Boulter Family Films: Bridesmaids In Pink, Stratford (1963)

Shocking pink outfits, impressive cake and a gargantuan veil feature in this brief home move shot at this wedding somewhere in East London

Taken from the Boulter Family Films archive sometime in the early 60s, it’s not entirely clear where this wedding scene took place – but the brief appearance in the background of a London bus, with Stratford on the rear, suggests it’s somewhere in East London. Good for fashion spotting, the film features bridesmaids in shocking pink, the bride’s humungous veil, a grand cake and some very happy relatives at a bus stop.
