Bridal gowns in the 1960s mostly featured high-waisted empire silhouettes and up-styles were definitely ‘in’. Many brides wore domed pillbox hats that featured bouffant veils or decorated skull caps. Large brimmed hats were also popular accessories.
Hemlines crept up higher and higher as the decade wore on. Micro-mini dresses became all the rage, giving wedding shoe designers a freedom that they had not previously had to capture brides with innovative and eye-catching designs. Pointed shoes were the style of choice, but as boho-chic emerged alongside the popularity of music festivals, some brides ditched shoes altogether. These boho brides styled their hair in a way that highlighted vibrant garlands. Flower power was well and truly on its way. Here below is a set of fabulous photos that shows what brides looked like in the 1960s.
