Weddings

[Cal241]

Hi

I have been rooting around my old photos and thought how nice it would be to see an aray of wedding photos showing how they havechanged over the years.
I was at my cousins a few weeks ago and her husband found in the attic of an elderly relative some cine film C1930 of his mum and dads wedding which he had put onto DVD.... it is fabulous!

These photos are of my great uncle Ted Ingram 1911 Australia and my mum and dad 1953

I am also interested in how weddings have changed over the years...for example when did the tradition of a white dress come in,is it true that brides married in red or black?

Please see photo to the left!  Grandma and granddad married in 1911.  I don't know what colour the outfits were, but I do have the ostrich feather that Beattie wore.  It is now brown.  Unfortunately, I can't remember the story as to whether it was dyed afterwards.

Hi
Great link Red thanks for that.

Sallysmum unfortunately I can't see your piccie and some others (have had this problem since I upgraded my antivirus!! although I can see Dawnwas's hamster ..how odd)

How great it is you have something from their wedding though, I wonder if the feether  was brown at the time.

Would love to see some more wedding photos (old and not so so ..... how about some piccies of RCs? )

Hi Cal
Thought I would attach it to see if you can see it within the text.  It is interesting to note that this wedding also took place in 1911, the same as your Uncle Ted's.  My grandmother looks very formal in a suit whereas your great aunt is in a dress.  Is this a difference in class?  I have only just started researching and I'm trying to ascertain the social standing of my grandmother's family or it could be fashion.  Your uncle married in Australia?  Grandma was married in Newcastle upon Tyne.

PS the cine film must have been wonderful and so unusual for the time!

Hi,

My gran was married 1911 and l had no idea of how they dressed in that time. Your pic was of great interest. Funny doing the family tree now and all have passed on l found that they married on the same date as myself. My 3 x grandmother married the same date as my second wedding. Also alot of the birthdays are the same as my family.

Hi
I am not sure about the class differences maybe it was fashionable in the UK to wear formal dress or I was thinking maybe it was the type of wedding they had. My gran and Grandad married at her home in Edinburgh I suspect she may not have worn a fancy dress as it was not a church wedding. I have nothing to support this theory it is just my thoughts. But what I did notice is that both of the grooms outfits are so similar
As I have no other photos of early family weddings I was going to surf to see if I could find similar fashions of the times my ancestors were married
