51 Glamorous Pictures of Beautiful Brides From the 1970s

The simplicity is devine. God bless all these lovely brides and their families.🙏

[@debbieking5171]

The gowns from that era are georgous and respectful looking, nothing trashy or vulgar. The brides look like ladies.😊

You don’t think there are gorgeous gowns today? Have you looked at the 2024/2025 bridal season couture designer gowns? Check out Demetrios, Frida, Wona and Eva Lendel.

The bridal gowns from the past look so much more decent than the ones worn today in this day and age. The women have their dresses so low in front, thigh high slits and not suitable to wear in front of guests, as well as some gowns looking too lacy like negligee's that are more appropriate for the bedroom. They must respect themselves.

[@anitakinnear6735]

Some designers have included a few of those “sexy” designs to which you refer, but there are far more gowns that are “suitable” and stunning. These older gowns aren’t more “decent,” and don’t reflect some sort of higher moral ground. Many are homemade, are just what was trending at the time because that’s what people could afford. If these women had access to the gorgeous gowns today, they’d have worn them in a heartbeat.

I agree with you. Some of today's wedding gowns are designed to look like Kim Kardashian or a Vegas show girl. I admire women who look like brides, not someone who show off their "girls" or thigh-high slits to see the family jewels. In the end, to each his own. Just my opinion. 🤔

[@yvetteking7749]

True. It seems as if in the 1990s, they started to introduce sleeveless gowns, and from the 2000s onward, wedding dress design became more and more "sexy" and revealing, and the brides themselves became more trashy and disrespectful. Now, they want to be "sexy", mistaking the slutty looks for empowerment. Some of the new gowns are so revealing, exposing the breasts, slit so high, and showing flesh everywhere else. Can't these women wait until the honeymoon? I never thought that I would prefer anything from the 1970's, but so many wedding gowns from today are so trashy that I have a new appreciation for some of the older fashions.

Yes, as a bride from the 70’s myself, they were definitely modest and pretty. As a young bride should look. That’s another thing. I was married at 21. Brides today are quite often much older.

[@jgriffin282]

@@anitakinnear6735Maybe that’s a good thing dresses were more affordable. Those couples were able to buy a house by not spending a fortune on a dress.

One of the ladies has on the same dress as mine! I thought it beautiful then and I think it beautiful now!

[@denisekitson9390]

Beautiful!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@kathleenjackson2479]

And we didn't get our hair all done up. Very natural.

[@libertyann439]

Ditto on the gowns. Today's designs are trashy.

[@EAPforever]

I can identify with the styles. Especially the bonnet type headress. Good research.

[@VandaPietrantonio]

The wedding dresses of today are not even gowns. They really look trashy and cheap. No backs low fronts slits rather obscene. Granted some of these gowns look like too 3:44 much but the attention was on the bride and they looked like ladies. They did not look like ladies of the night.

[@jgriffin282]

Plus those black tattoos all over. Do they think that makes them more attractive? Sad.

[@darleneprewitt2535]

I think all the brides were beautiful ❤

[@sherryrutledge8792]

I loved the little boho girl at 4:48💕 but most of them look like granny nightgowns! Lol

[@libertyann439]

Sometimes old fashioned is better. We don't want to see everything. Save something for the wedding night.

[@jgriffin282]

It’s called modesty. They didn’t have Kardashians as their role models, thank God.
