By the ’70s wedding fashions were beginning to drastically change. Brides even began wearing pantsuits.
Men even began wearing colorful suits and tuxedos and the traditional look was becoming a little outdated.
The Honeymoon Era
If extravagant weddings weren't enough, by 1968, newlywed couples were jetting off to exotic destinations where they would enjoy their romantic honeymoons.
This was made possible when the 747 Jumbo Jet allowed affordable long-distance traveling.
Fashion Icon
Towards the end of the decade, the short and cute wedding dress and general "pixie" look was still very much the trend. Many brides also began going for the hat instead of the veil.
Audrey Hepburn was one of the most iconic women to don this look and even doubled down with both a short dress and a head-covering.
Rocking It
Rolling Stones frontman and rock "lord" Mick Jagger married Bianca Pérez-Mora Macías in 1971.
The beautiful bride rocked up in a Yves St. Laurent jacket. You couldn't get cooler than that.
So Much Lace
In the 1972 iconic film The Godfather, Don Corleone uttered the line, "You come into my house on the day my daughter is to be married, and you ask me to do murder—for money." This later went down in history as the most famous wedding scene ever made.
It's also noted for depicting some of the very popular wedding fashions of the time such as oversized headpieces attached to veils, shoulder pads, and lace (a lot of lace.)
