We specialize in celebrating love and happy memories here at Annalee. And we’re thrilled that the summer wedding season is here again, since creating heartfelt commemoratives for bridal showers, weddings and anniversaries is a special honor for us.

Whether it’s a couple of cats, a pair of pandas or a match of mice, Annalee has been designing different sets of brides and grooms for decades. While the designs have changed, the tradition of bride and groom dolls continues.

To celebrate the start of this special season, we’ve combed the archives for some of our favorite brides and grooms of the past.

Brides and Groom of the Past

Bride and groom dolls have been consistently featured in Annalee’s catalog throughout the years. While the designs have evolved through the decades, the 7-inch mice set continues to be a signature part of Annalee’s collection. We’ve also created some unique Annalee brides and grooms sets, including special commission gifts. The collections featured below include bride and groom designs since the 1960s.
