Wedding rings for men became popular during the war as a way to visually connect the couple during the separation, according to Vintage Weddings.A 1940s wedding reception typically featured big band music and the Jitterbug. In many ways, the concept of the DIY bride was born in the ’40s: with limited funds available during the war, brides used furnishing fabrics to make dresses (like Scarlett O’Hara in Gone with the Wind), lace curtains to create veils, and paper flowers in their bouquets.
