In Australia, September is the month brides start planning their spring weddings. This was as true in 1972 as it is now—as this little pamphlet issued by The Australian Women's Weekly illustrates.
This is from a spread titled "Evening Wedding Fashions". The bridesmaid is in a hooded georgette gown, $40 from Katies. The bride is in a crepe gown, $118, also from Katies. The groom, standing well in the background as grooms do in these fashion shoots, is wearing white tie and tails, and very seventies hair.
For "guests and mothers" from left to right: a crepe dress for $30, a chiffon dress, $44 and another chiffon dress, $40. "All in many colours." I suspect that the model on the right represents one of the "mothers".
Interestingly, though they are posed outside a church, none of the models are wearing hats! This would not have been the case a decade earlier.
