The Beatles: Sgt Pepper's Era

During 1967 flower power and psychedelic rock was in and The Beatles reflected that in their style and new album Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.  They dressed in satin military suits in bold colors for the album photo shoot and each of them grew a mustache and john started wearing his trademark round spectacles.  Sgt Pepper's is considered one of the greatest albums and is one of my favorite Beatles albums and I own the LP.  It's such a great album even after Brian Wilson heard it he had a mental breakdown.  Here are some photos of the Beatles during the Sgt Pepper's era

Beautiful Brides

Here are some photos of 50s 60s and 70s weddings.  The most important thing at a wedding is the brides dress. Vintage wedding dresses came in all different styles, but unlike nowadays strapless was rare.  Most dresses had long sleeves, during the late 60s the mini wedding dress was very popular.  Sharon Tate wore a mini dress for her wedding and Bianca Jagger wore a suit.  Some of these ladies had big weddings and others had simple small weddings, and hippies had hippie weddings!  But they all looked amazing on their big day.
