Some people love to get creative with their weddings, but this wedding party took their theme to the next level. There’s a whole lot going on in this photo. We’re kind of at a loss where to start. Okay, let’s address the obvious. This couple’s wedding party is wearing knee-length togas like it’s no big deal. The togas are really jarring, especially considering that the bride herself is wearing a cute boho dress that is totally 70s.
Even weirder, the men in this photo are wearing normal, average suits. But wait, there’s more! Who is that person in the middle? Inexplicably, they’re dressed in a disco-themed jumpsuit with a plunging neckline that would make 2000-era Jennifer Lopez jealous. To top off this completely chaotic wedding photo, there’s a pirate ship in the background. We’re getting whiplash just looking at this photo, but at least the toga dresses are eye-catching.
A Golden Wedding
It’s wild to think that the 70s were 50 years ago. The time really flies. Someone posted this photo to commemorate their parent’s fiftieth wedding anniversary. It’s a total blast from the past. Everyone looks very happy in this photo, but we’re going to have to bring the mood down. Those bridesmaid dresses were not it.
The original poster of this photo shared that their mother made all of the bridesmaid dresses herself, which is quite impressive. They look pretty professional, even if the style is unfortunate. There’s even a matching flower girl version of the dress, which is precious and ugly at the same time. We especially love how this bride had all her bridesmaids wear a veil alongside her. She definitely had no qualms about sharing the spotlight.
A Showstopping Bridal Party
If you thought the trend of having a large bridal party was a new thing, think again. This retro bride went all out and had eleven women in her party. Even more impressive, she was able to coordinate matching dresses, veils, and gorgeous bouquets for everyone. The thing is, all of these dresses look like they’re white. Any modern-day wedding guest knows that wearing white to a wedding is a major faux pas.
The bride looks pretty happy, so we’re assuming the white color palette was pre-approved. If these bridesmaid dresses were worn today, they would definitely get figuratively torn apart on the internet. The hat-slash-veil look is a little silly, but it was probably an acceptable style at the time. Something about this photo tells us that this couple spent a lot on their wedding. Those dresses, although no longer considered fashionable, look well-made and expensive.
Cottage Core: Wedding Edition
Do brides actually dress their bridesmaids in hideous dresses to make themselves look better? One look at this photo will tell you the answer to that age-old question. You can see the pain and suffering behind the smiles of these three women. Even all these years later, we all know they did not want to be wearing those dresses.
Let’s not beat around the bush. These pastel gingham dresses are hideous. They were ugly back then, and they’re ugly by today’s standards. Only the most royal of cottage core queens could pull this look off. The white bows and lace edging of the dresses make these poor ladies look like Easter bunnies instead of bridesmaids. We can’t help but wonder what the bride’s dress looked like.
Waiting in White
What would you do if you showed up to a wedding and all the bridesmaids were wearing white? Apparently, that’s exactly what happened at this 1960s wedding. They all look pretty happy about it, so this was either a coordinated sabotage attack or a misguided idea by the bride. But let’s get to the real star of the show: those hideous hats.
What in the world were they thinking? Those lace hats look like something between “Mary Poppins” and an 1800s ball outfit. Along with the matching bangs, we’re going to have to give this look an unfortunate zero out of ten. At least the bouquets look bright and vibrant.
