Vintage 1950s Bride & Groom Toasting Glasses - Champagne Coupe Style Set of Two
LOVE AND CARE ARE INGREDIENTS AS IMPORTANT AS SALT AND PEPPER. MARGARET WILLIAMS, THE WELL-FED BRIDGEGROOM, 1957
{HISTORY}
In the 1950s, just after you recited your vows and kissed the lips of your new spouse, this is how you toasted to long love, long life, and happy memories! When it comes to vintage glassware, you can't always be sure of the exact occasion in which they were a part of the merriment, but this pair tells all just in the wording near the rims - Bride and Groom. How fun!
Around here, we love a good champagne glass. These two with their squat stature and wide bowls are the cutest couple in the shop. Each glass is swagged with a bell garland adding an extra flourish of gaiety and a nod towards jovial 1950s era weddings. That was a time when cakes were topped with mini brides and grooms. When crepe paper and organdy festooned the room. And when satin and lace draped and decorated the entire bridal party.
If you are a fan of the saying... Something borrowed, something blue, something old, something new... then these two partiers would be a festive choice for your something old. So cute for photo opportunities, bridal shower decorations and wedding reception styling, these glasses contain all the joy and love of happy occasions and matrimonial bliss.
