I was so happy when the future wife of Prince William appeared in that Grace Kelly - esque gown that captured all of  bridesmaid dresses ; the critical fashion buzz words; style white cocktail dresses , elegance..royalty...sophistication. Like the one worn by Grace herself, it will go down in history as one of the most beautiful wedding dresses beautiful wedding dresses ever made. I'll be honest, I never liked Diana's wedding dress - (is that blasphemy)? Yes, it was iconic and grand, but even in the 1980s, it was too over the top for me. But this wedding gown was perfection personified - It is much easier to design a dress with exaggerated opulence than to create one that is simply sublimely beautiful, well done Sarah Burton of the house of McQueen! But it got me thinking about brides...is Kate really that different from the millions of brides who walked down the aisles before her?
In my
adventures as a vintage clothing dealer long evening gowns , I've seen my share of abandoned
wedding photos. It's the single most powerful thing in the privacy of people's homes that makes me think the most about my
own mortality. I've never understood why no one in the family is interested
in keeping those images that represent of one of the most important days in a life. Sometimes it's because the departed couple doesn't have descendents, but most of the time, that's not the case. I
always buy them..I have a huge box of them that I'm not sure what to do
with. Yes, I claim they are for fashion research because I do sell
vintage wedding gowns , after all, but to be honest, I think that's just an excuse to justify the
obsession.
This 1920s
1 is one of my favorites, as is this little couple! I say little black wedding dresses , not only because of their stature, but because they look about 14. Her bouquet is larger than she is! It's no wonder that

Here's another one that always captures my curiosity - and coincidentally, they are also a couple that is small in stature. Once again, her bouquet has taken on a life of its own! She looks terrified, wedding dresses maybe wondering why she's even doing this. I wonder if this was more of an arranged or convenient marriage. I could be wrong, but she looks almost angry. The other photos from this wedding were all the same, white dresses white dresses fearful, severe faces. She seems to be begging for someone out there, beyond the camera, to rescue her from her fate. Too dramatic? Maybe..but what do you think?
This couple had a very glamorous life together. They lived in Shanghai in the 1920s and 1930s and I have her exquisite silk wedding gown in my inventory. I can't bear to part with it yet, it is truly spectacular..but I will eventually have sell it. They were married in 1930 and were never able to have children, so they spent their lives showering attention on each other. The 1930s dresses , peignoirs wedding party dresses wedding party dresses, slips and nightgowns I acquired from her estate are some of the most beautiful I've ever seen. Her family speaks of her with such affection but remembers the infertility as a lifelong shadow of sadness over her life. I'd like it if she knew that people are still remembering her and how beautiful she looked in her gorgeous gown on her wedding day.

The early 1960s was the backdrop for this couple's "fairy tale" wedding. A tulle and lace pre-equal rights amendment bride with a feisty spirit. She looks happier than any of the brides in my photos. Other than the little flower girl, the ring bearer, and a couple of the groomsmen, this group is either deliriously happy or these photos were taken after a few dry martinis.
Well, that's just a small sample of the brides whose wedding photos I've adopted as if they were those of my own relatives! Though each of these brides didn't have a wedding as grand as that of William and Kate's, and weren't able to hire Sarah Burton or Helen Rose to design their
1, they aren't that different. Like Kate, each one probably had a shaky hand and butterflies in her stomach as she walked down the aisle. Each one hopefully felt like a princess starring in her own fairy tale wedding and the father of each bride most likely shed a tear on that day. Yes, these photos beg the questions about the lives lived beyond the wedding day, and in doing so, they manage to take their own special royal place in history.
