From the buttoned up Victorians, to the flapper look of the 1920s and the make do and mend dresses of the war years, each era has its own distinctive look.
Waterbeck reader Peggy Race agrees and was delighted to share her grandparents’ sepia wedding pictures with us, to kick start a new Nostalgia series.
Peggy, who was born and brought up in America, said: “I remember seeing the wedding dress in a drawer in Grandma Carew’s house when I was a child. It was deep green velveteen with beautiful bugle beads around the neckline.”
Her grandparents, Julia Halloran and Murray Carew, were married in St Stephen’s Church in Stevenville, Wisconsin in October 1932.
Also pictured here are Peggy’s great grandparents, Dennis Halloran and Elizabeth Laird, who married in October 1896.
