In the early 1960s, there were little changes in the wedding dresses. This was a time when girls still wore circular skirts, which were sometimes supported by crinolines, tight sleeves and short veils. The only real change for brides at that time was that the wedding veils became more bouffant. To go perfect with the back-combed hairstyles then in vogue, this kind of wedding veils were in need. They would also use a large single rose which could also bring great beauty to the bride’s over-all look. In contrast, tight little posies were used instead of the large flowers before.
Princess Margaret had her great wedding ceremony in 1960, but it was quintessentially of its era. The only difference was that she made a matching long veil for her long and noble wedding dress. During the middle years of the 1960s, however, the influences of the "Swinging Sixties" designs of Mary Quant and co were beginning to work. Waistlines first dropped, and then straight, shift-style bridal dresses began to be seen during the bridal dresses at that time. Along with the narrower line, returned the train and the "cathedral" veil! Maybe they think these changes were too shapeless for the wedding dress fashion. As the times come by, it quickly evolved into the empire wedding dresses times, with the waist tight under the bust which can make the bride look taller and elegant. Influenced by mainstream design, floral bonnets and floppy hats were becoming more and more popular among brides at that time. These trends tend to be popular during the next decade, when hoods attached to the dress, and Juliet caps worn with or without a veil, also became popular headgear.
