ☺️

[@adiraodeda7962]

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

[@HeronCoyote1234]

I got married in ‘81, but had a similar style. Empire waist on someone petite hits halfway between under the bust and at the waist. Add high split collar, bishop sleeves, lace on the bodice and cuffs, and that was my gown. Still love it to this day.

[@Carmenlqm]

Simply beautiful ❤

[@virginagonzales8188]

Amazing Beautiful and muy modest like they should be ❤

[@joan3917]

Pure class act all of these brides...❤

[@drjlrust]

Gorgeous background music! I'd watch this again just to hear it!

[@charlottepeukert9095]

Did no one notice the crochet wedding gown and the wedding umbrella?😂

[@annerector8765]

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

[@baseballmomof8]

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

[@lizholmes2730]

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

[@SamtheMan0508]

My mother made my sister's bridesmaid dresses and my two other bridesmaids made their own. The bodices of their dresses were red velvet because my wedding was around Christmas.

[@melgrant7404]

Remember my bridesmaid dress from when I was nine in 1977.the dress had angel sleeves which was the trend at the time.

[@sharonpolikoff7282]

So much simpler and more elegant than the fussier styles that the Eighties would bring. I prefer Queen Noor's and Princess Caroline's gowns to Princess Diana's fluffy one.

[@hugoskucek]

Princess Alexandre ,Her Gown and bridesmaids were classic understated Elegance .As was Lady Sarah Armstrong Jones.. beautiful wedding and flowers . Brides today follow celebrity culture and end up wearing gowns and carrying bouquets which look ridiculous. sad but true.

[@dawnelder9046]

I was married a month before so my dress still had the 70s look. I was lucky. After that you could not find a nice gown. Went gown shopping with a friend about 10 years later. Everything was hidious. And giant butt bows on everything. She had it removed.

[@DouglasHoffman-pn8dh]

strapless gowns have no place in a church wedding

[@msharradan]

I got married in September 1970. I had a long sleeve empire waist street length wedding dress. My side of the family thought I was pregnant ( only baby I had was born in 1973). I no longer have the dress, but I’m still married to the same man 54 years later. Modern gowns make brides look slutty.

[@user-rz2pc9gp9w]

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

[@Shakespearelover1717]

You can laugh, but at least these gowns covered what needed to be covered on buxom women. The mermaid look today is not for everyone, and yet more brides are choosing that awful line!!

[@jillb80]

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

[@awright8416]

I wanted to know what advice they gave on how to avoid them.

[@ariston5433]

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.

[@lparky4409]

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!

[@suestephan3255]

While the brides dresses were gorgeous & flattering those velvet jackets velvet big bow ties and frilly shirts ugh I disliked them even back then.

[@briannamorgan136]

Every tuxedo brought to you by Gingiss Formalware!

[@baseballmomof8]

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.

[@HighlandDancer31]

Yes. I got married in 1976 and I was only 20 years. Can't believe it when I think about it today.

[@baseballmomof8]

@@HighlandDancer31 the years have gone by so quickly….

[@SamtheMan0508]

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.

[@marshacasteen9300]

I wore a minidress and a wide-brimmed hat!

[@MargaretWilson-nd6eb]

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.

[@Zine2me]

Now I remember why I eloped.

[@awright8416]

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

[@bridgetstenroos4218]

My mom married in 1977. Waring a high neck and some what short dress. With flowers in her hair. My parents got married in reno. Plus the waist was also a little high. So she looked good. I asked about waist. It was Because I was also at the wedding. But I was the size of a bean at the time.

[@carolyncook3611]

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.

[@vbrown6445]

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.

[@KevinMiller-xn5vu]

Makes me wonder what those gowns back then compared to today?

[@wotawanancy3249]

Beautiful gowns. But the tuxs are pretty awful.

[@suestephan3255]

Agree. Those big velvet bow ties and frilly shirts and the guys with the long locks was the style

[@jodydamon436]

Thank you 1979

[@HeronCoyote1234]

Too many of the gowns of today either look like negligees or like they’re performing in Vegas. Save it for the honeymoon, please.

[@marianglisson483]

My husband must really love me because he cheerfully wore the white tux! He looked like “The man from Glad”! Sorry hun! 🤦‍♀️

[@valbeech972]

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

[@ariston5433]

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.

[@patricialavallee8286]

They at least got married back then 11:03

[@williamdona2236]

Mine looked like the first one.

[@luciacristiano5610]

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👋

[@carolinaalvarez4340]

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.

[@gladysclausing8785]

I watch these videos and wonder if I’ll see ours pop up. Wonder where you get the pics from snd if you have permission to publish them. Just curious.

[@emilymartin4057]

The hats and veils kill me.

[@suestephan3255]

And the long hair down

[@josefiege175]

😂

[@carolgriner2269]

UGH! I’d forgotten how awful they were. Thank God my daughter had more beautiful gowns to choose from when she got married recently.

[@unrulysue6927]

As long as she didn't stand in front of a priest or minister with her boobs spilling out everywhere.

[@sherryrutledge8792]

Little Bo peep at 9:13 lol. And they all look like nightgown’s!

[@laurallewien2165]

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

[@julieannesimms981]

Or back tatts😂😂😂

[@HelenETSmith-fx2dv]

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!!!

[@marlene7969]

I don’t remember that hideous yellow being popular as a bridesmaids gown color…

[@joanwood9480]

Oh, yes. When my sister was married in 1970 our older sister was put in a satin and velvet yellow gold gown. It was a terrible color on her.

[@marlene7969]

@@joanwood9480 I only remember a pale yellow being used, and that mostly in the “rainbow” weddings where each bridesmaid wore a different color. I never saw a bright yellow, and the only gold ones I remember were a metallic gold, and those were not very attractive on the poor girls, either! Thank goodness I never had to wear a yellow one! There was only one time I ended up wearing one I didn’t really like, and the bride didn’t find out I didn’t care for it until they had been married for 18 years… She asked why I hadn’t spoken up, and I told her it was her wedding and she liked them, so it didn’t really matter if I liked it or not. She said she’d only picked those dresses because she thought we’d be able to wear them for other events…

[@ellenbrechin3098]

I remember yellow being worn in weddings

[@katie7748]

Yellow doesn't look good on most people. Kudos to the few who can pull it off.

[@gbs5736]

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

[@raqueldonaire2574]

Que feo casarse con sombrero

[@TheSuperHarrygeorge]

All shoulders and cleavage these days. Nothing demure.
