Bridal Fashion Show at the Canadian War Museum

Bridal Fashion Show at the Canadian War Museum

From War Bride to Modern Bride, this special event will transport you back in time to explore bridal fashions from the 1940s.

You will discover some of the personal stories of love and war, and adventure and hardship behind these gowns that belonged to a handful of the 44,000 women who came to Canada at the end of the Second World War as war brides. Their stories, of finding and sometimes losing love, represent the leap of faith taken by thousands in order to build lives far from home.

Next, join us for a fabulous contemporary bridal fashion show courtesy of Justina McCaffrey, one of the top bridal wear designers in North America.

This public program is presented in conjunction with the War Museum’s special exhibition, War Brides: Portraits of an Era.
