vintage bridesmaids

1920's wedding1944 bride with her bridesmaids ~ Every maid's dress is different, not just in color but style as well. Makes you wonder if, during the years of war shortages and clothing rationing, she allowed each girl to wear a dress she already owned from previous weddings in her own, and turned it into a rainbow color theme of some kind. It certainly wasn't the "fashionable" thing go do then, as it could be in later decades.1853 Bride and bridesmaidsMiss Helen Hay and her bridesmaids. Miss Hay was the daughter of John Hay who had been private secretary to President Lincoln and later Ambassador to the Court of St. James under President McKinley. Mr. Whitney who, like his father, went to Yale, was 26. For a wedding gift, Col. Payne gave the couple a Stanford White house at 972 Fifth Avenue.1930s weddingBride and brides maids, early 1900'sPortrait of a bridesmaid, c. 1918.
