1940 Wedding

1940's Wedding

The 40's were a little different then the other generations.  The focus was still on family and providing the best you can.  

The American Dream perception was still alive and everyone was greatful for who and what they are.

The 1940's were dominated by World War II. European artists and intellectuals fled to the United States from Hitler and the Holocaust, bringing new ideas created in disillusionment. War production pulled us out of the Great Depression. Women were needed to replace men who had gone off to war, and so the first great exodus of women from the home to the workplace began. Rationing affected the food we ate, the clothes we wore, the toys with which children played.

After the war, the men returned, having seen the rest of the world. No longer was the family farm an ideal; no longer would blacks accept lesser status. The GI Bill allowed more men than ever before to get a college education. Women had to give up their jobs to the returning men, but they had tasted independence. 

Today we make the past romantic, why because they are stories within us.

We see images of what it use to be like and hope that our lives too will have some of the blessings of the previously generations. 

From cake toppers to relationships the difference was people were thought of as individuals.

We were wiser with the knowledge of Holocaust.  The World War II brought a reality and knowledge no one really wanted, had to accept.

Identity thrifts were the first to imager as the people left their county to start new. Walking in someone's shoes was a way to help or hurt.  The believe is that what was happening to the humans on earth was inhuman.  Shoes and dresses were made of the same fabric.  Making them strong durable and able to "Stand the test of time!"

If you knew the right person or had the means you could afford the best.  This is true today, dresses with elaborate details for some  is perfection!

 The perfect hairstyle is part of the era of formality.

                                                                        It went along with the perfections.

 The Floral bouquets were large. The woman were like today friends are friendship. 

    Pictures were posed, not to many natural or journalistic.   

 What a change today we can incorporate products form the past to add to the feel of the era.
