Hello friends! So as some of you may know, I am engaged, betrothed, and affianced - and so I hereby introduce you to part 1 of our 4 part wedding video series! Being the fashion history enthusiast that I am, I decided to do a little exploration into wedding dresses through history and try on 5 authentic vintage wedding dresses (with era-appropriate hairstyling, makeup, and bouquets to boot!) - ranging from the Victorian Era to the 1980s! Which look was your favorite?

    "I've got a lot of these kinds of facts up my sleeve." It's why her sleeves are so big. They're full of secrets.

    My grandmother got married in the early 70's and she wore this HOT PINK mini skirt two piece and honestly she's an icon
  • One of my favourite stories about a wedding dress is, in the 1940s a woman made her own wedding dress from her husband's RAF parachute and then after the wedding she died it a blue colour so she could use it for a going out dress but she kept a piece of her wedding dress white, added a lace border and carried it as a handkerchief for the rest of her life.

    Safiya looks like she would SO fit into the 20’s
  • I'm just passing by - wanted to say thank you for including African-American couples. Others probably said this already but i wasn't about to look thru all the comments ;)

    80’s bride here🙋🏻‍♀️ I HATED my dress so much! I wound up throwing it out afterwards. No regrets, it only cost me $350. You forgot about mentioning the “butt bow” that everyone added to their gowns back then!!! Horrible dress, great marriage so I guess that’s what really counted. Married 33 years on October 17th❤️

    Fun fact: paratroopers used to send the silk from their reserve parachutes back home so their girlfriends could make a wedding dress out of it

    I feel like Safiya’s argumentative essays in highschool were all A++
  • Fun fact: corsets weren't uncomfortable! Corsets were the predecessor to the bra not the spanx 😉. It is also used as a back supporter and could help support all the layers of petticoats.

    Interesting bit of trivia about the color blue in medieval Europe: the Virgin Mary was always painted in blue because it was the most expensive paint color at the time. That shows the importance of the Virgin Mary in medieval artwork. I wonder if the blue used to tint cloth was as expensive? Probably not, if it was commonly used.

    Watching this made me realize that we will have to start addressing the 20s as 1920s.

    My grandmother got married after the war and made her own wedding dress out of parachute material my grandad brought back <3

    I got married in '67. I wore a white lace mini dress over a pale pink mini slip. I also wore a pale pink hat with a huge brim and white kitten heeled shoes. I super enjoyed this video and the different outfits designed to represent brides of the past as well as various images from days gone by. I subscribed so l can enjoy more fashion fun.
  • In the 1980s Princess Diana's wedding dress set the trend for the decade and that's so trueee haha. All my aunts had a simmilar style for their own weddings and they even cut their hair like her
  • @missphindi1325
    Am I the only one qho is constantly impressed by Safiya's references? Like in all her videos????????
  • @amandabanks281
    I was really hoping to see a 1950's dress because I love the tea length style. But overall loved all the looks
