9 Old Wedding Photos
This is a lovely collection of Old Wedding Photos. These are all black and white antique photos showing Beautiful Brides, and some Handsome Grooms, on their Big Day. Most of these were scanned from my collection and they are all high resolution images that you can download for your Craft and Design Projects. I know these Antique Photographs are very popular right now to use in Junk Journals… perhaps you could use these to make a special journal for a Bride to be!
Bride and Groom Old Photos
Here is the latest addition to this collection. This couple look so young don’t they?! I think the bride looks a bit nervous. She looks lovely though with her very long veil and white dress.
This one was scanned from a wonderful antique photo album. There were actually 3 charming Wedding Photos in the album, showing 3 different couples, all dressed in their wedding day finery. The Bride is holding quite a large bouquet of White Roses! This first one is my favorite and you will find the other 2 directly below.
In this next photo, I think this couple look a bit happier than the one directly above! The Bride is holding a large Bouquet of Roses and Ferns and she has bits of Fern all tucked into the fabric in the front of her gown. This one was dated 1926 on the back of it.
This is the third Photograph from that old family album. These two look quite young to me, the groom in particular has such a baby face! This one is dated 1918 on the back of it.
This lovely couple have such serene expressions on their faces. the Bride is not wearing a Veil on her head, but I think it may be draped over her shoulders there. She’s got her bouquet pinned to the front of her bodice. The Groom looks very sharp in his best suit! I think I purchased this one at an Antique Mall many years ago.
Victorian Wedding Photo Black Bridal Gown
Next we have a very interesting Victorian Wedding Photo, showing a Bride in a Black Wedding Dress, with a long white veil. The veil appears to be topped with flowers or some type of greenery. She’s holding a white hanky in her hand. Perhaps she is in mourning? The scene is quite formal, with a patterned carpet and Eastlake Style Table with a Velvet tasseled table topper. I love the frame of this Photo, it was apparently taken in Cedar Falls Iowa. There are names written on the card … they are difficult to make out, but it looks like it says Peter Jepson and Amalie on the back.
Wedding Party Photo
This is a fabulous old photo of a Bride and Groom! Everyone looks so jolly don’t they?!! I just love the men’s Top Hats and spats on their shoes, so fun! This one was submitted by a very kind reader named Clare quite a few years ago. Thank you Clare!!
Real Photo Bride Postcards
These last 2 are Real Photo Postcards of Brides. These are most likely not real brides, but instead they are Actresses posing as Brides. I thought they go nicely with this collection though. The first one is quite a beauty! Her beautiful face is framed with a soft white veil and she has flowers adorning her hair. This is a European card although I’m not sure what country it’s from, the handwriting on the back is French, but the stamp is German. I think the date on the postmark is 1906.
And lastly we see Edna May, who was a beautiful American actress. Doesn’t she look stunning in this amazing Bridal gown with it’s long lace train?! Her hair is crowned with white flowers and her long veil is flowing out of the crown. She’s posing on a staircase with a highly ornate Iron Railing.
I hope you enjoyed this collection of Old Wedding Photos! If you like Vintage Photographs, you might also like our Vintage Cowgirl Collection HERE.

Such interesting styles the brides wore. I notice several have similar white shoes with straps across the arch. And the headdresses–especially the one or two that look like old fashioned night caps! Amazing how styles change, isn’t it? These were fun to look at. Thanks for showing them again.

I am so happy you enjoyed them Naomi 🙂

Each and every dress is so unique. All of the veils the brides wore are also very different from each other. And no hats. I’m surprised because hats were such a big part of wardrobes, perhaps not for weddings. The first photo with the wedding party — they are so ready to party. Good looking wedding party. Dressed to the nines. Thanks for sharing these with us!
Irene says
Hi Karen,
Wow, all of the different styles of wedding dresses! Edna May sure is stunning while she poses on that beautiful staircase. I love this one along with a few of the others. Some of the bouquets are just huge!! Big and beautiful! The one in the black — I would think that maybe it was taken while mourning. There are no flowers. Maybe a shotgun wedding? He looks like he could be her father. They don’t look too happy. LOL! But these are all really nice, very interesting!
Thank you for sharing!

I love your ideas on all of these Irene, thanks for sharing!

VICTORIAN WEDDING PHOTO BLACK BRIDAL GOWN
I would bet money that this bride is dead because of the way she’s leaning over and the wearing of black. They had stands to hold bodies upright for the photo.
graphicsfairy says
Oh gosh, I hope not Crystal! I have heard it was common to wear black wedding gowns before white became the norm.

Thank you for these lovely photos, ladies. I enroled the Photoshop Elements e-course and I must find the time to learn how to remove backgrounds from old photos. I will give it a try soon, I hope it is not too complicated. 🙂
May I suggest a bundle for members with old pics of men, women and/or children with the backgrounds removed? That would be of great help and so versatile!
graphicsfairy says
I am sure you will love the Photoshop course and do great! Thanks so much for the suggestions, I will add them to the suggestions folder for sure!
