Aren't these vintage honeymoon photos fabulous? I found them all of flickr.com care of users anniebee and haunted_snowfort. The first two belong to haunted_snowfort, and the people in the photo are the users great aunt and uncle, Bess and Wes. The last three pictures, user anniebee bought from a dealer and lovingly named Ted and Helen. I simply adore both couples!
Just look at that parasol and those knee socks, they were the sunscreen of the times! The matching monogram one-piece bathing suits on Bess and Wes are just darling! When my dearest and I finally are able to go on our honeymoon I am going to make sure we get these traditional photos! Couple on the beach, couple in the water... we've seen it time and time before, yet these types of pictures never get old. You can practically feel the warm young love coming from the pictures!
While Bess and Wes seemed to be a proper couple living on the straight and narrow, Ted and Helen are edgy. Just look at Helen, she's gorgeous! So put together on a simple countryside walk! Also, look at them in their hotel room... a little risque, aren't they? Ted and Helen were simply before their times. The shower and towel portraits are so personal! Lastly, look at Helen in front of that car. The woman knew how to pose! Her driving gloves, the headband, her entire outfit-- it just works! I hope I have even just an ounce of Helen in me: she's classy, sassy and downright beautiful!
Now I've got sandy beaches and cold margaritas on my mind!
