The 1960s were a revolutionary time throughout all areas of life. Peace, love, and flower power reflected in youth counterculture and the decade represented a major break from traditional values. Brides in the 60s did their own thing — tailoring their wedding how they wanted it, rather than what their parents or society expected. Styles quickly became newer, slimmer, and most of all… mini! Mini dresses and skirts took over the fashion trends nationwide, hugely influencing popular culture. Brides that wanted to keep it long chose many different styles, like the v-neck, and began emphasizing their makeup and hair more than ever before.
Sharon Tate
Having designed her own mini babydoll silk wedding dress, Sharon Tate embodies the height of 60s individuality and fashion for her marriage to Roman Polanski in 1968. Her hair, adorned with small flower ribbons, complimented her style beautifully.
