Wedding home movie

This silent home movie of a 1955 wedding includes excellent close-ups of 1950s fashion – elegant dresses, tailored suits and charming accessories worn by both adults and children – and provides a rich visual snapshot of the era’s style. The bride and groom stand proudly in a church archway, capturing a timeless moment of joy and happiness. The film then sweeps through scenes of the wedding party and guests, offering warm glimpses of celebration. In capturing personal moments from a family wedding – the laughing, overwhelmed bride, the groom's white gloves, tired and distracted children in the bridal party, beaming relatives – the footage highlights elements of a time-honoured ritual that have stayed constant over decades, even while the details have changed.
