These wedding photos must not be published/used elsewhere -
October 1930
is the date of Hilda's Wedding
photo.
Hilda's wedding dress has a hemline covered in feathers. Her veil is edged with a scallop lace and follows the cloche veil style. See another dress with feathered hemline on the 1928 wedding page. This 1930 wedding dress is much longer than the majority of bridal gowns worn through the 1920s. The shortest were in 1926/7, but there was a sudden dramatic drop in hemlines in 1930. Most of the 1930 wedding guests are dressed for autumn days and some for even colder weather. All the women wear long sleeved dresses, or coats and either could be dressed up with fur scarves/collars. Suits are not much in evidence at this wedding. Many of the dress styles follow the dropped waist silhouette of the previous few years, but with longer skirt lengths. If you are comparing an unknown wedding photo with these images chances are your photo was late 1920s early 1930s. These McCall's pattern right are for dress styles for 1929.

The bride and bridesmaid wear much longer gowns that truly adopt the latest fashion styles of 1930. These dress day models below are typical of fashionable styles at the dawn of the new decade in 1930. The line is slender, but the waistline has begun a shift upward. The evening dresses show longer calf lengths which had begun to take hold in 1929.
The bride's trousseau was still an important feature of the preparations for marriage in 1930. My 1930 Good Housekeeping page illustrates what outfits the bride might be expected to select for her 1930 wedding trousseau. This April 1930 fashion issue concentrated on advising the bride of all the latest fashionable styles from Paris and in particular the new silhouette and skirt length. The fashionable new length for the new thirties decade had dropped dramatically and was 4 inches below the knee. This issue also explained specific clothing items could be bought directly from that issue of Good Housekeeping. It also itemised the 1930 trousseau at a cost of $386.15. The fashionable 1930 trousseau included a satin wedding gown, a veil, a 3 piece going away suit and a suitcase of other items which amounted to more than 5 types of dresses, a full coat, jackets, lingerie and more sundry items. Go to 1930 wedding trousseau page. See more late 1930's line drawings here. You can read more about 1920's fashions in flapper fashion.
