Things have changed a lot culturally and socially since the 1950’s and 60’s. When you see an advert from that time it reminds you just how much things really have changed – particularly for women. In today’s wedding memories blog we look at some wonderful vintage adverts selling food and drink that illustrate those changes perfectly. Beautifully illustrated these vintage adverts are pieces of art in themselves…and somewhat funny to look at today.
