About MeThis wedding dress was worn on the 24th of August 1963, at the Kirk of St Nicholas in Aberdeen.Fashion in the 1960s could be adventurous and daring. Some brides still preferred the more conservative, romantic wedding styles made popular by Queen Victoria in the nineteenth century. This dress features traditional detail such as lace, tucks, frills and flounces, and a long train.
