LIFE Magazine released rare photos of JFK and Jackie's 1953 Wedding. It was 60 years ago, that they were married. Their wedding was so classy, it still captivates me today. I found it to be so exquisite. Wanted to share. Enjoy.

You always share the most wonderful pictures, Kim. I love how I've never seen all these photos before! Always love seeing and discovering new things. It is a surprise that Jacqueline's dress was made by a black fashion designer (gosh I feel bad using the word "black") esp during the 50s where the prejudice is prevalent. Respect for that lady!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous wedding, the place looked gorgeous, even the church. She had a stunning dress, love that. And it's marvellous it was made by who it was, something to be proud of. Love looking at old pictures like this...beautiful. Have a lovely weekend doll :) x
ReplyDeletebeautiful photos! Such a stunning detailed dress too.
ReplyDeleteLike you said, a very classy and classic wedding, doesn't look dated after 60 years at all!

Thanks for this trip back in time, great photos :-D
ReplyDeleteThey were such a beautiful couple and very classy. Jackie's wedding gown is gorgeous. It must have been a big Society wedding in Newport during that time.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these wonderful pics, Kim:) Jackie was such a beautiful bride it's almost a crime...her gown by Anne Lowe is breath-taking.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great wedding and great photos and thanks for highlighting the fashion designer, who after 60 years is getting the acclaim she deserved then.

Morning Kim! I agee, it was a super classy wedding, it captivates me as well till today. I never saw the photos, neither know they have been published on Life Magazine. She looks like a princess, full of grace and seems very happy. I didnt know about the gown's designer, is really interesing and makes me think why the thing isnt so much known. Kisses dear, have a great weekend! xoxo

What a treat, dear Kim. I had never seen these photos before. They look so normal, and wonderful.

Stunning photos, dear Lady!! That dress is beautiful and I think she was totally elegant. I had never seen this before. Happy week.
ReplyDeleteOh wow so beautiful and classy. I just read a book about Jackie Kennedy. A work colleague noticed I loved fashion and gave it to me to borrow. It was really interesting and I realised how much of a style icon she is and the timeless nature of so many of her pieces.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! She is the epitome of classy and lovely. I've also never seen these photos. Thanks for sharing!

Wow. What beautiful pictures. What an amazing dress.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny how this was so many years ago but the look is so timeless that any modern bride could wear that dress and happily stand by a cake like that.
These pictures are truly snapshots from a different era. I also didn't realize the story behind her dress - very cool!
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing her second wedding dress (Valentino) and it is so much simpler!

ReplyDeleteThe Kennedy's had such a gorgeous wedding and it's nice that it was so down to earth as well as classy. Jackie's dress was really beautiful. So cool to learn more about the designer.

The JFK era was before my time and so I didn't really start wanting to learn more about his life and the mystery surrounding his death until recently- it was all thanks to Adrienne LaCava's latest political thriller book titled, "No One Can Know" which has a fascinating plot surrounding the JFK assassination. I found the book to be extremely addicting. I am now wanting to learn even more about this fascinating family. Thank you for sharing these beautiful photos!
