Who doesn’t love flicking through galleries of wedding dresses and real weddings?  What’s even more fun is flicking through wedding photos of days gone by.

Not only are the fashions vastly different, it’s fascinating peering into faces from the past and wondering about how the couples met, what happened to them, and what sort of life they had together.

So, check out our fantastic gallery of wedding photos of old and if you have one to submit, please do so via email to me, Samantha, at social@easyweddings.com.au. Oh, and if you know the history of any of these photos – or credits – we’d love to hear from you!

This is Lady Helen Decies, granddaughter of the infamous American railroad tycoon and speculator Jay Gould, on her wedding day to John Beresford, the fifth Baron Decies.  Year: 1911.
