This week’s wayback machine brings us three photos from a wedding in 1951 chock full of old Hollywood glam. Enjoy!
The layered dresses! The ruching! The Juliet caps! The amazing embroidered mantilla veil! This is one of those times to soak in the details. The couple’s kissing shot is straight out of Casablanca.
Here is what Julia had to say about her submission:
When my grandfather passed away in November 2009, I was lucky enough to have my grandparents’ wedding pictures handed over to me. I scanned each one onto my computer and absolutely adore them.The funny thing was that before this, I had never seen a photograph of their wedding day, even though they had been married until my grandmother passed away in 1994. I’ve always thought my grandma, Ruthe, was very old school Hollywood Glam (think classic Judy Garland), but I was absolutely floored by these amazing pictures! They look like they are straight out of a film. My only regret is that I have no idea what color the bridesmaid’s dresses were and don’t know if anyone does either.
The Wedding details:
Joseph Kozuck and Ruthe Wallmichrath
