Why Boomers Had the Best (and Worst) Wedding Fashion

Proof that love is eternal… but fashion choices are not.

By Micaela Montaña

Published 3 months ago in Wow

Boomer wedding fashion didn’t walk down the aisle: it strutted, tripped on its hem, and posed for a Polaroid. It was a glorious collision of glamour and confusion, where no ruffle was too ruffled and no shade of beige too bold.


One minute it was “timeless elegance,” the next it was “what in holy polyester?” These were outfits that made a statement and that was usually: “We had no idea what we were doing, but we looked unforgettable doing it.”


Strap in. We're about to relive the most delightfully chaotic aisle-walks in fashion history.
